Benefits of Energy Bagua Elementary Class: Cervical stiffness that troubled me for 8 years is healed
Since 2014, the left side of my neck, shoulders, scapula, and the entire area of my back has been stiff and numb, causing great discomfort. I went to see doctors and had X-ray examinations. The doctors said that the area of my cervical vertebrae had aged. Normally, it should have elasticity, but due to aging, the left side of my cervical vertebrae had become straighter.
I underwent physical therapy, which provided temporary relief but had no lasting effect. Later, the doctors gave me injections, which provided temporary relief as well, but the problem persisted. I found no long-lasting effective treatment. It caused me a lot of distress.
When I drove, my arm would often feel tired and sore. Sometimes I could only use one hand to hold the steering wheel, which made me feel unsafe. Due to the stiffness in my left neck and back, sleeping was uncomfortable and slightly painful as my back touched the mattress. I could only lie flat because turning over would worsen the discomfort. So, I had to maintain a flat posture throughout the night, which greatly affected my sleep. During these 7-8 years, I sought both traditional Chinese and Western treatments, but none of them offered a cure. I thought I would have to live with this condition for the rest of my life.
In November 2022, I attended the Energy Bagua Elementary Class. On the first day, when I returned home, my arms still felt tired and numb. But on the first night, when I lay down to sleep, I felt much lighter on my back. I thought to myself, “Did it work so quickly?” Nevertheless, I was happy in my heart. The discomfort and numbness in my neck gradually diminished each day. On the 7th day of the course, the cervical aging issue that had troubled me for over 8 years was already 70% resolved. I could sleep on my side and turn over comfortably. I persisted for 100 days, and now my cervical degeneration has recovered. The pain and soreness in my arms have disappeared, and my stiff back feels relaxed and comfortable. I am extremely grateful for Grandmaster JinBodhi’s Energy Bagua, as it is truly amazing!
Benefits of Health and Happiness Retreat: Healed Rheumatoid Arthritis in the Heels
I also have rheumatoid arthritis. Every morning, as I got out of bed and started walking, I felt stiffness around the edges of both heels. Walking was uncomfortable, and I felt like a robot. I had to walk for a while for the discomfort to subside.
I went to see a doctor. The doctor diagnosed it as rheumatoid arthritis. I asked the doctor how I could cure it, but he said there was no way to treat it as it was joint degeneration. The only thing I could do was to do stretching exercises for the soles of my feet before getting out of bed every morning. Only by making them slightly more flexible could I walk comfortably. However, the edges of my heels remained stiff, and I had to walk back and forth several times to relieve the discomfort. This troubled me a lot, and I couldn’t find a permanent solution in either traditional Chinese or Western medicine.
Grandmaster said that all illnesses are due to insufficient Qi (energy). I decided to join the Health & Happiness Retreat at the Meditation Center. On the fourth morning of the class, I stretched the soles of my feet as usual before getting out of bed and walked stiffly. After a few steps, I realized that the stiffness in my heels had disappeared, and I could walk freely without any stiffness. I couldn’t believe it and walked back and forth in the bedroom several times. It was true—I didn’t feel any stiffness at all. I was overjoyed.
On the fifth morning of the class, when I woke up, I thought, “Today, I won’t do the stretching exercise for the soles of my feet and directly get out of bed to test it.” The edges of my heels were no longer stiff, and I could walk freely and comfortably. To this day, I no longer feel any discomfort. I am so delighted! Gratitude to Grandmaster JinBodhi!
Harmonious Family Relationships
Not only have I gained good health, but my family relationships have also become harmonious. Due to the pandemic, we have been confined at home and spending more time together. This has led to more conflicts. The atmosphere at home became tense.
After joining the Health & Happiness Retreat, Grandmaster’s teachings transformed my mindset. Suddenly, my mood improved, and I became cheerful and lively. With a change in mindset, my attitude also changed. When my family saw me happy and calm every day, they also became happy. Our home has become more harmonious. Bodhi Meditation has brought both physical and mental health to me. I am deeply grateful to Grandmaster JinBodhi!
