Despite the wet snow in heaps outside all registered participants and a few more came to the Museum of Eastern Arts and its beautiful auditorium where the course was held. It was a little cramped in the room but that did not affect us, the strong qi-field and the good atmosphere dominated.<\/p>\n<p>All beginners struggled on and learned quickly, especially with the good help of our more experienced students. A novice with a diagnosis of fibromyalgia sent us a long mail the day after the course and thanked for the course. Here is some of what she wrote: &#8220;I thought I would be even more tired when I got home on Sunday &#8211; BUT &#8211; imagine my surprise when I got home at 19 o&#8217;clock on Sunday, I was so filled with energy that I can not remember the last time I felt so energized, I felt euphoric! Total full of happiness and energy, I hardly knew how to express it! My family almost laughed at me and asked me if I have taken any &#8220;pills&#8221;! this is really wonderful! This whole day I think that i have been walking around with a little &#8220;goofy&#8221; smile on my face and I still feel a quite different energy in the body! And I&#8217;ve even felt a little less pain in my hips, less than I usually have, it feels like my (wonderful) life has finally begun! I think I have &#8220;come home&#8221;!! So once again THANK YOU!&#8221;<\/p>\n<h3>From the partcipants comments<\/h3>\n<h3>Energy<\/h3>\n<p>&#8220;Thanks for all the energy I have gotten here.&#8221;<\/p>\n<h3>Understand more<\/h3>\n<p>&#8220;Now it&#8217;s the second time I go weekend course and now things are clearer for me. These days have been great. There are so many things that I have picked up this time.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;For me the summer course was like turning a corner, after the course I understood so much more of what Qigong is and what it can give me. I felt how good it makes me feel. I&#8217;ve learned a lot during this course, I wondered how I could miss so much last the course. I can close my eyes slowly now for the first time.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/stu-sthlm-120415-350.jpg\" alt=\"Stockholm 120415\" \/><\/p>\n<h3>Calmer, mentally better<\/h3>\n<p>&#8220;I&#8217;ve trained more actively in a year and a half. It is easier for me not become irritated. I have a greater calm. Big ambitions, maybe I will join the summer course.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The course feels much better than I expected. I makes me calm and it feels really good now at the end of the course.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>This is a fantastic tool. When I started training many years ago and I had major back problems, but I can say that it is not just my back that has gotten better, I&#8217;m also mentally stronger. I feel so calm and content. I really like the group training training, they make me so relaxed, I highly recommend them.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I have been training for 6 years and I&#8217;ve got lots of results many physical, but what I think is the most important are the mental improvements. I can handle life easier and better. Demands does not feel so heavy anymore, I will not be as easily pulled in by what happens around me, I&#8217;m not so easily irritated and I can handle my job and stress much easier. I will continue to practice.&#8221;<\/p>\n<h3>Physical improvements<\/h3>\n<p>&#8220;I have improved physically, my life before with many colds, sinus infections, urinary tract infections, etc. I have almost forgotten all of it now.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Before I started training I had such severe pain I was bedridden. Making them even the smallest things in life was a huge challenge. Some examples of that was that I could not even cut the bread and had to buy machine cut bread, taking a shower was a huge challenge because of the pain. The doctors discovered that my organs started to shut down and I had been on sick leave for a whole year. But after I started training, I&#8217;ve lost a lot of pain.&#8221;<\/p>\n<h3>Softer, better concentration<\/h3>\n<p>&#8220;When I started training, I was very stiff and I really had to fight my way through the movements, but I quickly became softer, and I could walk differently. I have also had better concentration and I am no longer so quiet. In my experience, because I was so stiff in the beginning, it helps the movement even if you do not manage to do them so well, if not I had not become so much better in the beginning.&#8221;<\/p>\n<h3>Less Pain<\/h3>\n<p>&#8220;I&#8217;ve been training since February 2010. I have had trouble with my back since my child were born. After I started practice qigong, I gave birth to a second child. My back problems are not gone, but i have a lot less pain. I can move in a different way now. It is important to continue with the group training on Wednesdays.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;When I started, I had chronic pain in the shoulders and neck because I had spent so much in front of the computer. I have been training for 3 years now and I feel so much better. It was after my first summer course that much of this happened. Now I&#8217;m not bothered by the pain anymore.&#8221;<\/p>\n<h3>Rheumatism<\/h3>\n<p>&#8220;I&#8217;ve trained for eight years. I have rheumatism and thought that this training could probably be like soft gymnastics that could help me. Although I have the help of physical exercise, it is mainly the mental that has been good for me. The training taught me to live with this body and I have basically been practicing every day since I started. I&#8217;ve been to all the summer courses, even though I first thought &#8220;why am I inside a gym when it is summer and nice outside.&#8221; But you can experience beautiful things even in there. I have learned to prioritize clearer today, can choose what I do not need in my life. Exercise is a great tool. Congratulations to all the new ones that found their way here.&#8221;<\/p>\n<h3>Summer<\/h3>\n<p>&#8220;The summer course is fantastic and I recommend people to go there.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Teacher:<\/p>\n<p><strong>Lars Hagner<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It was indeed April weather when we organized this spring&#8217;s second course in Hold qi up in Stockholm.
