(Minghui.org) I started practicing Falun Dafa one year ago and have truly experienced its wonders.
After reading the Falun Dafa books and more on the Minghui website, a deep sense of goodness developed in my heart. I have never had such a feeling before.
I am a practicing psychologist, a professional who must be absolutely neutral during counseling sessions. We facilitate the proper channeling of patient emotions and suggest ways of thinking they might benefit from, while being careful to avoid making moral judgments.
Yet, by having studied the Fa, I now believe that the myriad of social and psychological issues people suffer from are deeply rooted in the degradation of society's moral compass.
My family and friends all agree that I have undergone major changes, making me a better person. But, only I can see how significant the changes truly are. I used to be restless but now I am calm. I used to have an inflated self-esteem, but now I can let go of it. I used to be selfish but now I am considerate of others. All these changes are unimaginable in an ordinary person and could only be achieved because of Dafa.
I started practicing Falun Dafa because of what I believe to be a predestined relationship with the practice. My cultivation path began when a practitioner told me and a few friends about Dafa.
While my friends remained doubtful and kept questioning the practitioner, I, to the contrary, felt a mysterious sense of awe and excitement when I heard the word “Falun Dafa” and Master's name. I was shocked and said to the practitioner, “Is it because the word 'Falun Dafa and Master's name bear energy?” He nodded. Then he gave me the book Zhuan Falun and other Dafa materials.
When I began reading Zhuan Falun for the first time, I also tried the meditation exercise and could sit cross legged for about an hour. I felt my back pain that had been bothering me for several months was moving to my upper shoulder blade. The next day it shifted to the other side of the shoulder blade. The third day it came back down to my back and then I no longer was bothered with it. It was so incredible that I made up my mind to practice Dafa for the rest of my life.
There were other wondrous manifestation in the early days of practicing Dafa. I almost fell asleep during the sitting meditation about one month into the practice. All of a sudden, I was awakened by something and saw many small golden lotus flowers swooshing by before my eyes.
I believe this was a vision through my third eye, and this wasn't the first time I have experienced such things. I have also felt what seem to me to be Falun rotating at my finger tips and palms during the exercises.
What I see in other dimensions is limited to my own level, of course, and that such occurrences are one of the ways that Master encourages practitioners during their early days of cultivation.
A true practitioner must understand the Fa from the perspective of the Fa and know the true purpose of his or her cultivation. Only by doing so can he/she walk solidly on the long and winding path of cultivation.
