为了验证传说中的拍打拉筋体验营自愈效果，也为了更好地主办澳洲的自愈法演讲和体验营，蔡先生夫妇专程到北京参加7日体验营，用自己的高血压和糖尿病来验证。果然名不虚传，从此对澳洲的演讲和体验营更加信心百倍。
中国人历来以其悠久的养生实践史而闻名，从针灸、刮痧到中草药的内服和广泛运用，不一而足。不过，我想很少有人会反对数千年来的中医“圣典”《黄帝内经》赋予中医传统疗法的历史深度和丰貌。
开营前测血糖
我深信整体疗法和天然食品，对中华老祖宗传承下来的东西很感兴趣。我原以为自己已经熟知传统中医疗法，直到几年前的一天一位朋友给我发来电子邮件，让我看萧宏慈老师在苏格兰接受采访的视频（Beyond 2012）。
就这样，我被引进了拍打拉筋的世界。也就是在那时，我才意识到传承了数千年的中医自愈古法仍有太多值得世人探索的未知、未解之谜。
用拉筋凳拉筋
拍打拉筋是传统自愈法，它作用于人体经络穴位，帮助人体抵抗和自愈疾病。
拍打拉筋的妙处在于这是一种“非介入式”疗法，无需用药或是由其他人帮助我们疗愈、修复身体。拍打拉筋自愈法还鼓励人们自主健康，从体内调出负面的毒素，或曰“痧毒”。
妻子（Corine）和我决定参加近期在北京举行的7日拍打拉筋体验营。这真的是我俩最难忘、最受启迪的经历之一。
十年前，Corine被确诊患有高血压，开始服用降压药，（并被告知）可能出现的副作用是会轻微咳嗽。然而，在过去的几年里，这种“轻微”咳嗽逐渐演变为持续咳嗽，扰得她很多个晚上不能睡个安稳觉。我们被转介到各个专家门诊，去检查她可能出现的哮喘症状、肺部问题等等。最终，这些检查证实指标正常，不过，我们得 “忍受”这种咳嗽，别无他法。
至于我本人，我在几年前被确诊患有2型糖尿病，医生也建议我服药。但是，我决定用别的办法，以避免终生服药对体内其他器官可能造成的副作用。
因此，我们参加此次体验营，踏上了自愈之路。
体验营开班前三天我妻子停服了降压药，在开营前给我们测量了血压、血糖和体重。她的血压是138/84，体重52.6公斤；我的血压是138/80，餐后两小时血糖值12.3，体重69.3公斤。
在这7天当中，全体学员（共25名）每天早上禅跑1小时，静坐半小时，接下来一整天都在拍打拉筋。教练们教我们如何自行拍拉，并将注意力集中在健康状况需要改善的部位。
教练们真的很棒！他们不知疲倦、不停地帮助学员拍打，调出他们体内的毒素或“痧”，常常拍上几分钟就能出痧！
因为我患有糖尿病，我身上出的痧大部分在大腿内侧（与肾脏、肝脏和其他相关器官相连）和手臂内侧（与淋巴结相连）。
我们的饮食非常清淡，其目的真的是让我们的身体有机会通过健康饮食经历排毒过程。体验营第1天（编者注：应该是第2天），我们的早餐是煮熟的蔬菜和小米粥，午餐是小米粥，晚上喝蔬菜汤。体验营第2-4天辟谷（编者注：应该是第3-5天），每天只喝姜枣茶。到第5-6天（编者注：应该是第6-7天），我们逐渐复食，开始喝些小米粥。最后一天，我们早上喝小米粥，中午吃馒头和蔬菜。
之前，我从未尝试过辟谷。辟谷前，想到我得3天不吃东西，每天还得晨跑1小时，就觉得这将是一种可怕的煎熬。可奇怪的是，我不仅完成了每天的各项活动，身体的能量水平还维持得不错，不觉得疲惫或是无精打采。
体验营进行5天后，我们再次测量，其结果真是让我们既惊喜又受启发。我妻子的血压降到110/80，体重降到49.2公斤。这是在没有服用任何药物的情况下做到的哦！我的血压降到130/80，餐前血糖6.5，餐后两小时血糖值7.5，体重降到64公斤。
虽然我没有经历任何气冲病灶，我有机会见证了其他学员身上出现的各种气冲病灶反应，包括释放、修复体内潜藏的情感创伤。
7天的密集式体验课程虽已结束，我俩依然感觉非常神清气爽。Corine和我都觉得这是我们此生做过的最正确的决定。我们不仅得到一次排毒和结交新朋友的机会，并且，我们现在知道我们真的是自己健康的主人！
萧老师将于今年10月亲临澳大利亚珀斯传播拍打拉筋自愈法。我相信许多在澳洲的人们将受益于他的教诲，有机会过上更加健康的新生活！

The Chinese have always been well-known for their long standing history of health practice. From acupuncture, gua sha and the intrinsic and expansive use of Chinese herbal medicine. But I think few would argue the depth and richness of the historical element on traditional healing methods derived from Huang Di Nei Jing (Yellow Emperor’s Canon of Internal Medicine),the “Bible” of Chinese medicine for millennia.
Pre-workshop recording of levels.
Being a strong believer in holistic remedies, natural foods and having a strong interest in my Chinese heritage, I had thought that I was familiar with the topic of traditional Chinese therapies. Until one day several years ago, a friend of mine emailed me a video interview conducted with Master Xiao Hong Chi in Scotland (Beyond 2012).
This was when I was introduced into the world of Paida Lajin. It was also then that I realised how much the world still has to unravel the ancient Chinese self healing practices that have existed for over few thousand years.

A traditional form of self-healing, Paida Lajin (which literally translates to ‘tapping and stretching) works on a body’s meridian points to help combat and heal our body’s diseases and illnesses.
The beauty of this method is that it is non-invasive and doesn’t require the use of medication or another person to help heal and repair our own body. This method also encourages independence on drawing out the negative toxins, or sha, from our bodies.
My wife (Corine) and I decided to participate in the 7-day Paida Lajin workshop in Beijing recently. This has to be truly one of the most inspiring and memorable experience for the both of us.
Corine was diagnosed with hypertension 10 years ago and was put on medication with the possible side effect of slight coughing. However, in the last few years, this ‘slight’ coughing had graduated into very persistent coughing and has led to many nights of disrupted sleep. We had been referred to various specialists to check for possible asthmatic symptoms, lung conditions and so on. In the end these checks were confirmed to be normal and that this coughing is something that we just have to ‘put up with’.
With myself, I had been diagnosed with Type 2 diabetes a few years ago and was also advised to go on medication. However, I decided to take the alternative route and not expose my body through medication for life and resulting in possible side effects on other organs in the body.
Thus we embarked on the journey of self healing in this workshop.
Three days before the workshop my wife stopped taking her medication and before commencement of the workshop we had our blood pressure, sugar level and weight recorded. Her blood pressure reading was 138/84 and weighed 52.6 kg. My blood pressure reading was 138/80, sugar level reading was 12.3 taken 2 hours after meal and weighed 69.3 kg.
In these 7 days, all 25 participants were introduced to daily zen jogging for 1 hour, half an hour of meditation, and then the rest of the day was focused on Paida Lajin practices. We were taught how to self-tap and self-stretch, focusing attention on the areas where our health conditions needed to be addressed.
The trainers were truly amazing with their tireless healing hands working non-stop, doing Paida on participants to draw out the toxins or sha from the bodies. The results were often seen within minutes!
Because I suffered from diabetes, the sha appeared most on the inner thighs (parts that are linked to the kidney, liver and other related organs) and inner arms (parts that are linked to the lymph nodes).
Our meals were very light and simple. The objective is really to give our bodies a chance to go through the detoxification process by having a healthy diet. On the first day, our breakfast consisted of cooked vegetables, millet congee followed by millet congee for lunch and vegetable broth for dinner. Days 2 to 4 were fasting days, and were supplied with just ginger and red date drinks daily. During days 5 to 6, our bodies were slowly introduced back to eating by having millet congee for our meals. On the last day, we had congee for breakfast and lunch was sweet plain buns (man tou) accompanied with vegetable dishes.
I have never tried fasting before in my life and my perceived ordeal of having to fast for 3 days without food compounded with having to do an hour's jogging daily was indeed very daunting. To my surprise, I not only survived the daily rituals but also discovered our own body's energy levels was sustaining without feeling tired or lethargic.
Five days into the workshop we had our readings again and the results were really amazing and inspiring. My wife's blood pressure has dropped to 110/80 and weighed 49.2 kg. This is without any medication! As for me, my blood pressure has dropped to 130/80, sugar level was 6.5 before meal and 7.5 taken 2 hours after meal and weighed 64 kg.
Although I did not experience any healing crisis, I had the opportunity to witness these manifestations in other participants including withdrawal symptoms of hidden emotional traumas inside one's body.
Still very much refreshed from the intensive 7-day workshop, both Corine and I agree that it was the best decision we have ever made. Not only did we get a chance to detoxify and make new friends, but we are now inspired with the knowledge that we are TRULY masters of our own health!
With Master Xiao himself personally making a visit to Perth this October, I believe many of us in Australia will benefit from his teachings and the opportunity to lead a healthier and new way of life!
