Clare's story

Clare gives up using walking stick during retreat!......

Dsc01452_copy_1

"In June this year I participated in a five day intensive retreat, and during the course of the week became aware of profound changes occurring in my fascia and muscles; I actually felt as if I had a new body! I felt confident enough to try walking without my stick, and am still managing without it now that I am back at home in London. I have been able to stop taking morphine for the first time in eight years and am not on any other regular medication for pain. I can also enjoy the very simple, but important, pleasure of being able to go for a walk with my husband and hold his hand, for the first time in twenty years. I have also noticed that I have some energy and stamina; these are things I thought I would never regain, and had resigned myself to feeling tired all the time for the rest of my life. I consider this amazing transformation to be nothing short of miraculous; yes, there have been times when I have struggled and suffered in my practice, it is not always easy and not always pain free, I have had to apply myself, but the benefits from my first class on were enough to encourage me to keep trying. I now practice for about forty minutes a day and have found enormous mental/spiritual benefits in addition to the physical ones. I would urge anyone who has suffered from a chronic illness or any kind of disability to try chi gung, you may benefit in many ways, some of them totally unexpected!"
