I attended the summer course in Sweden last summer and I learned so much. After attending this course I am very excited. I have a feeling of wellbeing and calm. I am a flapper, and I flap less now. For some time, I have put up with arm pain, it has now gone after today\u00b4s experience. Thank you for a joyful experience!<\/p>\n<p><strong>Not think too much, practise instead<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>\u201cI have done the basic courses since the begun in East Anglia. I haven\u00b4t made it to Sweden and summer course yet, but my intention is to go the coming summer. You can get out what you put into it and start feeling better when you start practise again. I don\u00b4t have to analyse my aches and pains, just do qigong.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt is extraordinary what you get out of it when you apply yourself.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThere are some things I can\u00b4t do, but I visualise them. I do qigong through thick and thin. By sticking with it and keep going you will get back more than you put into it. But you do have to put work into it to get changes.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>Qigong makes a huge difference to life<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>\u201cI have been practising for 9 years. I may miss practise a day or two, but qigong makes a huge difference to life. I am full of surprise by the effects of doing qigong, I love doing it and I love coming to the weekend for a course.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>Helps balance my energy<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>\u201cI heard about Zhineng qigong from a friend who has been on the summer course in Sweden. I feel different after the course in the way I experience myself and the world. I feel more a part of the energy that is going on. It has been a good experience. I am up and down in my energy; this helps balance my energy.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>Group practise is a big help<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>\u201cI love qigong, I love the way it combines body, mind and spirit. It is right up my street. Even when I am not doing it perfectly, I can do it perfectly in my mind. I am terrible undisciplined and am glad to be practising in a group. It is lovely to be among so many nice people.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>Pain in knee gone<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>\u201cMy aim in coming was to refresh my practise. Before doing a summer course I suffered badly in my knees especially my right knee pad. It was always uncomfortable with grinding in the joint. After the first summer course the pain was gone. I was impressed by this, I didn\u00b4t expect it. It was a relief to walk without a problem. I can run up and down stairs like a child now! I have tension in my chest and back and this has greatly improved.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>Qigong feels accessible<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>\u201cI like the way it has been taught, it is accessible. I have lots of long term physical problems. Today I feel there is a shift. I feel privileged to be here. It feels it has been intended just for me! I am looking forward to the next course in April next year.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis is my first course. I especially liked what we were told about starting from where we are at. I haven\u00b4t experienced this being spoken so clearly before. Even when movements are not done perfectly we can imagine doing them perfectly. I feel on an equal footing. Everyone has aches and pains. I like the ethos and am happy to put my toe on the first rung of the practise.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p><strong>Knee problems disappeared and I sleep like a baby<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>\u201cI have done 10 years of qigong practise. I fell in love and fully embraced it. As to results..I didn\u00b4t feel well for 2\/3 month when I first started practising, but I slept like a baby and my energy levels were good. Then my knee problems disappeared. I used to have fallen aches and was knock kneed, now I have arches and am better.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>Makes me calm<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>\u201cI went to my first course in February 2016. Since that weekend I have practised with the CD and in a practice group. I also went to the summer course in Sweden in June this year. I am physically quite fit, but am prone to lapses in self-discipline, neglecting my own practise. Hold qi up form is prefect for me. It helps me keep centred and calm and is proving invaluable when life gets stressful. I have appreciated reconnecting with the direct teaching and accessing greater insight about its simple power and though practising together as a focused group. \u201c<\/p>\n<p>Teacher:<\/p>\n<p><strong>Fatima Ringvall<\/strong><\/p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Basic course in Hold qi up in Huntingfield, Suffolk 12-13 November 2016 We arranged the course in the beautiful little village called Huntingfield in the county of Suffolk, at their beautiful village hall.
