Luckily for her, she found an effective way that helped her overcome all her health problems in a very short time. What was the method she discovered? Find out in this sharing by Sharon.
Hi, I’m Sharon Chan. I am from Singapore. I was a teacher for over 30 years. Back in 2011, I was about 45 years old then. I started having pain around my neck and shoulders. A year later, I actually woke up one day with the left side of my arm frozen. So my left hand was fixed like this.
I couldn’t use my hand to dress myself or button. I went to the doctor and the doctor diagnosed me with frozen shoulders. I was given painkiller medication and physiotherapy. I also sought for alternative treatments like TCM, Tuina, but it didn’t help much. It was very miserable. As a result of all of these medication, in 2014, I started to have GERD.
So this GERD caused me to have constant cough, sore throat and also heartburn. Sometimes I would wake up in the middle of the night in pain. In 2015, I started to have urinary and bowel incontinence. So there were times where I actually disgraced myself in public. And this carried on until finally in 2015 the doctor diagnosed me as having cervical spondylosis.
Turns out that it was the root cause of all my health issues. So he told me that there was actually no cure, unless I opt for surgery. But the surgery says that there is only 50% of success. So either after the surgery, I get cured, I can live like a normal person, or I become a vegetable for life.
I did not opt for the surgery. So my dosage of my pain relief medications from NSAIDS, it went up to opiates and I have to take as much as about 13 pills a day. It is like living hell. Why is this happening to me? I’m still so young, but why am I like that?
In 2016, I chanced upon the Bodhi Meditation magazine. As I flipped over, this sentence “8.5 days Health and Happiness Retreat” struck me. On the first day of the class, we were introduced to Meditation of Greater Illumination or MGI for short. I could only lift my hands up to 50% when I tried to do MGI. And on the third day I remembered,
I was very surprised myself that I could actually lift my hands all the way up 100%. On the 5th day, when I went home that night, I was sleeping and then I remembered feeling a sudden ray of light that was so bright. My pain slowly and slowly started to reduce. I felt so peaceful. My whole body was so relaxed that I actually slept so well throughout the whole night.
And then next morning, when I wake up on the 6th day, I was so happy and pain free. I don’t even have any pain. I was finally able to actually bend my left hand behind my back. It was then that I realized that I am actually cured of my frozen shoulders. From day 6 onwards, I realized that I don’t have acid reflux, heartburn
nor do I need to wake up in the middle of the night at all. That was when I literally dropped any form of medication that was given to me. The feeling was really wonderful. After the class ended, I continued to practice 30 minutes of MGI every day. After about three months, I realized that my bowel and urinary incontinence has actually disappeared.
I was able to control my bowel movement. I don’t have to worry about going out and looking for toilets. I actually start to live like a normal person and I find myself getting healthier and happier every day. No words could actually express my deepest gratitude to Grandmaster JinBodhi. Life is really worth living now. Thank you so much Grandmaster JinBodhi.
Thank you.
