My First Qigong Experience by Daniel WW Cheong

Sifu, I'm Daniel from QBE MY22. First of all, let me convey my deepest appreciation for your kind guidance and advice. I hope to be able to learn as much as I can from you. As a beginner in Qigong, I'm starting this discussing in hope that others like me,seniors and Sifu can guide and impart the experience during their quest in the journey of learning qigong.

Perhaps, let me give you some background about me. Was introduced to Sifu by my friend Chong Chee as I was experiencing a bout of uncontrolled hypertension at about 160/110.FYI, I have been investigated by western medical doctor but nothing can be found, hence the doctor told me it was heredity and I have to live with it. Met sifu for treatment back in Oct last year and was keen to learn then but I have to finish my postgradute studies, so have to delay my learning. My hypertension medication consist of 8 mg of Coversyl, 10 mg of Novarsc (amlodipine), 0.4 mg of Physiotens and ?mg of minoxidil which was prescribed to my by Dr Prasad a nephrologist from SJMC. Hypertension was brought down but will hover up again at the end of the everyday.

After sifu's treatment at the clinic for 2 times and continue what he taught me on the neck and visualization excercise, my pressure came down to about 150/95. Subsequently, It came down again 140/90 and I have to drop the minoxidil as I was feeling groggy and floating the whole day. I continue practicing till this January and my blood pressure went down to 140/87. I took off Physiotens from my medication as the feeling of groggyness and floating was apeearing again. It was good for me as I have my own blood pressure monitor and getting such reading makes me very happy.

I subsequently attended the two-day MY22 Qigong Essentials class and was introduced to Qigong basic and foundamentals. I learn Wellness Qigong and practice it diligently and to my surprise my blood pressure drop to 130/80! ( I could not recalled having registered 80 on the systolic reading. I must say that I'm really pleased with result as I hope I can take out another medication soon as I'm beginning to float and have groggyness again.

I'm a firm believer now that Qigong can really assist us in controlling our blood pressure naturally as opposed taking in medication.

Thank you sifu and I look forward to the next self healing course soon.

Cheers
