Path to My Healing

I have put a lot of effort and energy into natural healing educational work. Why do I do this? About ten years ago, my hip was so painful that it affected my work, teaching, and my entire life. I refrained from going to movies or restaurants because I could not walk afterward. But since I married a movie fan, I had to go sometimes. Afterwards, I suffered. I felt very tired while driving too, felt sleepy after driving for 30 minutes. This kind of feeling I had to keep to myself because I didn’t want people to feel bad or sorry for me. I have dysplasia, which means I have a genetic deformity around the tissue that surrounds my hips; they are genetically weak and thin, which, in turn, leads to daily inflammation from regular use. There is no cure, according to western doctors, not even surgery because there is not enough tissue to support the hip joints. The best that the doctor can do is to give me pain killers. I first tried to refuse the pain medications, but could not handle the pain, so I agreed to use them. The first time I took the pain medication, I almost passed out. My stomach turned inside out, so painful like having bleeding in my gut. I could not function; I do not want anyone to have that kind of feeling. I also had Lyme disease which adds more pain to my body and my joints. Antibiotics did not do much for me; they did not remove many of my symptoms. In addition, I have asthma, chronic bronchitis and mild COPD. I was born and lived in China for 30 years prior to moving to the United States. At that time most people smoked; every business person smoked, everywhere you went it was a smoking environment. My father had very poor health, especially his lung function. One night I had to drive myself to the ER during my asthma attack. All of these situations affected my energy. Since there is nothing that doctors could do for me, I decided to help myself. I must help myself. I changed my diet and my attitude: I did Qi Gong, Tai Chi, Xing Yi, Ba Gua, bicycle riding, as well as other stretching exercises. After several years I finally turned myself around: I can walk, go to the movies without suffering afterwards, I can do pretty much like a normal person. My energy is 90% better and most of my symptoms are gone. The most important issue: I am so much happier because I don’t have the pain I had before. My mind is much clearer, my body can do what I want to do. I am soooooo happy. Isn’t that amazing? I am a private person but I am telling you this story because my work is to help people get well and prevent suffering. If you participate in the healing, you can heal yourself. If you rely on doctors and not participate in the healing process, you can live but not with the quality you ultimately desire. Start to practice Qi Gong, Tai Chi, and other exercises; you can make a difference in your life and health. Keep in mind, prevention is the key. You are the key to your healing journey. I continue to offer training programs. Many people come to my training programs, not really wanting to be an instructor; rather they want to help themselves.
