To the first course of the spring in Hold Qi Up, a group of experienced “Qigongers” gathered together with those who participated in their first course. Several among the new participants arrived from places at a short distance from Stockholm and they had joined us to learn our method. Some of them had been inspired from reading about other’s good effects from the training at our website.
A positive and fruitful element at our courses is how the more experienced help the new participants. That contributes to a faster learning process and that the results can become clearer.
Extracts from participants’ comments:
Stress
“Thank you for a lovely course. I started practising in October last year. I got a “home feeling” coming back here. Qigong helps me against stress”
Alert and happy
“It has been a very good weekend, lovely to spend time with all of you and to have a nice time”.
Stronger
“Since I first started here I have practised daily. Since October I have practised for an hour every morning and an hour in the evening. I spend a lot of time outside, walking. I’m on disability pension because of a fatigue syndrome and since October I’ve noticed that I have more energy. I’m stronger, more flexible and I have a better self-esteem. I feel so much better from spending time outdoors, get moving, ice-skating. The more qigong I practise, the more activities like that I can do.”
ME (Chronic Fatigue Syndrome)
“I’m attending my first course and I have ME since 14 years back. I shouldn’t manage this course at all, but I can even speak now after the course.”
Sense of safety
“I have practised for many years; the qigong training is a great source of comfort to lean on. I notice that qigong is very good for everyone at home, it gets so calm.”
Exciting
“Very exciting, I read about this kind of qigong at your website. I read so many success stories and I thought I’d attend a course. I want to deal with some physical and mental things. I’m a very creative person and I want to come to peace, manage thing in a more harmonic way.”
Complete
“It is complete, this method. I get happy and alert.”
Exhaustion and stress
“I’ve been abroad for a while, happy to be back here again. This has been a luxury weekend, not especially comfortable but very good mentally and physically. I needed this. Qigong helps me against exhaustion and stress.”
Empty shell
“It is 12 years ago that I attended my first weekend course, I was 29 years old and an empty shell back then. Today I have a family and I continue to practise to get even better.”
Kindness
“Thank you for a nice course, one gets so much kindness here.”
Gratitude
“I also want to say thank you, lovely. I have practised for a long time but not in many years. It has been so lovely to practise with all of you young, old friends. I feel filled with love and gratitude.”
