Depression

Fear and depression had arisen in Kristen during the pandemic. The 8.5-Day Health and Happiness Retreat eliminated them and gave her renewed optimism and gratitude. She felt that the compassionate messages, regular meditation and energy healing in the class increased her vital energy. The stretching and aerobics before class increased the warmth in her usually cold body. Daily energy healing enabled a straightening of the spine so that she was able to sit upright comfortably during seated meditation. She was thankful to have had this chance to focus on her health and well-being. Things that were worrying her before class no longer seemed important after class. She is looking forward to the future and to continuing her practice.

A recent visit to her country reminded Cristina of the benefit of attending the 8.5-Day Health & Happiness Retreat. The advent of the pandemic during her visit stranded her alone for eight months. Already depressed and in pain, this affected her deeply. Fortunately, she had a CD of Grandmaster JinBodhi’s chanting. By chanting and prostrating every day, she managed her depression and pain until she could return to the U.S. Her first thought was to take an 8.5-Day Health & Happiness Retreat because of past positive results. As a result of the Retreat, she experienced leg and hip pain relief and recovery from depression. She is thankful for the stress relief and flexibility that she received. She is happy!

Due to post-surgery effect, for the past six months, Kitty felt pain whenever she moved her left hand. She couldn't raise her hand. She couldn't reach her back. Because of the surgery and radiation therapy, she was also depressed and had no energy to do anything at home. After participating in the 8.5-Day Health and Happiness Retreat, she had no more post-surgery sequelae, she could move her left hand without any pain, her mood improved, and she finally returned to her happy and active lifestyle.

Escalating complications stemming from gastritis, limited relief from medications, and a surgery that provided little improvement, caused Rosalinda’s health to continue to deteriorate. With help from a friend, Rosalinda learned about Bodhi Meditation. While attending the Health and Happiness Retreat, Rosalinda began to feel a release from the stress her illness had caused. With consistent practice of The Meditation of Greater Illumination and Energy Bagua, her mental and physical health steadily improved. Rosalinda is now enjoying life with more confidence and joy.
