The lecture for our second course in Salo was well attended. Those who gathered at one of the city’s cozy cafes to familiarise themselves with Zhineng Qigong, were very interested to hear about our simple and natural method to improve their quality of life. One of the local newspapers, Salonjokilaakso, had sent a reporter to the lecture. She told us that they had had a lively discussion in the office on who would get to go to the lecture. The article is available here<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Although our activities in Finland are still mainly in Swedish, we have already managed to arrange a number of courses in Finnish. The opportunity to learn Zhineng Qigong in Finnish is appreciated not only by our new participants. Several of our bilingual repeating participants, who have taken courses in Swedish, say that they get a different understanding of the method when they are instructed in their mother tongue.<\/p>\n

\"Salo<\/p>\n

The course weekend in Salo was appreciated also this time. The participants could report good results already during the weekend. The friendly and pleasant atmosphere was particularly appreciated, and we got to share many a hearty laughter. Below is a selection of the participants’ own comments.<\/p>\n

The method effectively opens up the shoulder area<\/h3>\n

“The course was nice. The method has good physical movements. In my profession I treat others and I find that this method effectively opens up the shoulder area. When I came to the course, I had pain in my right hand, but it has disappeared now. My mobility has improved. I feel calm and happy. The atmosphere here is great.”<\/p>\n

Muscles have grown, tendonitis and tinnitus disappeared<\/h3>\n

“I have a muscle disease and I have also been in an accident that led to problems standing up and pain in my lower back. After I started practising Zhineng Qigong a few years ago, many good things have happened. My muscles have grown. The feeling in my body is returning. My legs are clearly much better. My digestion has improved, my tinnitus has disappeared and my tendonitis has healed. I recently visited the market and could walk around there for three hours without getting a sore back.”<\/p>\n

No more physical therapy<\/h3>\n

“On my first summer course last year, the frozen shoulder that I have long suffered from healed completely l and my neck pain diminished. I have not needed physical therapy after the course. In the summer course, I also had help with the problems I had with the dryness of the mucous membranes of my eyes and mouth.”<\/p>\n

Inner peace<\/h3>\n

“I felt very stressed coming to the course, but this afternoon I suddenly felt an inner calm.”<\/p>\n

Increased body awareness<\/h3>\n

“Some time ago, I resigned from my last job and now I have a new workplace. Very positive things have happened in my body and now I have much better body awareness. Qigong is important to me, because here I have found a group that I can feel a part of.”<\/p>\n

A feeling of lightness<\/h3>\n

“I feel lighter now. The pain that I had in my shoulder has been reduced. This course was a great experience.”<\/p>\n
