A personal story of healing

A number of years ago I herniated a disk in my neck. I dealt with neck pain regularly. I had chronic stiffness in my neck, shoulders and spine, and a weakness radiating all the way down into my forearm. I practiced Qigong at the time and used what I knew already to try and help recover from this injury. The injury was deep though and sometimes felt like it was never going to go away. The Qigong forms I knew helped relieve the pain and stiffness a little, but it did not seem like it was helping much with the recovery of the injury. It was around this time that I learned about White Tiger Qigong and their Taoist Medical Qigong systems. I began practicing them and started to see big improvements. Over a few years, the deeper I took this practice the more results I experienced in my recover of this injury. My neck mobility was greatly improving, the forearm weakness was going away and I did not feel burdened by stiff back and shoulders anymore. I started to focus in on just the 8 Trigram forms as they particularly help with spinal health. Over a period of about 4 months I stayed committed and took these forms deep. I was amazed at the transformation I was experiencing and witnessing within myself! My neck was clearly recovered and was back into a state of alignment in which I had not experienced in almost 6 years. I experienced the medicine of these ancient forms and it transformed me into a better state of overall wellness.

Through this I learned that recovery takes dedication and time. Healing is possible but it takes a commitment to your personal health and persistence in working towards that goal.
