(Minghui.org) I became a Falun Dafa practitioner in 1995 and I experienced many miracles thereafter. Here I want to share my real-life experiences of breaking through the limitations of gravity.

1. Falun Dafa helped me to understand the true meaning of the universe, history, and life

I read many books, but the more I read, the more perplexed I became. I felt no one could thoroughly explain life and this world. In 1995, I began to realize that traditional Chinese culture had profound knowledge and wisdom, so I started thinking about practicing qigong. At that time, a friend introduced me to Falun Dafa, and he also sent me the books China Falun Gong and Zhuan Falun.

After I finished reading China Falun Gong I felt that this cultivation way was good and I went on to read Zhuan Falun. The feeling I got when I read this precious book was that this cultivation way was so good that no language could describe it. Each time I began reading, I could not put the book down and my mind was profoundly affected!

My deepest feeling was that I had found the truth that I had been seeking for so many years. Zhuan Falun answers mankind's most fundamental questions in the most thorough way and the answers are so compelling that there is no book in the world that can compare. Falun Dafa unblocked my thinking, and my mind experienced a fundamental elevation. It was as though I changed into a different person. The joy I felt from the bottom of my heart was indescribable.

2. Several days after I began practicing I could levitate

After I read Zhuan Falun once, I started cultivating my xinxing and following the principles of Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance. I also started learning the exercises. Miraculously, as soon as I started doing them, I felt an invisible force guiding my hands to move along the required paths. I came to understand that these are the “qi” mechanisms mentioned in the book. I felt that Falun Dafa was really fantastic and it was true that “qi” and “gong” really exist.

As I kept doing the exercises, the feeling got stronger and stronger. When I did the second exercise—the Falun Standing Stance—I felt a Law Wheel turning between my arms. This was the first time I experienced the existence of Falun. Afterwards I felt that Falun were turning at many parts of my body. I even felt a Law Wheel turning in my hands when I held Zhuan Falun and read. I also felt invisible energy throughout my body; the energy got stronger and stronger and I could feel the powerful energy flowing in my meridians. I experienced more and more that gong was a real material existence.

If the above were only my feelings, then the following was a really amazing phenomenon. One day when I was doing the Falun Standing Stance Exercise, I suddenly felt my body become very light and my whole body floated up—pulled up by a force until only my toes touched the ground. My toes seemed to be chained to the ground. My body did not have any sense of weight and my toes did not bear any weight, but it seemed that my toes were locked and tied to the ground. While my body floated, only my two big toes touched the ground. This probably would have been difficult even for a ballet dancer. Master said in Zhuan Falun, "In fact, let me tell you that a person can levitate once the great heavenly circuit is opened—it is just that simple.”

After the great heavenly circulation circuit is opened, this phenomenon can happen to a practitioner. Since ancient times, this phenomenon has happened among practitioners in many cultivation schools. However, among Falun Dafa practitioners this phenomenon happens frequently.

3. In the 17 years of my cultivation, I've often experienced weightlesness

In 1995 when I had just started practicing Falun Dafa I experienced weightlessness. In the past 17 years, this has became more and more natural and more and more obvious, and from time to time it still occurs.

The weightless state occurs every time I join group practice. Once a fellow practitioner asked me, “Why do you always do the exercises on tiptoe?" After I explained, everyone came to understand that it is the phenomenon that occurs after the great heavenly circuit is opened, as mentioned in Zhuan Falun.

On one occasion, a new practitioner said to me, "I saw you floating while you were doing the exercises today. When I witnessed you floating, it further strengthened my belief in Dafa."

In fact, the “weightless” state often happens to me even when I am not doing the exercises; it has continued throughout the past 17 years. Even during the years I was persecuted in prison, my body was very light. Whether at work or elsewhere, I often feel like I am floating up, with only my toes linked to the ground. When I was teaching in college, many student saw me in this weightless state.

Many people get tired going up stairs. When I go upstairs, I often take two steps at a time. I do not feel tired even if I run up the stairs. Because my body is light, it is very true for me that no matter how high the building is, I never feel tired going up the stairs. I also walk fast. One time when I went hiking with friends, I helped carry someone else's luggage, but I still easily was the first to arrive at the mountain top.

One time when I was riding a bicycle, I suddenly felt that the bike was rolling forward without me peddling with much effort. I thought that I was on a downhill grade. When I looked, I was on a flat road. For the next 2-3 kilometers, I felt that I was being pushed forward. I have personally experienced most of the states mentioned in Zhuan Falun that Master said would occur after the Great Heavenly Circuit is opened. When I was in Wuhan, I talked with a friend who practiced a qigong, and we talked about qigong practices. She had been practicing qigong since she was very young. She was very healthy and she looked much younger than she really was. She could easily float on water at will. She could hold a Guqin (ancient musical instrument) and perform a variety of dance movements on water. Several media had reported her ability. I asked her, "Can you float in the air?" She said that she could not. Then I demonstrated to her my body floating up in the state of weightlessness. I told her that this state could occur in the course of cultivating Dafa.

All of the above occurred in the course of my cultivation.

4. Falun Dafa manifests countless miracles

In the past 17 years since I started practicing, I have never gotten sick and I look very young for my age; I look like I'm in my 20s but I'm actually over 40. When I stand next to my older brother, everyone always think that I am his son.

When I was imprisoned, my Fa study and exercises were interrupted and a third of my hair turned gray. After I was released from prison, I resumed my usual Fa study and practicing. My hair gradually turned black. Now, nearly all my hair is black again. My family members asked me whether I dyed my hair. I told them I did not and I told them that my hair turned black because of my cultivation. My family then started believing in Dafa and they became more and more disgusted with the persecution.

In the past years I have met many fellow practitioners and I seen many miracles happening to them. The most obvious was that almost all the fellow practitioners looked very young for their age; their skin became very delicate and smooth. For the elderly practitioners, I saw their wrinkles reduced and their hair turn black, and the female practitioners had their periods again.

As Master said in Zhuan Falun:

"After a period of cultivation practice, our Falun Dafa practitioners look quite different in appearance. Their skin becomes delicate and reddish-white. For the elderly, wrinkles become fewer or even extremely few, which is a common phenomenon. I am not talking here about something inconceivable, as many of our veteran practitioners sitting here know this situation. In addition, elderly women will regain their menstrual period since a cultivation practice of mind and body requires menses to cultivate the body."

All these happenings fully confirmed the miraculous power of Dafa.

I have a friend I've known since middle school. Only a few days after he started practicing Falun Dafa, a car ran over one of his feet twice, but he was unscathed, and even his shoe was not damaged. His colleagues who witnessed what happened to him were all stunned. It was really a miracle!

5. People who seek the truth, please cherish Falun Dafa

Since ancient times there have been always people seeking the truth. On the twentieth anniversary of Falun Dafa being introduced to the world, in one sentence I express all my thoughts and will: “Falun Dafa is the truth; please cherish Falun Dafa!”
