As a former dance instructor tormented by a pituitary tumor, I witnessed the healing of my joint pains through energy blessings and daily meditation. My allergies and hyperglycemia also went away without medications.
I have a pituitary tumor which causes a condition called acromegaly. My brain tumor, which is the size of a duck’s egg, has caused me to overproduce growth hormone, resulting in many ailments such as enlarged joints in my hands and feet and high blood sugar. The most serious problem was the inflammation of joints all over my body, so I could not walk, stand or sit for more than 2 minutes. Both of my knee joints were torn, and it was very difficult to go to the toilet. I had to use my arms to help support me when I sat down and got up. The pain was so severe that it was worse than death!
Before I got sick, I was a very active person, I exercised every day, and I was working as a dance instructor in a club. In March 2017, I met a friend who encouraged me to try Energy Bagua, saying it might help me. Raised in a Christian family, I was initially resistant to meditation, but for the sake of my health, I decided to give it a try at Bodhi Meditation Milpitas. Although I didn’t put much effort during the first three months of my practice, I was surprised to find that I was able to get through the spring without taking any anti-allergy medication, whereas in previous years I often had a snotty nose and tears even after taking medication.
That same year I took a 8.5-day Health and Happiness Retreat, followed by another retreat in November led by Grandmaster JinBodhi, where miracles happened one after another. During the class, I had to prepare several layers of cushions and use my arms to support myself to sit down. By the fourth day, my leg and knee pain had improved by 80% to 90%, and I was able to sit on only one cushion without any arm support. On the last day of the class, it happened to be my dad’s birthday, I went to buy our favorite cheesecake to celebrate his birthday. In the past years, because of my high blood sugar, I could not eat any cake. This time I didn’t think much about it, and I ate a lot of cheesecake. The next day, my sugar level was 94 on an empty stomach, which was completely normal. The next day a piece of something fell out of my nose. I showed it to my mother, who is a doctor, and she was puzzled, as it looked like a soft tissue, how could this happen? I was convinced that Bodhi meditation was so effective!
After the retreat, my confidence grew so much that I began to practice daily. A month later, during one of our Master’s energy blessings, I went into natural fasting for several days. My blood glucose level was as normal as two hours after a meal; I slept like a baby these days after years of insomnia, and I felt like I was in heaven. All the joints in my body did not hurt anymore; my growth hormone dropped to 4.3, which was close to normal value of 4. My endocrinologist cancelled my appointment for radiation therapy because my index was basically normal. What did I do in such a short time? I proudly said that I was practicing Bodhi Meditation.
Since then I have been practicing daily and attending every meditation class, which has resulted in many more changes and miracles in my life. I went on a cruise, my joints didn’t hurt at all, and I won first place in a dance competition on a cruise ship, I was so thrilled to be able to dance again! After years of suffering from pain, I had forgotten what it was like to be “pain-free”, and in just a few months of meditation, my chronic pain disappeared.
I am grateful to Grandmaster JinBodhi from the bottom of my heart! I also hope that through my effort, more patients like me can get rid of their pain and regain a healthy and happy life!
