On December 10, one of the major TV stations in Minnesota, WCCO-4, showed a program on Falun Gong on the evening news "Dimension Hour".

With practitioners demonstrating the exercise movements, the reporter introduced,

"Falun Gong involves exercises for the mind and body. It started in China, but now more than 100 million people from around world use this form of meditation. John Nania leads a local group.

Falun Gong exercises are based on three principles: Truthfulness, Benevolence, Forbearance.

The exercises can be done anywhere and are appropriate for all ages. Ah.. well all ages that can get themselves in double lotus position.

All these exercises are about energy really, let the energy flow through our bodies and refresh that energy."
