The final weekend in August we arranged our first on-site course in Stockholm in about two years. Many of our loyal participants have longed for and requested physical courses, of which we have naturally had few during the pandemic.
The atmosphere on the course was very good. It was clear that the participants enjoyed attending the course. Those who have attended many of our courses had a very good mood which also raised the expectations of the beginners. During the breaks, people talked animatedly with each other. We saw many friendly smiles and heard many laughs.
The qi-field was very good during the course. It made the exercises easier to learn. For example, several of the participants got noticeably better posture during the course. With that, the performance of the exercises also improved. Several people were surprised when the training affected them. One participant could feel her qi begin to work inside her body to dissolve tension in her neck and shoulders. Several participants felt how the circulation in the entire body increased and that pain disappeared.
The course also produced good mental effects. The most obvious of these was perhaps noticed after the course. One of the participants used to get distressing mental images with strong negative feelings at bedtime. After the course, these troublesome images disappeared. Even when the person tried to evoke these images it was not as scary as it was before.
The joy of training was great, the joy of seeing training mates again was great, and we hope that many will continue their training – at home, in groups, and online – with increased energy and joy.
