There it was stated that I suffer from COPD. COPD can&#8217;t be cured even though asthma medication can help a bit. It&#8217;s hard for me to exert myself physically, for instance walking up a flight of stairs or carrying heavy things.<\/p>\n<p><h3>A course in Zhineng Qigong <\/h3>\n<p> I joined the Heart and Lung Association, an exercise group for COPD-patients and I also went to a gym to try to feel better. Last autumn 2010, shortly after I had joined the association they, arranged a course in Zhineng Qigong. I attended two basic courses and I immediately felt that it was something for me. There was a difference between practising qigong, and doing exercises or going to a gym. So I&#8217;ve continued to practise.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/stu-inger-sthlm-stor.jpg\" align=\"left\" alt=\"Inger breathes better even though she suffers from COPD\" > <\/p>\n<h3>Better standing posture and charisma <\/h3>\n<p> Now, at the summer course, one of the teachers noticed that my standing posture has improved. He thought that my charisma was great and I felt the same. Something has opened up. I breathe much better and I feel different. My balance has improved as well.<\/p>\n<p><h3>Fun to practise<\/h3>\n<p> A lot has happened mentally. I&#8217;m calm and peaceful. I really enjoy practising. I&#8217;m going to keep on practising qigong. The training has given me so much already. I feel that I got a tool that I can use no matter where I am.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Inger Wisenfelt<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/stu-inger-sthlm-liten.jpg\" alt=\"Inger breathes better even though she suffers from COPD\" style=\"border: 0; float: left;\" \/>Zhineng Qigong has improved Inger&#8217;s breathing even though she suffers from COPD.
