"A Life Changing Experience"
by
Aissa,

During a recent trip overseas, my husband was run over by a careless
driver. He ended up battered, bruised and with broken bones.
After the dramatic trip to the local hospital that day, I could not
sleep.
In a
place where pain killers are a luxury,
reaching for an anxiety calming tablet in such a crisis was not an
option.
My
mind was racing in all directions, my emotions were all over the place.
While pacing our hotel room, I found myself “Balancing Yin Yang” (from
Relaxation
Fa Soong Gong). I kept doing Tai Chi, Qigong, Flexibility Silk
Reeling exercises, etc. I don’t know which sequence I chose or
under what heading the movements I was doing came. I just followed
my body instincts.
When
the neon light of the clock brought me back to reality, it was
3.40am. It was just past midnight when I started. I kept practising
for about 20 minutes or so, trying to re-capture the feeling of
weightlessness and floating in the cosmos, before I dropped into bed for
the best sleep ever. When I woke up the next day, it was like
something I had never experienced before, so SERENE.
It
was a life changing experience. I can hardly believe that your gentle
encouragement at the end of each session made its way to my mind and
brought me such a defining moment in my journey into Tai Chi.
Forever grateful to you for passing on your knowledge.
