In 2000, I accidentally sprained my back while playing basketball and was diagnosed with herniated discs in the 4th and 5th lumbar vertebrae. This single injury caused me more than 20 years of back and leg pain, and also a lot of inconvenience and suffering in my life.
Often times any careless movement would easily cause unbearable pain, especially when I was playing games with the children at the center. The pain felt like having a lot of needles poking into my fresh. I couldn’t move my body and walked very slowly. As an early childhood educator, I could not sit on the floor to interact with the children since it would trigger a sharp pain in my buttocks. I couldn’t bend over, even putting on my socks became such a difficult task. Driving to and from work was also affected, as I could not drive for more than 30 minutes, before my legs would get very painful.
I had seen many Chinese and Western doctors over the years, but the relieve was temporary. In the last couple of years, the pain has gotten worse. When I had pain, both standing and sitting hurt so much it exhausted me. I was so afraid that with my body getting weaker through aging, I would rely on the wheelchair for the second half of my life!
By coincidence, in March 2022, I got to know Bodhi Meditation and began to learn Energy Bagua. Surprisingly after only practicing for a little more than 3 months, my back and leg pain miraculously improved by 70% to 80%. I was so happy! Three months after that, my back has returned to normal. I rarely feel any pain! I can now squat, stand, jump, and bend over without any problems, and I can sit on the floor and play with children. I can also drive long distance now! All these things that seemed impossible for me for so many years became easy again! I feel like I’ve been given a new life!
Walking Energy Bagua also gave me another surprise. One day a friend who hadn’t seen me for a long time said to me, “Your double chin is gone, and you’ve become slimmer…” I came home and looked in the mirror and noticed that my double chin really disappeared, and my weight had dropped from 145 lbs to 130 lbs. I lost 15 pounds! I was so surprised and happy.
Now I feel refreshed and relaxed after walking Bagua every morning, and I’m so energetic throughout the day. I will continue to walk Bagua every day, for my health and happiness. I want to walk Energy Bagua when I’m 60, 70, 80, 90, 100 years old! I want to live every day healthy and happy!
Thanks to Bodhi Meditation, thanks to Energy Bagua!
