  • I have Cured my Depression!

    Hello to all fellow Wahnam Brothers and Sisters, as well to all Instructor's and Si-gung Wong.

    It has been quite a journey, 4 years of practicing and studying and finally I am very much free of my self centered Depression!

    I can not give you any clinical diagnosis, as myself nor my parents could afford for me to go and see anyone to diagnose me or even to treat me. All I can say is that growing up I was always down in the dumps, I never accepted or acknowledged anything that even the experts in the school where trying to tell me. And those who have reached out to me, I blew off. I never even believed that I would do or be anything in life either.

    I suppose there was one hope, I have always had an interest in Kung Fu and Chi Kung after watching Kung Fu with David Carradine, that character would be a model and some what of a hope.

    Growing up in my Teens as well as in my Twenties I was always playing the part of someone else, carrying around so much dislike of myself, anger, lamentation, sorrow, and even a few times trying to commit suicide, I was in need of great help. As I pointed out my parents nor myself could afford it.

    My interest in the TV Show I suppose gave a hope that there was something out there for me that would help me with all that I was feeling and going through.

    I learned about Buddhism and Meditation, I began practicing and studying these on my own, of course that was not too smart a thing to do, but I had no teachers at that time. Though I never could fully understand Buddhism reading about it in many books, it did click with me and it did give me a deep impression that this (Religion for some) or teaching was something that agreed with me Notionally and with my Common Sense.

    I will not get into too much detail here. But later in August of 2007 I would find and meet with my own Teacher/Instructor Sifu Anthony Korahais, on that first Personal Instruction I would begin my journey toward better over all health.

    Now I no longer despair, fear, have lack of self esteem or have the lack of self confidence any more. And no more laspes back to that self centered state of feeling and emotions that I did have.

    Being Free of these things is a big sigh of relief. Never in my years growing up did I believe that I would make anything of myself, or do the things that I have achieved at this point. My Mind is clear! My Thoughts are clear! And I am free to live a life I never thought I could or would.

    I suppose the only dissappointment I have of myself is that it took this long.. In most of the years my practice was on and off after having moved away from the State Sifu Anthony is in.

    Now my pracitce is daily, and every day I "Smile from the Heart", and I am not feeling too gooshy saying that either .

    I now begin to wonder if finding this precious and well preserved art is the path and purpose in my life, or in other words that Karmically I am very lucky to have found. .

    In living so long with Depression and with all that anger, dislike, lamentation, sorrow, dispair, and fear, lets see if later on I will have a date for the very first time in my life. That will take some time though .

    I do have Si-gung Wong and Sifu Anthony to Thank for transmitting to me this art which has helped me a great deal. Also I will thank all here on the forums as well for all the help and things you all have taught me, it is much appreciated, and I have never been so grateful to be here to share with you all such a testimonial .

      Dear David,

      Thank you for sharing your wonderful and inspiring testimonial on overcoming depression. Congratulations

      Many people go through their whole life feeling as you did, never coming out of that angry and depressed state, never being able to realise their true self or full potential.

      Your words will be very inspiring for many many people.

      Thank you!

      Smile from the Heart,

                            I would like to thank you all for your comments and advice.

                            Yes I am and I will continue to pursue my Practice, Training, and Study. I have in fact missed out on a life I should have been living without being so self centered and self destructive in my own thinking and behavior. It wasn't until recently that I observed that my feelings, thoughts, and over all state of mind has changed. In the past I made a habbit of listening to certain music or songs and hearing only certain messages, or watching certain films that would reinforce and keep these feelings of being down all the time. . I have come to realize that perhaps in a way that feeling was . . An Addiction or Attachment of sorts. . Strange as that would sound. So I wonder if Depression in this case was something self created through a habbit.

                            Now this no longer happens, it's more like a transition has been made. I reinforce the Postive now with Smiling from the Heart, the energy of that seems to have become my habbit and in some ways and Addiction or Attachment . I no longer suffer the afflicting emotions, feelings and thoughts I have put on myself in the past.


                            Once again I thank you all for all of your time and efforts in helping me on the path of realization and learning.
