Below are some participants comments:<\/p>\n<h3>Internal strength<\/h3>\n<p>&#8220;I have practiced for a fairly long time and achieved many good results. I have got rid of one depression and with a liver disease that usually tend to persist. My power of concentration has improved. I have noticed that by practicing I have become calmer and more relaxed and that is how I would like to feel. Qigong gives me strength to improve my ability to control my life.&#8221;<\/p>\n<h3>Keep the depression away<\/h3>\n<p>&#8220;I wonder how my life would look like without qigong. My body was in a very poor condition both externally and internally when I in 2005 started to practice qigong. A injured shoulder was cured, the stiffness and inflexibility in my body disappeared and I got help to survive after severe grief. Now I am able to maintain my mental balance, keep peace in my mind and feel happiness by practising regularely.&#8221;<\/p>\n<h3>I discover continuous improvements in my body<\/h3>\n<p>&#8220;I have practiced since 2009. I suffer from myopathy and I also got a brain damage in a traffic accident. According to my diagnosis I should now be dying and using a respirator. I practice daily about two hours every day. My muscles have started to develop and the stability in my legs is improving. I notice continuous improvements in my body. I am not scared any longer and I sleep well. I know that my body is slowly being getting better. Training is good.&#8221;<\/p>\n<h3>Shoulder in good shape, Internal calm<\/h3>\n<p>&#8220;I started to practice qigong about 5 years ago. I was suffering from a chronic intestinal inflammation that got worsen due to stress. I also suffered from worn out and aching shoulders. The shoulder pain has disappeared. I feel more relaxed and can handle stress better. My internal calm has improved due to qigong.&#8221;<\/p>\n<h3>Day two \u2013 no head ache<\/h3>\n<p>&#8220;This is my first course. I have during the last five or six years suffered from migraine every day. Because of this I have started to feel depressed. My mother is practicing qigong. Although I was skeptical about qigong and felt that the movements look silly I still wanted to test it. Yesterday I was feeling bad, but today I have not suffered from head aches at all.&#8221;<\/p>\n<h3>Valuable repetition<\/h3>\n<p>&#8220;I started to practice qigong in 2011. Since then I have participated in several weekend courses and one LUQ2. After a weekend course it is easier for me to keep up my training at home. I sleep better and I can sleep less. I am not so irritated at work and can manage stress better. My colleagues looks more tired than me. During this course I have paid attention to many details that I either had forgotten or not noticed at all earlier.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I participated in August this year in my first week end course in Hang\u00f6. After the course I started to practice actively at home. Now I have been a little lazy. I joined this course to get inspiration to start regular training again.&#8221;<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/hfrs-hst-2013.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/><\/p>\n<h3>One solution for all my problems<\/h3>\n<p>&#8220;I started to practice qigong six of seven years ago. At that time I was feeling awful. One of my arms was not functioning at all due to an unsuccessful tetanus vaccination and my whole body felt stiff. I read about a weekend course in the newspaper and decided to test if qigong could offer a solution to my problems. After three months my arm was well and the stiffness in my body disappeared. I have to practice immediately when I get up in the morning because otherwise I have difficulties to find the time. I am very happy for this weekend course.&#8221;<\/p>\n<h3>Tired and happy<\/h3>\n<p>&#8220;This is my first course. I am really tired but happy! I can feel the impact of the movements in my bodys all levels. For me as a Finnish speaking person this course has been a real culture trip both to China and Sweden. Usually I am very talkative but during this course I have been rather silent. This feels strange. I have experienced many new and good things. &#8220;<\/p>\n<p>Teacher:<br \/><strong>Margareta Willner-R\u00f6nnholm<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Swedish course in Helsinki area was this autumn held in a 100 year old house in Grankulla with sun and autumn coloured leafs outside the windows.
