Okay, I have to be honest. Today is Day #3…. Day #3 of doing/listening/BEING Qigong for over 8 hours a day and both Troy and I are exhausted!!! We had all the good intentions of going to bed early… but let’s face it, with three children whom we haven’t seen all day for the past three days, going to bed early was not a possibility. So, we started off today tired. Plus, I had a headache.
However, it STILL became a phenomenal day! Today, we learned how to do Level 2 form better. Even with a headache and not feeling well, I STILL felt the Qi. This form is more challenging to me than the previous form. But, we all were able to execute it rather well. It is an incredible site to see all of us doing the same thing simultaneously and with sincerity. We still had over 1,500 people today despite it being a Monday.
Jeff asked us what was our favorite pose from Level 2. By far, the overwhelming majority was the one pose where we lift our hands up over our heads and then at a 45 degree angle, look up at the sky to thank God/The Universe/The Source. It is a very holy pose and very humbling as well.
We then started our 9 Breath Method Training. We were all sitting and Jeff explained to us that this is normally the closing form of Level 2 Qigong Form where we are standing. He explained the history behind it, the intention, the exact details for us to be able to execute this when we participate in the circle after lunch.
Today’s highlight for me was learning the famous 9 Breath Method which then led us to form a 1,500 people 9 Breath Method Circle where we together as one breathed energy and made a series of sincere, loving and most humble prayers for different things. We prayed for the people of Orlando, the children of the world, the poor and suffering of the world, the beauty/blessings of our planet, for forgiveness, for ourselves, for healing of the planet, for our leaders, for…. you name it, we prayed for it.
It was magnificent!!! Imagine walking into a huge ballroom of over 1,500 chairs arranged in small connected circles throughout the entire room like flowers, Troy said. Everything was quiet… holy…. sacred…. we all walked in and quietly took our seats. Then, we all held hands to transfer our love, our hearts, our energy, our healing power as one as we did this miraculous 9 Breath Method together. Strangers were holding hands hoping, praying, intending only love and goodness for our people, our planet.
What is this 9 Breath Method?! I will try to describe it enough to do it justice… This is a method of breathing in a series of 9 powerful breaths to gather an incredible amount of qi in your body that when you breathe out and in a group of any size, you can together create an atmosphere of magnificent healing energy. This cannot be done without proper training and guidance of a qigong teacher. (Jeff gave us many safety precautions in order for us to not have symptoms of hyperventilation or actually fainting. He stated that with doing this for 18 times with over 7,000 people, he has never had one yet faint. Woo-hoo for me… I was getting just a little concerned as he was giving us these precautions and warnings.) So, this is to emphasize the significance of this practice. It is not done lightly and without care.
So, when we connect our hands, we generate incredible amount of energy that passes along our arms and hands to each other like an electric current. After each series of the 9 breath method, we made a sincere intention/prayer for different powerful things. Each time I would exhale that last breath, the Tumo breathing breath… I tell you with all honesty and truth… I felt a warm whoosh of heat come from my hands- my palms as I was holding Troy’s and Dan’s hands. Each time we completed a series of the 9 Breath Method, I analyzed my breathing afterwards and sure enough, I felt the qi transfer from me to my hands.
What did I feel?! This event lasted 90 minutes. Yes, we were doing the 9 Breath Method for 90 minutes!!! I was telling Troy that participating in something so powerful and good was one of the most phenomenal things I’ve ever experienced in my life. I cannot even begin to describe how humbling, how sincere, how blessed I felt throughout the ENTIRE time! I was crying from being so thankful for all of our blessings and being the most sincere and humble I’ve ever been in my life… many people had clarity, focus, and sincerity for the first time in their life after being in the 9 Breath Method Circle. I have never in my life prayed/meditated for 90 minutes straight. How empowering, cleansing, strong, and humbling this all felt.
After a few of us shared what we and how we felt during the Circle, we took a short break and prepared for the incredible musical talents that Jeff had arranged for us to enjoy. Troy and I unfortunately had to return home to be with the children so we missed it! I was so sad because we wanted so much to stay, but was not able to. We heard it was totally incredible. I do want to get the music.
Day #3 was life altering and caused us to experience the power of prayer/meditation/ healing energy when 2 or more are gathered in His name.
