Wong::
Dear Sifu,
I was browsing through comments by some
of your students and I was wondering if I could add some of
my experiences and thoughts to theirs?
First I would like to thank you for all
that you have done and are doing for me through your teachings.
It started out that I asked for your help to overcome pain
from endometriosis and it has developed into a marvelous journey.
One of the most important aspects of the
teaching of Sifu Wong Kiew Kit is that he tells us we are
capable of doing things, He does not promise us false results
but rather gives us the tools, namely the moves or forms,
and then allows us to take over the responsibility of caring
for ourselves.
As long as we actually practice Chi Kung
and not simply physical exercises or, worse, do not practice
regularly, then we have his assurance that we are capable.
This seems so simple, but it is one of the greatest gifts
he gives to us. The other aspect that we are given is "simple"
moves and the initiation to Chi Kung. It seems too good to
be true but if we listen to him and practice twice daily then
we will receive results.
His comments become deeper and easier to
understand as we progress in our Chi Kung. The perfect dichotomy,
as is Chi Kung. Who cannot find twenty minutes each morning
and evening to practice? If we truly wish to overcome a disease
and later achieve good health then we certainly can make whatever
adjustments are necessary to our schedule to receive the outcome
we wish.
My first hope was to overcome chronic pain.
I had no other aspirations at the time and I felt that this
was a major project. I even made a plan. I decided that since
it was noted in Sifu Wong's book, The
Art of Chi Kung, that every seven months our cellular
structure has completely changed, then it was reasonable to
expect drastic changes in my level of chronic pain in a time
period of seven months.
In the beginning I practiced three times
a day without exception -- before 9 am, between 3-5 pm, and
after 9 pm. Sifu told me that if I had been given the correct
teachings, was taught correctly and I did my part then I would
see results in 6-7 months. I followed his advice and became
almost pain free within 5 months and was completely pain free
within 7 months. There were times when my pain was worse than
prior to beginning Chi Kuiig and I was quite distressed and
concerned but by following through with the plan that Sifu
gave me I no longer have pain,
Now comes the bonus. I had accomplished
my goal but by that time I was also completely enthralled
with Chi Kung. I had been bothered by many allergies but they
were now gone. I had a phobia of birds since I was a child
and that too had disappeared. Instead of being afraid of birds,
now I love to hear the caw of a raven and actually derive
an amazing feeling of peace and calm when I hear its caw.
I find I am happy all the time, more tolerant
and more patient. I had not asked for or expected any of these
occurences and yet I should have because one only has to look
at Sifu to know what Chi Kung can give to an individual if
one practices daily.
He keeps telling us the "secret".
The secret is to practice, practice, practice.
I have been pleasantly surprised to find
that I have been able to enjoy some of the spiritual aspect
of Chi Kung. Sometimes when I am in my Chi Kung practice,
I see a glorious being who holds me. I believe it is a woman.
She has no features but she has a beautiful light within her
and around her and she shares this joy and light with me.
I am now able to accept what I am seeing
and bring it with me into my daily life. When I am concerned
about anything in my daily activities, I only have to remember
her and I feel a wonderful calm come over me. She guides me
to be more open and to care more for others. One of the interesting
features of Chi Kung is that the more we experience the more
we want to give back and the more we give back the more we
experience.
I recently had an opportunity to deliver
chi to a friend who was ill. We don't know each other well
but I had a very focused feeling that I must go to her to
help her with her Chi Kung practice. I spoke to Sifu and asked
for his help. He told me that he would "send a thought".
Well let me tell you that he is the master
of understatement. I literally floated on his chi to see this
friend. I could feel the chi fill me up and propel me to her
and when I opened her door in the hospital she was able to
see a light around me.
I would have had trouble believing this
had someone told me, prior to my practicing Chi Kung, and
so I understand if someone is sceptical of my recounting the
events. I do hope though that each and every individual has
the opportunity to experience this for themselves. There were
no concerns on my part for I knew that the cosmos was looking
after me, guiding and directing me to help. What a glorious
journey.
I sincerely hope that my sharing these comments
with you will in some way help some of your other students
and wish each of them the depth of commitment that they need
to practice, practice, practice.
Again thank you for all your help and caring,
As always,
Jean Lie
