"As soon as you trust yourself, you will know how to live."
- Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Living with Health Issues or Injuries
I have had my share of health issues and injuries in my life. And, I am here to tell you that Qigong provides the tools that can help you during these trying times. It may not cure you, although it is possible and does happen, but it can give you a direction and purpose for living. It starts with the stories we tell ourselves. If we are stuck, feeling like a helpless victim, then it is time to accept our circumstance and let go of this story. This kind of story affects our energy system and our physical body.
So while we must first accept the reality that we have the issues that we have, these issues don't have to define who we are and what we do in life. Some people without legs go on to run races and climb mountains. Some people that are confined to wheelchairs have a great positive attitude and accomplish great things like running their own business, sky diving, having a beautiful family. Life is what we make it.
There are many different forms of Qigong that can help with a variety of health issues and injuries. There are Qigong exercises that will strengthen our legs, and release tension in the low back and shoulders. There are Qigong meditations that can quiet our mind if we are too stressed out. There are Qigong forms that can help reduce fatigue over time with consistent practice. There are Qigong exercises that can reduce or eliminate curvatures of the spine. There are Qigong exercises that will increase energy flow and blood circulation in the body. There are many more health issues that may improve from practicing Qigong.
If you have been living with some health issue for many years, don't think that it can't improve. Don't think that you are stuck with it for the rest of your life. If we limit our beliefs based on our five senses or what others have told us, then we lose our own power. Keep searching for answers, not as a victim needing help, but as a person with the desire to not just heal themselves, but even more importantly to teach others that they can heal as well.
Our minds are powerful beyond measure, and when you learn the principles of our energetic nature, we can tap into the Chi Field for our highest purpose. Not just for our highest purpose, but the highest purpose of all life. This is true power.
