I suffered severe pain in my body, inflammation and strong fatigue. Since then I have gradually improved. By practising Zhineng Qigong I have strengthened myself both mentally and physically.<\/p>\n<p><h3>Stronger leg muscles<\/h3>\n<p> My legs are stronger. A few years ago I had to lie down a lot of the time on mattresses in the training hall when I was on the summer course. I needed help getting down on the mattress and to get up again. In order to even manage that, I had to have two mattresses stacked on top of each other. If there was no one around when I wanted to get up, I had to sit on the mattress and wait for someone to see me and pull me up from there. Suddenly, a couple of years ago, I noticed that I could get down on the mattress by myself. Then I noticed that I could get up myself. Today I manage with with just a blanket on the floor. I feel such a joy in being able to get down on the floor by myself. Before, when I was out walking, I used to think that if I fall now, I will not be able to get back up. I could only hope that there would be a branch or a tree that I could grab. It is so amazing and such a great freedom to be able to get off the ground without assistance.<\/p>\n<p><h3>Mentally more mature<\/h3>\n<p> I feel that I have, with the help of qigong, enhanced my positive way of looking at life. I also feel that my relationship with my children has been strengthened. I feel I have matured mentally and I get wiser. I think my morality has improved as well, although it may sound a bit boring, but I think I better know what is right and wrong.<\/p>\n<p>I can highly recommend Zhineng Qigong and especially the summer course. It&#8217;s so wonderful to join the summer course every year and meet all these amazing people, all old and new friends. It&#8217;s such a wonderful community.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Elisabet<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/stu-training-70-70.jpg\" alt=\"Elisabet is doing better despite her rheumatism\" style=\"border: 0; float: left;\" \/>Elisabet suffers from severe rheumatism and the complications after a serious whiplash injury.
