Forums IMPORTANT: PLEASE READ Spring Forest Qigong my experience with Self Concentration meditation

I'm still shaking a little bit here. The experience has left me humbled and joyful. This was my second listening and I've been doing the active exercises a few days a week for a week.

I'm a very emotionally repressed person. I don't let emotions out a lot and tend to deflect praise when it comes my way. I was sitting in my rocker this morning listening to the Self Concentration meditation that came with the course and my armor was infiltrated. The healing energy got past my defenses and connected my cold, naked spirit with the love and warmth of the universe. My whole being was filled with an effervescence. Like someone surgically implanted Alka-Seltzer in my spine and it filled my arms and hands and nose and feet with pure energy.

And then I smiled. Without thinking or understanding or reasoning. I experienced truly spontaneous joy. For a person with a manic mind, this is a revelation akin to finding the meaning of life. To know love without having to reason or resist or negate or explain, is beyond my ability to translate into words. But a dam has burst in me and it's making my eyes water and my hands tremble. And i feel such peace and gratitude.

I don't know if any of this will make sense to anyone who reads it, but I had to share it.

thank you to the members of this forum who have been so encouraging and positive. You're energy has been received and it is appreciated. Thank you to master Chunyi Lin for collecting this wisdom and making it available to the world.

Thank you for posting and sharing your experience. It makes a lot of sense to me!

Though not emotionally repressed myself, I have had similar experiences doing various forms in SFQ. The one that has gotten through to me in this kind of way a few times is Master Lin's HEALING OUR WORLD guided meditation, which is available through the Spring Forest Qigong center's website, which is here .

There is no question that through the practice of SFQ, I am slowly, but steadily connectiong back to Source. This has been a goal of mine since going through a somewhat critical professional experience I had over a year ago, that really shook me to my core.

In consulting one of my teachers, a rabbi and psychotherapist, who was once my main mentor and spiritual teacher for over 10 years, he suggested I look into the Enneagram, specifically Sandra Maitri's work, THE SPIRITUAL DIMENSION OF THE ENNEAGRAM.

The bottom line of my teacher's suggestion--and Maitri's work-- is that almost any of our big problems that come up, especially if they are recoccuring, are in essence, a result of our initial disconnection from Source, which happens usually after birth, in the first two years of life, but can happen at anytime before birth, or after (I think. If I am understanding it correctly).

So the essential task of ALL healing, is to reconnect, or maybe better put, to reawaken our awareness of our everpresent connection to Source.

There are probably many ways to accomplish this. For whatever reason, I am finding SFQ to be the best way for me now.

And the kinds of experience that you describe, has become a frequent occurence for me lately during SFQ meditation, particularly during Small Universe and as I have said the HEALING OUR WORLD meditation.

I think of it, not as a destination for myself, but rather a signpost that I am going in the right direction.

Again, thank you for sharing your experience. It is very meaningful to me and I am sure others (including some of those "lurkers", who though they don't post, are still moved by what they read here. You all know who you are! And I know who a few of them are, because a few of them have indentified themselves to me elsewhere, one in person and at least one via e-mail and PM).

I look forward to sharing more of our progress together.

Thank you for sharing your experience! Keep going!

I am grateful for Master Lin's teaching of SFQ It is wonderful that so many people are experiencing the changes that bring peace and harmony.

Thank you for sharing, trailofthebear

I'd recommend emailing this to myself or info@LearningStrategies.com with the subject line: Spring Forest Testimonial.

Sometimes people only write in if their arm worked for the first time after using Spring Forest..." or something similar. Emotional healing make as much difference in our lives as the physical.

Much Love, Shawn
