Name: Song Qi #SensitiveNose #Stress
From a young age, I have had a sensitive nose, and after marriage I was constantly having flu and cough. I would always be having a runny nose, mucus back flow, as well as a blocked nose for an extended period of time. Every night, I had to stack three to four pillows beneath my neck before I could get some sleep. Under worse conditions, my teeth would hurt, and my cheek would go numb. Despite seeing countless Western and Traditional Chinese doctors, the root of my illness could not be cured. My large intake of antibiotics caused my body to get progressively weaker and lethargic.
When I was young, my mother fell ill and passed away suddenly. The days I spent taking care of my mother allowed me to experience birth, old age, illness, pain, and the associated sufferings. I became very discontented with the world and suppressed these feelings of resentment and anger for 20 years. Furthermore, as I was working as a graphic designer for more than 20 years, my perfectionist character caused me to feel nervous and anxious. The stress on my mind and body made me worried that I will not be able to give birth to a healthy baby.
In March 2013, I attended the Bodhi Meditation Health and Happiness Retreat. Through listening to Grandmaster JinBodhi’s teachings and practicing the “Meditation of Greater Illumination”, the knots in my heart started unwinding. I learnt to broaden my mind to accept and calmly face everything. I also learnt how to let go, and be more encompassing and understanding. At the beginning of the 6th day of the retreat, my nose was no longer blocked and I was breathing smoothly. My menstrual cramps and flu were also gone, and I could sleep soundly at night. In October 2014, I gave birth to a healthy, bubbly, and adorable baby! Bodhi Meditation has changed my life for the better. I can welcome each day with a radiant smile.
