Falun Dafa In My Heart

After a short time of cultivation I would like to share my experiences. This is the story about what Falun Dafa means to me.

I had been ill for over two years, unable to work. Anxiety has stopped me from almost everything that an ordinary life should contain. When I was at the worst, I felt like someone was tearing me in small pieces from the inside, the pain was enormous and the dark was all the time threatening to swallow me. My bed was the only place I felt safe in, so I stayed there. Leaving the apartment was out of the question. For a period of time I even needed help to shop for groceries and to wash the dishes. It was as if I did not have a single drop of energy left in my body. The struggle to try to get back to an ordinary life has been hard and long, I always felt there was something missing.

This spring I started to practise Falun Gong. The first time I tried the exercises I felt that this was different form anything I had ever been in contact with before. It was so powerful. It got the energy flowing in my entire body. I began to go to the practice site once a week, no matter how bad I was feeling. To my own surprise I always managed to be there, ten o’ clock every Sunday, even though I usually did not manage to get out of bed until lunchtime. It just felt right to be there.

One Sunday, after the practice, two other practitioners told me about the experience sharing conference in Gothenburg. They told me about how they and all the other practitioners had been walking in the parade on the same streets as the street disturbances had been on only a few hours before. They told me about the practitioners who were wearing white clothes and holding pictures of those who had been killed in China. It made me feel cold, even though I was sitting in the middle of the sun. It went right to my heart that benevolence and light really exist in this world. There exist people who know this and who embrace the good instead of fight against the evil. I went home and cried. For the first time in my life I got something that had always been confirmed in my heart, something I had always thought was wrong, something I thought I had to hide and forget all about.

Falun Dafa is helping me to find the way back to the light in my heart. Falun Dafa is helping me to find and embrace the best and most valuable things about my self. I have found a strength I never could have imagined to posses. I feel like I am right at that spot I am supposed to be in and that makes me feel calm and safe. The anxiety is gone. As a bonus I do not have to wear glasses any more and the allergies I had have disappeared. I am astonished by all the positive changes that occur in my life.

For me, Dafa is obvious. The more I study the Fa [principles of Falun Gong], the more relieved I feel. My heart has always been right. A lot of people have a strange idea about what is right and what is wrong. Now I know I am here to share the light.
