<\/p>\nA little more than 30 persons lined up in Stockholm to learn and practice Shenxin Qigong and a little Snake arm. Their interest and will to practice was great, a lot of persons got a strong feeling of Qi and enjoyed tea and cookies during the breaks. Below follows a selection of the participants’ comments during the course.<\/p>\n
“The tension in my neck is all gone and my back and chest feels much better. I feel good! I felt so tensed before; now all I want to do is stand here. I feel happy and optimistic.”<\/p>\n
“My grandchild that is 16 years of age said these words to me a couple of weeks ago: ‘Grandma, I will start practicing Qigong when I get old since I believe that it will keep me young too.’ “<\/p>\n
“I agree on that, since people tell me that I get younger and younger. And I really feel younger then when I started about 10 years ago. I suddenly remembered that my knee did hurt a lot when I came here on Saturday morning, I had been sleeping in an awkward position. By the time we squatted today I had forgotten all about this and I was able to get way down, lower than I usually can. So my knee recovered!”<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
“It feels nice to be here and to get some help. When I’m training at home I sometimes get a little sloppy and things that I’m actually able to do, becomes imperfect.”<\/p>\n
“I think that snake arm is a very comfortable exercise. It took me a while to get the hang of it, but it is great fun and gives you strong Qi.”<\/p>\n
“A lot of things happened in my feet, joints and shoulders. It feels great!”<\/p>\n
“One of the most important benefits from joining a weekend course is that my small amount of training at home feels much easier.”<\/p>\n
“I can feel a big difference in my shoulders. About three years ago I woke up one day and the left side of my body was paralyzed. After I started Qigong this autumn I have seen a lot of improvements.”<\/p>\n
“My lower body usually feels like a hard package, but now it actually feels good. I feel softer and warmer in my lower back and legs.”<\/p>\n
“I am retired and have stopped working. In my situation it is normal and I even had expectations that I would sleep longer in the mornings \u2013 it’s something you’ve longed for during your whole life! It didn’t work out at all for me; I tried to sleep longer in the mornings but I felt very bad. Now I set my watch and get up at 05:30 in the morning to practice Qigong every day. I’ve been doing this for about half a year now and it works very well. The morning training gives me a good start and works well for me, but getting out of bed isn’t easy. I got a tip from a friend concerning this: Decide in the evening that you will get up in the morning. It works for me.”<\/p>\n
“I also practice in the mornings as soon as I wake up. Otherwise I easily forget to do it. I noticed another thing too. A lot of people in my age complain about stiffness. I get so surprised every time I hear this as I have no such problems.”<\/p>\n
“Snake arm has been a challenge for me. It has been difficult for me to coordinate my arms; I’ve only been able to think about one arm at the time. But it was incredibly powerful when we practiced it during this course.”<\/p>\n
“I have practiced Qigong since many years and I particularly enjoy varying my exercises. It feels very good to be able to pick some of the different exercises depending on how much time I have. Apart from that I’m very surprised that it still feels so strong at this course, I almost fainted…”<\/p>\n
“Snake arm is a very nice exercise. The threshold for starting to practice is really small as a very short amount of practicetime gives you so much. When you start to practice snake arm it feels so good that you usually keep practicing for a longer time then you set out to do.”<\/p>\n
“I’ve had some problems with one of my lungs. When I practice at the courses I feel nothing of it but between courses I sometimes feel it. A couple of years ago that would have troubled me, but now I have so many other good things to focus on and to do. The mental improvement is what I enjoy the most.”<\/p>\n
