IMPROVE YOUR MIND AND BODY THROUGH SELF-CULTIVATION PRACTICE
Twenty brave women took up the offer to improve their health on October 21, 2018 in Los Angeles, CA.
After a brief explanation of WFWP, Patrick Erlandson took the floor to invite all to the Father-Con event on Nov. 3. It is the first of its kind to be held addressing the importance of Fathers’ roles in the lives of their children. Fathers, fathers-to-be, mentors, and fathers who want to reconnect were specifically recommended to participate. Most of the talks will be addressing men. Patrick plans to hold such events yearly, hopefully monthly.
Then Lady Alicia Hamilton introduced the "Spirit of the Spirituals" event being held on Dec. 19 at the magnificent Immanuel Presbyterian Cathedral in Los Angeles. It will be a musical journey to freedom with historical narratives to commemorate 400 years of the African American experience. The WFWP Bridge of Peace will be used in the performance, culminating the narrative with peace and reconciliation.
Our main program began with Marie-Paul Baxiu’s explanation of the history of Falun Dafa. Although these practices have existed for several thousand years, they have only become widely known since 1992. The practices quickly spread throughout China and then the globe and are now known by millions. She told of the persecutions being suffered by thousands of practitioners in China, starting first with imprisonment and in more recent years with the harvesting of body parts for sale. This atrocious fact shocked us and we signed a petition asking for this to be stopped.
We moved the chairs aside to follow Marie-Paul as she performed each exercise/practice. They are simple, yet very effective, designed to
Open up all energy channels in the body
Enhance one's energy level and awaken wisdom
Purify and revitalize the body, drawing energy from the cosmos
Rectify all abnormal conditions, circulating energy throughout the body
Refine both body and mind through tranquility, while strengthening one's innate divine powers and energy potency.
The last practice is a meditation. (This writer wanted to show you how close a couple of ladies came to being able to sit with their legs bent into a pretzel - but not this time.) Marie-Paul said it took her 1 year to accomplish the Lotus position. To get more details of this practice, go to falundafa.org
Everyone left refreshed and energized in body and spirit.
