At the beginning of 2017, I felt really weak. Oftentimes, my legs would feel stiff and hard; sometimes they felt numb and sore. The joints in my leg would hurt every time I took the stairs. At times I was too weak to speak. Through meditating for about a year, my body feels energized, my legs have become more flexible and no longer feel numb or painful. I feel so happy. I will continue to meditate.

I started experiencing chronic soreness, pain and stiffness in my shoulders, back, arms, and neck in 2012. Three years later, I was diagnosed with tennis elbow. It was so painful that I could not lift my arms. After practicing meditation for about four months, the stiffness and pain had been greatly reduced. In less than a year, my elbows were completely recovered, and my back and shoulders were no longer stiff.

Years of hairdressing had made my lower back weak and sore for more than 10 years. While working, I often had to rest by leaning against the chair. I struggled to rise from a seated position. My massage therapist told me there was nothing that could be done. I did not expect to be able to sit cross-legged on a cushion with fellow meditators. Surprisingly, getting up from the cushion was easy, too!
