Dear Hong-chi,
Hope you are enjoying Hong Kong and I'm sure your talks will be packed. Thank you so much again for the totally life changing workshop. As I mentioned in my testimonial the biggest gift for me was that it
I have been doing Paida on my head as well as other parts daily and stretching twice a day. Also I changed my diet quite a bit and am enjoying bread with Olive oil instead of Almond butter. It tastes delicious and is probably a lot easier to digest.
Attached is my testimonial for your website as well as a few photos.
See you in South Africa!
With much love and gratitude,
Kucki
I attended the Paida and La Jin workshop in Vancouver BC, August 24th - 30th with a close friend of mine who had been sick for quite some time and almost canceled on the day the workshop started, as she felt she was too weak to get out of bed. I am sooo grateful she didn't. Even after the first day the positive change in her was amazing. When her husband picked her up a week later he could not believe she was the same person that had crawled into the workshop a week prior. She is now well on her way to regaining her health. It was so wonderful to share this healing journey with each other and the memories and laughs will stay with me forever - much better than any holiday we could have taken.
My brother Axel in Johannesburg, SA, who has been actively promoting Paida & Lajin (clapping and stretching) in Africa, insisted I attend the Vancouver workshop as he said, “I want my little sister (67 years) around for a long time.” I consider myself fortunate to be healthy and have not been to a doctor for as long as I can remember, so I felt there was no need for me to attend. Axel explained to me that Paida (clapping) is like doing a scan of your entire body to discover and treat latent illnesses that I might not be aware of, but that will surface in future. That was certainly the case, as I came out black and blue from the Paida even though I thought I was completely healthy.
Being very aware of my body the only thing that bothered me was that I was not quite as flexible as I wanted to be. I am very passionate about Yoga and meditation and have been doing it daily for the last 8 years. Even though I have been doing it for so long, I was not able to sit with my legs crossed (easy pose) during meditation without sitting on a bolster and I also could not do a squat without having a block under my soles. That all changed in the one week.
Two days before the workshop ended, I sat on the floor quite comfortably without any support in easy pose for our 30 minute meditations. I was thrilled. Also on the first day they measured the distance from the floor to our butts doing the squat and mine was 13 ". When they measured it again at the end of the workshop it was down to 4 ". It blows me away to think what changes are happening in my body to get such dramatic results in 6 days. On top of it I lost 8lbs, went from 133lbs to 125lbs, great side benefit.
Since I got back I have been doing Paida my head for one hour a day, plus doing the stretching for 15 minutes each side twice a day. Can't wait for all the changes that I know will show up. I realized that attending a workshop is not only for someone that has health challenges, but also to avoid health challenges in the future. I am extremely grateful to have attended the workshop and all that I learned from Master Hong-chi Xiao. The biggest gift for me is that it totally changed the way I think of any potential illness, because of Master Hong-chi Xiao's unshakable trust that regardless of the name you give them, it's nothing but blocked Meridians, that I now know how to deal with. I will never again look at any health challenge in myself or others without hearing his voice in my head: "Just do Paida & La Jin and for SURE it will be gone! What a gift!!! I am completely sold!
Give yourself the gift of continued vibrant heath by attending a workshop and bring a loved one.
With much joy and gratitude,
Kucki Low, Vancouver, Canada
