Tai Ji Men Qigong Academy

I found a Mentor

24 years ago, I left my job in Malaysia and followed my husband to Taiwan due to the recession hit Malaysia. Fortunately he got a job as a Civil Engineer in Taiwan. Since I can’t read Chinese, I was trying very hard to adapt into the new environment. I was afraid of going out far by myself because I worried that I might get lost, moreover cell phone was not popular at that time.

Those days, we were still in our honeymoon. When my husband went to work every morning I would just stay at home and wait for him for dinner. Everything went smoothly for the first year until he was busy with his work and he sometimes had to work till midnight. Once in a while he had to entertain his contractors and colleagues and usually he was drunk when he got home. I was very furious with him due to his bad drinking habit. We quarreled with each other very often and from time to time we did not speak to each other for weeks. Our relationship turned bad and whenever we had some dispute the word "DIVORCED" would slip out from my mouth and he couldn’t tolerate with my attitude.

We were very fortunate to have his classmate who practiced qigong in Tai Ji Men and through his recommendation we both joined Tai Ji Men. Before joining Tai Ji Men, I had stiff shoulder and could not sleep well at night. I consulted a lot of doctors, took a lot of medicines and it did not help much. Of course there were some other health problems, such as my leg used to cramp in the middle of the night which made my mood very unstable the next day. Most of the time I would throw a tantrum on my husband, spoke sharp words to hurt him. And if anything that did not go my way I would burst my temper. I was a headstrong and stubborn type of person, impatient, full of negative thinking and I didn’t show appreciation or kindness to my husband.

Through practicing Tai Ji Men Qigong I regain my health. In addition, I have more positive thinking and become tender and soft increasingly. I feel so great that I have more smiling face than before. One day my husband came home and told me that he had his dinner with client, surprisingly I was not mad with him at all. In turn, I responded to him by looking at his face and said never mind. Before joining Tai Ji Men, I would nag, raise my tone and complained without caring for his feeling. But, now, I don’t burst my temper at all. Instead, I care more of his feeling.

My Shifu, Dr. Hong Tao-tze, taught me Tai Ji Men philosophy of Yin and Yang to cultivate my heart and help me think positively, look on the bright side when things happen and be happy. By practicing my Shifu’s words in real life, I found that I was happier than before. Since then, my relationship with my husband is better and better. I start to reflect myself, learn to respect and spread kindness to whomever I meet. It is really wonderful. Before joining Tai Ji Men, I tortured myself. But now, I am different. I become a better person with love in the heart instead of hatred. Under guidance of Shifu, we have a happy marriage and love each other more than before.

I was also very fortunate to travel 5 continents with Shifu leading the cultural goodwill group to promote love and peace. It was really a splendid experience especially I am just a full time housewife.
