On 8th July, 2023, New York Bodhi Meditation Center commenced yet another 7-Day Energy Bagua Elementary Class. In the class, students learn the meditation methods taught by Grandmaster JinBodhi through relaxed interactive styles.
Let us read on to find out what are some of the benefits experienced by the students.
Zheng Fangzhou
This is my first time participating in the Energy Bagua Elementary Class. I’ve had a heart condition for over 3 years. I often experience rapid heartbeats, weakness in my legs, and severe dizziness and headaches. On the first day, when I took the subway to class, I felt really tired just climbing the stairs. My hands even trembled.
After these few days of classes, my body has clearly improved. I feel much more energetic and my legs have regained strength. My sleep has also improved. Before attending class, I used to apply some medicine to my scalp to alleviate the dizziness. Now, I don’t need to use the medicine anymore. Every aspect of my health has improved. I am grateful for the Energy Bagua taught by Grandmaster JinBodhi.
Zhu Xiuyan
My friend Amy’s health improved significantly after practicing meditation. She encouraged me to learn Energy Bagua as well. Normally, I don’t enjoy walking. On the first day of class, I felt really tired. I thought to myself that maybe I shouldn’t come on the second day, but I still persevered and came. On the third day of the course, in the afternoon, I went to Chinatown wearing high heels. Unfortunately, I stumbled and fell. I thought it was over, that I wouldn’t be able to practice Energy Bagua tomorrow. Luckily, thanks to the blessing of Buddha’s power and the protection of Grandmaster, the next morning I woke up without feeling any pain. I was even able to come to class on time. During the course, I felt relaxed and happy when I returned home. I started smiling and fellow practitioners commented that my smile was beautiful. Grateful to Grandmaster!
Gladys Guzman
I have had severe rheumatoid arthritis since I was 30 years old. The doctors have prescribed more and more medications for me. The side effects of long-term medication have affected my kidney function. I have to get up 2-3 times during the night, and after each time, it’s difficult for me to fall back asleep.
After the 7-day course, I feel that Energy Bagua has been very helpful for my health. I now sense strength in my legs, a more relaxed mood, and improved sleep. Previously, after getting up at night, I had difficulty falling back asleep, but now I can fall asleep quickly. I’ve tried various methods for maintaining my health, and Energy Bagua has been the most effective in improving my health. I’m determined to practice every day. Grateful to Grandmaster JinBodhi!
Dat Surendra
I don’t have any other illnesses or pains in my body; I’m just very interested in meditation. I am quite sensitive to the sensation of energy, and I’ve noticed that the Meditation Center has a strong energy. Attending classes here, I feel a lot of energy every day. During the Energy Bagua practice, I’ve also noticed a significant improvement in my sense of balance.
Su Lunkai
My cousin introduced me to come here. I’ve had a problem with prostate enlargement, and I often need to get up to use the restroom 3-4 times at night. This has been going on for over 20 years. I also suffer from sciatic nerve pain due to the nature of my work, which involves lifting heavy objects. This has led to strain in my lower back muscles, and I often experience lower back pain. The doctor told me that if I want to be pain-free, I would need surgery, but even with surgery, there’s only a 50% chance of recovery. If the surgery isn’t successful, there’s a possibility of paralysis. The risks are too great, so I’ve decided to bear the pain. Due to the chronic lower back pain, my legs lack strength, and sometimes when I walk, my left foot occasionally kicks the ground. The doctor prescribed painkillers, but I rarely take them because I know the side effects of these medications are bad for my kidneys. I’m still taking medication to reduce nighttime urination, but it hasn’t been very effective.
Remarkably, on the first night of the Energy Bagua class, I only woke up once to use the restroom. From the second day onwards, I’ve been sleeping through the night without needing to get up, and I don’t need to take the medication for reducing nighttime urination anymore. The sciatic nerve pain that has troubled me for many years has miraculously improved, and my lower back is no longer in pain. The effects of Energy Bagua are truly incredible. If it weren’t for my personal experience, I wouldn’t believe it. I am committed to continuing with the practice of Energy Bagua. I’m grateful to my cousin for bringing me to the class, and I’ve also recommended this wonderful method to my friend. He has also enrolled in the August class, and I hope he benefits from it as well. Grateful to Grandmaster JinBodhi!
Zheng Yijie
I just finished the Health and Happiness Retreat and immediately joined this Energy Bagua Elementary Class. After practicing meditation, the soreness and stiffness all over my body have eased, and my back pain has also improved significantly. Before attending the meditation, my pain level was around 7-8, and even bending down to put on socks was problematic. I felt worse than someone in their seventies or eighties. I’ve been dealing with this pain for a long time. When the pain became unbearable, I would go for massages, acupuncture, and cupping, but these treatments only provided temporary relief. After a couple of days, the stiffness and pain would return.
My health issues have accumulated over a long period of time. I’ve been working in a restaurant for over 20 years, and my own lifestyle habits, including poor dietary habits, contributed to my health problems.
Now, I barely feel any pain in my lumbar spine, and the stiffness has significantly reduced. I feel light both physically and mentally, and my spirits have improved greatly. Grandmaster’s teachings made me reflect on myself anew. I want to change my wrong lifestyle habits, dietary habits, and persist in meditation, following Grandmaster’s guidance. I’ve set a goal to practice Energy Bagua for 100 days. I’m grateful to Grandmaster JinBodhi for helping me regain my health and giving me new life goals!
Xu Jinyi
After attending the Health and Happiness Retreat in June, I clearly felt that my overall vitality had improved significantly! I’ve been suffering from rheumatoid arthritis for over a decade, and the joints in my fingers have become swollen and stiff. My palms and fingers are often cold to the touch, and two of my fingers couldn’t straighten out. I’ve also tried acupuncture, but there were no significant results.
After completing the Energy Bagua course, I noticed that my palms and fingers had warmed up, and my finger flexibility had improved a lot. The two fingers that couldn’t straighten out before can now be extended, and I also feel more strength in my legs and feet. In just a short month at the Bodhi Meditation Center, I feel improvements in various aspects of my health. Both my body and mind have benefited greatly. I’m thrilled to have come to Bodhi Meditation and learned such a wonderful method for self-improvement and well-being. Grateful to Bodhi Meditation, and grateful to Grandmaster!
Traci Mark
When I visited my family in Toronto, I had the opportunity to experience Energy Bagua, and I quite enjoyed this meditation method. During the Energy Bagua course, I would attend class in the morning and go to work in the afternoon. I found that my ability to focus had improved, and I wasn’t as prone to random thoughts. My mind was clearer while working, and I even noticed that my mood had improved. In my work and daily life, I’ve been able to interact better with others, and my inner state has become more peaceful.
Zhao Binliang
I’ve known about Bodhi Meditation for a long time, and even before the pandemic, I followed fellow practitioners in practicing Energy Bagua. However, since I hadn’t attended classes, I didn’t fully grasp the essence of Energy Bagua. This time, by learning Energy Bagua and practicing under the guidance of the teachers and listening to Grandmaster’s teachings, I’ve gained a lot.
Firstly, I’ve come to understand the importance of proper movements, footwork, and mental focus. The techniques Grandmaster teaches are actually profound. In the past, I would just go through the motions without putting my heart into it. Now, I’m truly trying to comprehend and internalize Grandmaster’s teachings, and I feel that walking the Energy Bagua is a whole different experience.
After these few days of the course, I feel that my overall energy has improved significantly. Previously, as soon as I got home, I would want to lie down because I felt tired and lacked energy. However, on the second day of the course, I clearly felt more strength in my legs and feet. When I returned home, I didn’t need to take a nap, my energy was good, I had the energy to do some household chores, and my mood was positive. Grateful to Grandmaster!

I am very grateful to Sister Yayu for introducing me to Bodhi Meditation. During this course, I’ve experienced significant improvements in my health.
My nighttime urination frequency has reduced! Normally, I would get up to use the restroom 3 to 4 times every night, and this has been going on for more than 3 or 4 years. On the second day of the course, I only had to get up once during the night, which is a big improvement for me.
My sleep quality has improved! I’ve always had difficulty falling asleep, and coupled with the frequent nighttime urination, my sleep quality had become even worse. Previously, after getting up at around 1:30 AM, I would be in a semi-awake state until morning. During these days of the course, I only get up once during the night to use the restroom, and it’s much easier for me to fall back asleep.
I have more energy in my body! I’m someone who enjoys swimming. Every morning, I would go swimming, and the moment I entered the water was always uncomfortable because the pool water felt very cold. However, during these days, when I went swimming, I felt that the water had a warmer temperature. It’s possible that my energy has become stronger.
My posture has improved. Due to work, my shoulders had started to hunch forward, and this affected my posture. During the Energy Bagua, Grandmaster told us to keep our heads straight and shoulders parallel. These days, I’ve been consciously straightening my back when walking, and I feel that my posture has improved.
I’ve felt the power of love, and my heart has opened up! In the class, the teachers guided us to feel gratitude and cherish the people around us. Normally, the people close to us, especially our family, love us deeply, but due to various reasons, we often overlook this love. Therefore, during these days, I’ve been actively feeling love, opening my heart, and expressing love to my family. This has made me feel comfortable and warm inside.
Apart from observing the changes in myself, I’ve also noticed that every fellow practitioner around me has seen improvements in their complexion from the first day until now.
The intent of the testimonial is to offer wellness information of a general nature. Individual results of practice may vary.
