An Australian practitioner
I am/was a person who would not let anything get the better of me. Now I have learnt to let go, and let it come when it is ready. I also started Falun Gong as a peaceful-looking form of exercise. I am a long distance runner, who strives for personal bests, etc. I also go to gyms three times a week to work on muscles etc. As I am not currently working and live in a rural area, I still go to the gym more so I can spread the truth and try to encourage others to start practicing.
After practicing for about a month, I suddenly realised my sinus and asthma problems were gone. I had previously suffered extreme sinus all my life, even had a nose operation about 4 years ago. I took relieving drugs daily.
I had suffered continual and severe sinus all my life. Every day I had a blocked nose and was continually swallowing. At night I was up 4 or 5 times trying to clear the nose and throat. I would take numerous sinus tablets, which also kept me awake at night. I lived with constant headaches and eye pressure. As often as 6 times a year I had to have antibiotics due to sinus infection. Very often, 2 to 3 courses. I was so used to all this I didn’t realise how wonderful it is to be “normal”. I even had the sinus operation about 4 years ago. This didn’t help at all. The asthma was not as severe but on going. Both these problems disappeared about a month after starting the exercises. I was even doing some of them incorrectly for about 3 months, until I went to a practice site and was shown correctly. This goes to show the power of Falun Dafa. I was not looking for this side of Falun Dafa, it just happened. My life has turned around, I have not had a sinus headache or problem since. I have been practicing about 10 months now. Also I have just found out that my blood pressure has normalised. I always had low blood pressure and about 4 months ago for the first time in my life it is normal. Wow, I am now a different person! It would be great if all others could experience the feeling and health of being a practitioner.
My husband and teenage son are not practitioners, but I can definitely see and feel the changes in them since I began. They are not as quick to criticise, and can see the better side of people more than previously.
Now, I find that instead of getting up early to run, I feel more like doing the exercises. I am now 42 going on 43 and can see that previously I wouldn’t have been ready to accept cultivation practice. But I can now also see the hints along the way and how my life has changed over the years to obtain Dafa when I did.
