Hello Master Xiao,
Further to my amazing experience at the Perth expo after your workshop during a session of Lajin, here is a brief synopsis and testimonial, sent with extreme kindness and gratitude for what happened.
I have experienced a continuous feeling of pain in my lower back for many years, which despite numerous treatments from various modalities over a number of years including chiropractors still remained.
When I was lying down on the bench during a treatment of Lajin, I listened to the instruction to relax as I breathed slowly and deeply in and out and the more I did so the greater the intensity and sensation I felt within my body. I knew something was happening and I wanted the end result to be as great as possible. As my mind switched off, I did experience heat within my body as my breathing became fairly intense and laboured with the sensations that were going through my body; including a feeling of pain in my right hip from the weight placed on my free leg as it stretched over the edge of the bench. In fact from the Lajin treatment this is where I felt most discomfort.
After a period of time I switched legs and this time the pain was from my left groin/inner leg area but with similar intense feelings as described above.
As the treatment of Lajin finished,
After a few minutes when I was able to stand, I felt so light and relaxed as much of the pain from my lower back had dissipated, wow what a feeling which by itself put a smile on my face. Something I had not experienced for a very, very long time.
A short while later as I was talking to Master Xiao, I felt convulsions through my left hamstring and suddenly the tightness which previously i had been unable to release was gone.
The next day some of the pain and tightness had returned, but a few more sessions of self-treatment Lajin, combined with a lot of stretching and two days later the pain and tightness within my body has lessened further.
What can I say about my experience of Lajin?, a sense of peace, tranquility and happiness came over me in what was an intense experience of simultaneous pleasure and yet pain. Certainly a 'no pain - no gain' experience.
I can recommend the practise to anybody with back pain, especially lower back pain or tightness/stiffness in the buttocks or hamstring. As Master Xiao says it is a method of self healing, but you have to be 'ready' to be that willing participant.
Many, many thanks Master Xiao.
