(Minghui.org) I am a new Falun Dafa practitioner. I began practicing on December 2, 2012. I had practiced other qigong for more than a decade, but was still in poor health. I had fibroid and pharynx band surgeries. Two years ago I had a problem with my stomach and had been on medication since then. I was frustrated with my poor health.

One day a friend of mine came for a visit. She and her entire family practice Falun Dafa. She looked happy and healthy. I said to her that we were the same age, yet she looked so much healthier than I did. She said it was because she practiced Falun Dafa. Then she asked why I was still in poor health even with my qigong practice. She was right, why wasn't I any better? What was the difference? Then she told me how good Falun Dafa was and helped me withdraw from the CCP and its affiliates. She gave me a Dafa amulet, and asked me to recite “Falun Dafa is good,” and “Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance is good.”

I did as she told me the following day, and repeated several times, “Falun Dafa is good,” and “Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance is good.” Suddenly I felt lightness in my heart and mind, and I was happy. I thought that I must have a pre-destined relationship with Dafa. I told my friend that I was happy and felt relaxed when I recited “Falun Dafa is good,” and “Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance is good.” She then loaned me the book Zhuan Falun to read.

When I read Zhuan Falun the first time, I was wearing glasses because my eyes had been failing. When I read it the second time, my vision had improved. The third time through, I saw a golden light in the book, but it disappeared when I tried to touch it. Master started to purify my body while I was reading Zhuan Falun. The skin on my face started peeling. After reading the book three times, I decided to practice only Falun Dafa. I also stopped all Chinese and Western medication.

One day when I was practicing the exercises, I saw Master in a yellow robe in the mirror. When I looked again nothing was there. I understood that our compassionate Master has been looking after me. I now practice the exercises and study the Fa every day.

I used to eat fish every day, and was attached to it. After I had practiced Falun Dafa for a month, I wanted to vomit whenever I saw fish. It was just like Master said,

“Someday or after my lecture today, some people may enter into this state: They cannot eat meat, and meat smells sickening. If they eat it, they will want to throw up. You are not forced by anyone, and neither do you force yourself to not eat the meat. Instead, this comes from your own mind. After reaching this level, you will not be able to eat meat, as it is being reflected from the gong. If you really swallow the meat, you will indeed throw up.” (Zhuan Falun)

I realized that I should not be attached to anything, and that the issue wasn't whether I ate the fish or not, but letting go of the attachment. Two months later I no longer had any problems with my stomach, and I could eat anything.

One day when I was doing the sitting meditation, my legs were in a lot of pain. My husband, a non-practitioner, urged me to stop practicing because of the pain. I said to him, “Master has said that in order to get rid of karma, we have to suffer. I have gained a lot more within these two months of practicing Falun Dafa than in the previous decade of practicing other qigong.” He realized that I was right, and from then on he has supported me in my Falun Dafa practice.

After fibroid surgery, I had large and small bumps all over my body. Once I began practicing Falun Dafa these bumps shrank, and then disappeared completely. I finally recovered, after suffering for over a decade. I am very thankful to Master for my healthy body.
