Saying Goodbye to a Life of Allergies

When I was little, I always made my parents worry. Because of my allergies, I had all kinds of allergic diseases that other kids might have, such as allergic skin, allergic diarrhea, sneezing, runny nose, and colds. The worst one was allergic dermatitis. The amount of nasal drips needed every day was too much for me. When I was little, my runny nose always left two trails on my face. My friends laughed at me, and adults shook their heads when they saw me. My mom took me everywhere to find the best doctors. I tried various informal prescriptions, but there was no sign of improvement. We tried very hard. Finally, we found a doctor who comforted me with the words, "Don!|t worry, these problems will go away when you get older." Because of this, I always dreamt about how wonderful it would be to grow up. However, as I got older, my allergies did not get any better. On the contrary, the condition got even worse. I developed a side effect of allergic conjunctivitis. My eyes were red like a rabbit's. They were so painful and itchy that I had to use eye drops and eye salve every day and night. They caused stones in my eyes, which necessitated an operation to remove them.

To control my allergies, I looked everywhere for any method to keep my body healthy. My relatives recommended that I join an ancient martial arts academy, the Tai Ji Men Qigong Academy. Through practicing Qigong in Tai Ji Men, I improved the health of my body and mind. My allergy problems finally went away. I learned not only how to relax my body and mind, but also how to maintain my health. I felt as if my whole body which was like an old machine was being replaced with a brand-new engine that started to operate powerfully and smoothly.

At the Tai Ji Men Qigong Academy, I also learned to be introspective. I am no longer selfish and picky about every detail, and am getting along much better with others. Not only have my allergies gone away, but my thinking has also changed. With Shifu!|s constant guidance, I now understand that the purpose in life is to be of service to others. Helping people makes me happy and keeps me positive. My life hence has become more meaningful everyday.

It is very cold this winter, and especially difficult for people with allergies. But now, I can finally say with a big smile that I have not had any allergies for a long time. My health has totally improved. Now, I feel refreshed and my smile is brighter than ever.
