I am Arthur.

Since I was young, I have had an inexplicable intimacy with martial arts and qigong. I can pick up a stick and start imitating the movements even if I hadn’t learned them.  I am also sensitive to changes in the body and surrounding energy aura.

More than 20 years ago, a sprain in my lumbar spine caused Spondylolisthesis ( vertebrae misalignments).  I recovered after physiotherapy and Chinese acupuncture treatments. But I always felt that my body’s center of gravity was unbalanced and my psoas muscles were weak. Lifting heavy objects required the use of shoulders and upper body strength, which resulted in prolonged tightness in my neck and shoulders. And since 2016, when I woke up in the morning, I always felt tightness and pains in my chest and back. After an electrocardiogram, the doctor said I was fine, while the Chinese medicine doctor said it was due to too much stress.

Just completed YoungQi class. I feel my body has been adjusted, my center of gravity has become more balanced, my lumbar spine has begun to exert strength, and the whole person seems to have grown taller. My chest and back are no longer painful, and I feel so much better. My wife has also noticed that my face now has some lustre, the whole person has become more relaxed, and the smiles on my face have increased.

When I was a child, I loved to laugh.  However, after I accidentally broke my front tooth, in order to avoid other children’s ridicule,  I stopped laughing easily.  As I grew older, my front tooth was eventually repaired, but because of my work in movie and television commercial photo shoots,  constantly in a prolonged race  against time, under tension and high pressure, exhibiting a stern face has become a habit.  Five years ago I left that industry and  began to learn afresh on how to eliminate stress and slow down. It took more than three years to learn to eat slowly. It was a breakthrough for me to show my smiles again. Whenever I practised YoungQi movements, scenes of happy times with my deceased mother and many good childhood memories would appear in my mind. My heart would be filled with indescribable joy, corners of my mouth would lift upward unconsciously and smiled naturally.

In addition to the above points, now my dinner consumption quantity has decreased, but the weight has increased by 1.5 kg.  My mood has become more peaceful, not easily influenced by the outside world. There is also relatively less desire for material things, and my thoughts and spirits have become more focused.

Being able to learn Bai Yin Qigong has indeed been a kind destiny.  Looking forward to EnerQi classes to increase my skills.  I will continue to work hard! Let’s cheer together.
