Hello,
I would like to share with everyone the wonderful benefits that I have received by practising Shaolin Chi Kung. In 1994 I injured my upper back and neck, I had protruding discs in my back and two fused in my neck. I was in constant pain for six years, which was only relieved each week for a day of two, by osteopathy and a cocktail of painkillers and anti-inflammatory drugs. The nagging never eased despite all of these and it felt (on a good day) like a lot of toothaches at the one time.
I was not able to work, so started reading quite a lot. I read many books on self healing and positive thinking and all seemed to mention Chi Kung. One day in a local bookshop, one book was sticking out more than the others and it was a book on Chi Kung, so I bought it. I didn't actually read it straight away, it was some months later. The book was 'Chi kung for health and vitality' by Wong Kiew Kit, he seemed so convincing and caring that I wanted to contact him right away. There wasn't any website mentioned in his book, so I looked in search engines and found his site. To cut a long story short, Sifu was holding an Intensive Chi Kung course five weeks later. I suppose I did the most unusual thing that I have ever done, I signed up for the course in Malaysia and when I told my family, they all thought that I was mad.!!!( That is putting it mildly)!!. I know that Dan is well used to travelling but for the previous six years Cork city was as far as I had gone.!! So this was quiet a surprise to everyone. Every night on going to bed, I used to ask God if I was doing the right thing and this feeling of complete peace used to wash over me, this convinced me( although I didn't need much convincing)! and off I went in Jan. 2000.
Malaysia was a brilliant experience, and even though I didn't feel great, the course was excellent. Sifu was so happy, caring and approachable. He explained everything so easily, that I had no trouble remembering when I arrived home. Anyway I practiced the Chi Kung patterns and after eight months the pain was completely gone. Straight after starting, I was having more good times than bad, although I did have some very painful weeks while the energy was clearing, but it was a different type of pain. I am now perfect and have never felt better. I owe it all to Sifu for his generosity and love of people in sharing Shaolin Chi Kung with me. I have seen the results in other people here who practise also, the contentment, relaxation, happiness and relief or cure of a long term illness. For me the 'Chi Flow' is such a feeling of freedom, bliss and timelessness that I never want it to end. Thank you Sifu, my back injury was a blessing in disguise.
Joan.
