SHOULDER PAIN, CHRONIC

My psychiatrist had been telling us about qigong, and specifically Spring Forest Qigong, for months before you came to Las Vegas to teach the Level One class. While I have always believed in the idea of yin and yang and the powers within each one of us, I have to admit that I was still skeptical as we rode up to meet you for my private session. As it took place the day before the class, I had no idea what to expect.

I came to you with a multitude of problems, most resulting from an accident I had seven years ago. I have chronic shoulder, back and leg pain and take a great deal of strong medication. Earlier that day, I had had what I call a ‘meltdown’. For no specific reason, I get very anxious and cannot stop crying. So my mind was in turmoil when I came for the healing session.

You had me sit in a chair, close my eyes, and take three gentle breaths. “Think of a happy experience or peaceful place, or just relax your mind”, you said. I could not do either one. As the session began, my mind was darting around all over the place.

My hands were resting, palms up, on the arms of the chair, when I began to feel a very gentle throbbing sensation. The room was completely silent and I began to feel more at ease, even though I did wonder what you were doing during this time. Then I felt my neck relax and my head start to fall forward, it was as if I were falling asleep.

Suddenly, I felt a surge of love that was so strong I could almost touch it! Then I heard you quietly saying to me that the session was over. I noticed heat and tingling in the palms of my hands. I felt relaxed, and I felt exhilarated at this amazing feeling I had experienced! 

The following day we went to the Level One class. I told the group of my experience the day before, and, while I was telling them, I realized that a constant pain that I’d had in my right shoulder for a long time that I had not told you about was gone!

The private session and the class were an amazing experience!

Dany, thank you!
