<\/p>\nI didn’t start to practice Qigong because of any health problem. Instead I was looking for a method to practice both physically and mentally. I had already tried many different things before, e.g. aerobics, dancing, yoga and meditation.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
In 1998 I attended my first drop-in training. For some years I practiced every now and then. In 2004 I joined the summer course for the first time. The summer course gives you a deeper understanding of Qigong. That’s where you crack the code.<\/p>\n
Zhineng Qigong has influenced me in many ways. It’s fascinating that practising Qigong gives me so much even though I don’t have any special problems. The improvements come gradually, from year to year. Even things that I never thought of or expected improve.<\/p>\n
My body is much softer and more flexible. I stand and I walk more straight. My standing posture is completely different. I’ve also noted that my ability to concentrate is much better. Nowadays I can sit on the tram reading books without being disturbed by things around me. I haven’t been able to do so since I was a child. Now I can keep my focus without having to look around me to see everything that happens.<\/p>\n
I was quite calm also before I joined Zhineng Qigong but now I’m even calmer. I also feel that I’m more energetic and that my mind is clearer. Instead of having my attention on problems I focus more on the solution. It’s also easier for me to socialise with other people. I’m more open.<\/p>\n
Qigong is a great method to try to keep healthy and to prevent problems. The time I spend practising will benefit me later.<\/p>\n
For me Zhineng Qigong is fantastic. It’s a simple tool that you can always use. Even though I don’t have any diseases or problems the training gives me so much. This I did not expect!<\/p>\n

Even though Marie didn’t have any special problems when she started to practice, she gets a lot from Zhineng Qigong. She is calmer, her ability to concentrate has increased and she can better socialise with other people.<\/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-22194","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\/22194","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=22194"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/zhinengqigong.eu\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/22194\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":23176,"href":"https:\/\/zhinengqigong.eu\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/22194\/revisions\/23176"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/zhinengqigong.eu\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=22194"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/zhinengqigong.eu\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=22194"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/zhinengqigong.eu\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=22194"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
