Five years ago I saw a poster about the summer course in Zhineng Qigong. I got some more information about the course, but I thought that it was too expensive for me.<\/p>\n
During the last 30 years I’ve been working at a home for elderly people. This last year I became totally exhausted. As early as in May I applied for a vacation. The three last days at work I couldn’t even walk. My upper thigh was very painful and I had to use crutches for several weeks. I couldn’t use my car for three months. The doctors gave me medicines but nothing worked. In the end they said that my hip was totally worn out. I didn’t get better. It wasn’t possible for me to go for long walks any longer, even though I loved to walk and to go skiing. Others with similar problems said that an operation was the only option.<\/p>\n
But I didn’t want that. I wanted to do something else. It was time for me to try Zhineng Qigong. I started with a basic course and four years ago I went to my first summer course. After the first day at the summer course I didn’t expect to be able to walk to the training hall. I could only stand on my leg for short periods of time because of the pain. But the morning after the pain was gone.<\/p>\n

The course was hard, but when I came back home I noticed marked improvements. The painful ache I had had earlier was gone. I was walking with my husband to a caf\u00e9 when he said “You don’t limp at all now”. It means a lot to my quality of life to be able to walk outside with my dog every day.<\/p>\n
After the summer course I was going to visit my father. Halfway there I had to stop and remove my glasses because they didn’t work for me anymore. I went back to my optician and told him my glasses weren’t strong enough. When he checked my vision again, he found the opposite. My glasses were to strong.<\/p>\n
Before the course I used to go to the toilet every night. Now I noticed that I didn’t have to do that anymore. In addition I now could sleep all night.<\/p>\n
When I was at home and sick depression closed in on me. It really bothered me that I couldn’t go outside or drive a car. Now my mental state is much better. When I practice regularly I can perceive smells and hear sounds that I don’t usually notice. I feel really strong.<\/p>\n
In winter time, because of a snake bite, one of my hands gets white because of bad circulation. During a training session I got pain in the hand. Then the pain disappeared and since that my hands hasn’t turned white.<\/p>\n
During two years I’ve had a wart. It was getting big and started to hurt when walking. Last summer when I sat on the floor and touched my foot and I discovered that the wart was completely gone.<\/p>\n
It feels like Qigong has gone through my whole body and taken all my problems away.<\/p>\n

Anita didn’t need to operate her worn out hip. She has also got a better blood circulation, is mentally stronger and her vision has improved.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[12],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-22188","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-my-story","generate-columns","tablet-grid-50","mobile-grid-100","grid-parent","grid-50"],"acf":[],"featured_image_src":null,"featured_image_src_square":null,"author_info":{"display_name":"Jonny Eliasson","author_link":"https:\/\/zhinengqigong.eu\/en\/author\/jonny\/"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/zhinengqigong.eu\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/22188","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/zhinengqigong.eu\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/zhinengqigong.eu\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/zhinengqigong.eu\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/zhinengqigong.eu\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=22188"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/zhinengqigong.eu\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/22188\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":23170,"href":"https:\/\/zhinengqigong.eu\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/22188\/revisions\/23170"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/zhinengqigong.eu\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=22188"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/zhinengqigong.eu\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=22188"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/zhinengqigong.eu\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=22188"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
