Then I suffered from severe migraines and also I had other problems such as back pain. The healing process has been gradual. A major change took place last summer during the summer course. After the winter course, the migraine attacks ceased almost completely, and because of this, it is as if I&#8217;ve got a whole new life.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><h3>Pain relieved<\/h3>\n<p> &#8220;I have five chronic diseases. Right now I feel no pain, and I hope that this method will help me.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Thanks again for the course. I have joined a number of basic courses. I like this method and it has helped me with my pain and my back problems.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><h3>Migraine subsided during the course<\/h3>\n<p> &#8220;I came to the course because I have suffered from stress, pain in my back and neck and migraines in recent years. Because of these problems I have been on sick leave. Last night I had a severe migraine attack at home, but today I have been able to practise all day and the pain has gradually subsided, although I did not take any medication in the morning.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><h3>A holistic approach<\/h3>\n<p> &#8220;I have been practising qigong for many years and it has helped me in a holistic way: for example, I have better posture, my resistance has increased and I am calmer.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/stu-turku-v2012.jpg\" alt=\"\u00c5bo 120422\"><\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I have practised qigong for about six years and have had lots of help. It&#8217;s like a solid foundation upon which I can stand.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I have practised qigong for over 10 years, and I do not know where I would be without it.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Qigong has helped me with my back problems and the method has become a part of my life. I can practise it anywhere and that makes me feel safe. I know it helps me.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><h3>Like an elixir of life<\/h3>\n<p> &#8220;It has been a great course. This spring I have not been able to practise with the qigong group as often as I would like and I have been tired. The feeling right now is like a dry plant that gets water, &#8216;elixir of life&#8217;.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><h3>Improved shoulders and neck<\/h3>\n<p> &#8220;I notice in my shoulders and my neck that they feel better than before.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><h3>Arm feels better<\/h3>\n<p> &#8220;It has been a very good course. My life is happy, but my body is heavy. I have especially had problems with my right arm, in which I regularly receive cortisone shots and I have to take pain medication. It has felt &#8220;thicker&#8221; than the other side. Now it feels like it&#8217;s the same size as the left arm and, to my surprise, I have been able to do all the arm movements during the course. I hope that this method will become part of my life. I have enjoyed the good teaching and the lovely atmosphere of the course.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.zhinengqigong.fi\/index.php\/fi\/kurssit\/aikaisempien-kurssien-tuloksia\/412-peruskurssi-kohota-qi-turussa-21-2242012.html\">Course report in Finnish \/ Suomenkielinen kurssiraportti<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Teacher:<\/p>\n<p><strong>Jeanette Heidenberg<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In beautiful spring weather we held a basic course in Hold Qi Up in Turku on 21-22 April.
