Our training groups in Nybro and Kalmar and have been active for many years now, with group training every week at both locations and with a steady flow of beginners attending the basic courses. Also the Hold Qi Up 2 course, which we arranged in Nybro the last weekend in March, had many participants who joined the course for the first time. Several expressed that the course helped them to achieve a better understanding about Zhineng Qigong.
From the participants comments:
Calm
“I feel very calm when I practice, qigong has helped me a lot.”
Sensory in the leg back to normal
“I have received much help from qigong, the latest news is that my leg has healed. I have had surgery many times, the last time was over ten years ago and after that I have not had any sensory in my leg. After the summer course some sensory came back and now it’s back to normal!”
Burned out
“I have practiced qigong for 5 years; I was burned out with many different symptoms, migraine, among others. When I started training, I became better and better. Now I’ve forgotten how it was to be so sick, it’s when you hear others tell their stories you remember. Oh, I use to have those problems as well…”
More energy
“I have joined one basic course before; I have tried to practice every day since then. It has given me more energy. I think the mental part of qigong is very exciting.”
Help to heal grief
“I´ve joined two basic courses before. When I attended my first course my husband had just passed away. The training helps me to heal the grief. It is a way to focus.”
Migraine
“I have problems with migraines and pain in the neck and the training is a good help, now the migraine is almost completely gone.”
Joy
“I think its fun to practice, there is joy of life.”
Nervousness, Constant tension in a muscle
“Practicing qigong helps me when I’m performing. I am a pianist and former nervousness could get me very excited on the stage so much that I lost control. Qigong allows me to get the same energy on stage but with control. When I started to practice I had problems with one leg, doctors found a constant tension in a muscle. After the summer course this completely disappeared.”
Pain, Stroke, Diabetes
“I have trained long and joined many courses. I did not feel that I had any direct health problems when I began to practice, but understand that I’m much healthier now. I no longer have pain in the neck and shoulders, my joints do not hurt, my old football injury in my knee is gone, I’m calmer. A while ago I had a stroke, I keept calm and practiced in the doctors waiting room and everything went very well. I also have diabetes which do not affect me much, and I think I have the training to thank for that. I’m feel fine! The practice feels good and is a helpful tool. I will join the summer course again this year!
Pregnant despite genetic defect
“As you can see I’ll soon have a baby. It has not been easy, I have had several miscarriages and the doctors have discovered a genetic defect. Since I have a perfectly healthy son, they could not say that I cannot have children … now I’m expecting another son and he has no genetic defects as well. I became pregnant after the summer course. Despite my earlier bad experiences, I have felt calm and confident throughout the pregnancy. I know that practicing qigong helps me, and I have matured emotionally.”
