Ms. Eda is a breathing therapist and said, “I saw Falun Dafa on the festival page so I came. During the exercises, I felt the flow and opening of my meridian points. It was effective and beautiful. I am sorry to hear about the persecution in China.”

Ms. Naz who is a Family Constellation and Regression trainer said, “While doing the exercises, I felt both the energy field and the movement in my body. It felt good. I think it is a very effective practice both spiritually and physically. I will be following it.” Regarding the persecution of practitioners in China, she said, “I think they have suffered the injustice that many ancient spiritual paths have suffered. I hope they regain their freedom soon.”

Ms. Dilek who works at a school said, “This meditation is very good, and I feel purified and healed. I immediately felt the energy. It was very beautiful, and I recommend people experience it.”

Ms. Demet said, “I tried yoga before. Yoga requires stretching and this was difficult for me. But when I was doing Falun Dafa exercises, I didn’t struggle to do the movements at all. It seems to allow the whole body to breathe. I’m very happy now. I’m going to follow it.”

Emekli Öğretmen Nurcan Hanım said the practice benefited her physically and mentally.

Mrs. Nurcan, a 60-year-old retired teacher, said, “Your event attracted my attention. This was the first time I did the Falun Dafa meditation and it was wonderful. I feel Falun Dafa is good for both my soul and my body. I feel relaxed. Thank you very much.”

Ms. Mukadder who is a lawyer, said she practiced Falun Dafa in 2007. Her eyes filled with tears and she told practitioners, “During the time I practiced Falun Dafa, wonderful doors opened for me. I experienced so many good things in my life, it was very good for me. Even though I don’t practice Falun Dafa now, it’s still very special for me. It is the highest of all teachings.”

A practitioner reminded her that this encounter could not have been a coincidence. Ms. Mukadder called her friends over and invited them to talk to practitioners. She hugged practitioners tightly when she left.

A practitioner distributed brochures to all the booths at the festival. Many people read them right away and thanked her.
