During the June school holidays, Singapore Bodhi Meditation Center held the first “Energy Bagua Elementary Class” for youths. This seven-day class was attended by 24 youths aged between 8 to 16 years old. The lessons were conducted face-to-face to ensure youths learn the accurate techniques and laid a good foundation in Energy Bagua.
With just seven days of practice, the youths benefited greatly. Some of their benefits include better temperament, increase in physical strength, greater self-confidence and improvement in focus.
Chee Zu Yi, 10
Zu Yi’s mother shared that her son was enthusiastic to discuss with her and her husband on the palm postures and footwork which were taught in class. He also tried to test his parents by requesting them to demonstrate the palm postures and footwork to him. With the guidance of Grandmaster JinBodhi, he reminded his parents to practise diligently for 100 days to have optimum results. After this class, his mother felt that their family now has more common topics to talk about and can practise Energy Bagua together. Thank you, Grandmaster JinBodhi!
Chan Le Xuan, 10
Le Xuan’s mother shared that before attending the class, her child was prone to nervousness, and lack concentration and self-confidence. She was also sensitive to comments made regarding her. For example, she would cry when a mistake was made and her parents asked her about it. After attending the class, Le Xuan became more confident and would explain to her parents if errors were made. Previously, she would play music to help relieve stress but it did not have much effect. After learning Energy Bagua, Le Xuan no longer feels tense! She has become more confident, cheerful and her concentration has improved. Her mother is really grateful to Grandmaster JinBodhi!
Sophie Ang, 16 and David Ang, 14
Sophie and David’s mother observed changes in her son on the third day of the class. In the past, David seldom communicated with his parents. After attending the class, he would take the initiative to share his learnings with his parents. Now he will also express gratitude to his mother for preparing his meals. In addition, both siblings expressed interest to attend any upcoming Bodhi Meditation Youth Camp at the end of the year.
Reynold Lin, 11
I have been practising Energy Bagua point with my parents at the Energy Bagua Practice Point. After attending the class, I realise I enjoy and like Energy Bagua even more. I am also very happy to make new friends of the same age as me!
Ang Jing Jing, 11
After attending the Energy Bagua Elementary Class, I found that my temperament has improved. I do not lose my temper easily now!
Low Quan Rui, 14 and Low Quan Sheng, 13
Quan Rui and Quan Sheng’s mother noticed both of them have more physical strength and energy than before. In the past when they took the hour-long train ride to Singapore Bodhi Meditation Center, they will always try to find a seat. After participating the Energy Bagua Elementary Class, their mother found that both of them could stand throughout the journey without expressing any tiredness.
On the last day of the class, everyone went to the park to practise Energy Bagua. Parents were also invited to participate. Through this activity, they witnessed the growth and progress their children have made. Their hearts were filled with pride and gratitude!
Through this class, the youths managed to spend their June school holidays in an engaging and fulfilling way. Let us look forward to the next Energy Bagua Elementary Class for Youths!
