(Minghui.org) I used to suffer unending pain from many ailments. My hair turned gray while I was still in my 30s. One doctor said that I would probably not live past 40.
He was proved wrong.
I am now 60, healthy, and energetic. A trip to a local park 18 years ago completely changed my life, when I began to practice Falun Gong.
I took my child to a small park near my home to play basketball one summer day in 1997. I noticed some people doing Qigong exercises, so I walked over and started to copy their movements.
Suddenly, I felt something turning in my body, moving from my left arm to my right, and then back again. My whole body soon moved along with it. When the exercises ended, a woman patted my shoulder and asked, “What happened to you during the exercises?”
“I felt something turning in my body.”
“Master has looked after you! It is Falun adjusting your body,” she said.
It was an amazing experience. All I did was copy a few movements and Master started looking after me. Even though I had believed the Chinese Communist Party's (CCP) atheist teachings, that day I truly felt that the Falun was turning in my body. I began to practice Falun Gong from then on.
I used to suffer from pain in my joints after giving birth. Especially when it was humid outside, the pain would be excruciating. I went to the hospital for therapy. When the doctor gave me a massage, the pain was so bad I cried. Although the therapy couldn't cure me, it did bring short-term relief. After many visits, the doctor recommended ultraviolet light therapy.
I went to hospital every day for ultraviolet light therapy until I suffered a serious burn on my back.
I worked so it was not possible for me to take daily visits to the hospital, so I bought a therapy machine for my home. For several hours a day I sat under the ultraviolet light. I spent all my spare time in the machine. The duvet I sat on was even burned by the machine.
Shortly after I started practicing Falun Gong, I took a nap after finishing my housework. Half asleep, I dreamed that two strong men gave me a massage on my back. They moved clockwise and counter-clockwise. I enjoyed it very much and suddenly woke up. My aching back was no longer hurt. It was amazing!
My immune system was very weak and soon did not work at all from my ailments. An ulcer appeared in my mouth and would not go away. Although I took vitamins C and E, it still took a long time to recover.
I had an ulcer on my tongue again after practicing for some time, and it lasted for 10 days. One afternoon, I felt a small Falun, about 5 millimeters in diameter, turning very fast on my tongue for about a minute. When it stopped, my tongue no longer ached and the ulcer was gone.
Before practicing Falun Gong I also had a nervous breakdown, and my heartbeat was irregular. I spent a lot of what I earned on medications, but nothing seemed to help.
I genuinely had the feeling of being illness-free after practicing for less than two months. Now 60, I can do all my housework without feeling fatigued.
I was arrested in 2002 for practicing Falun Gong. The labor camp guards sent in a doctor to try to talk me out of my belief.
I asked the doctor: “Could you explain why my illnesses were cured without medicine or injections?” He shook his head.
“I experienced Falun turning in my body. I also experienced how my Teacher purified my body. That changed me from a person with many illnesses to being illness-free. Falun Gong teaches us to be good and can bring people's morality back. The great Fa is rooted in my heart. No one can ever change it.”
The doctor and the guards then gave up their attempt to make me renounce Falun Gong.
