Mia Lee | New York, USA
Thirteen years ago, she sprained her back, and from then on suffered daily pain so severe she couldn’t stand up straight.
Doctors said the only solution was surgery, but she didn’t dare — she endured in silence.
What tormented her even more was 18 years of unbearable ear itching at night, often waking her from sleep.
Then she attended a Bodhi Meditation Health and Happiness Retreat — and everything took a miraculous turn!
Mia Lee’s Meditation Story
Hello, my name is Mia Lee. Thirteen years ago, while on a business trip, I twisted my back. Since that injury, I couldn’t straighten my back when I got up in the morning. After more than 20 minutes, I could slowly straighten up.
Five years ago, I suffered from severe back pain again. I was bedridden for over two weeks. I had to lie down to eat. When my back hurt, I feared climbing stairs the most. I went to the hospital. The doctor said that the nerve between my fourth and fifth vertebrae was pinched. The doctor said surgery was needed to reduce pain. But I was too afraid. So, I went for physical therapy and electrotherapy every week.
I also have another condition; my ears itch badly. It’s been over 18 years. Every day, when the sun sets, my ears itched intensely. The doctor gave me two kinds of medicine, and also ear drops for the itching. But nothing worked. Because of the itching, I often woke up scared at 2:30 a.m. from the itch. It really troubled me; life felt so hard.
(Discovering Bodhi Meditation)
On the sixth day of the retreat, Grandmaster performed an energy healing. Afterwards, during the closing, when I slowly bent forward, I heard a crack. My entire back felt warm and really good. The next morning, I got out of bed and stood without support. I didn’t need to support my back while I stood; it was so easy. From that moment until now, my back has never hurt again. Now, I’m not afraid of stairs anymore. I even rush to help carry things for others. I’m really happy.
The morning after the retreat ended, my ears felt like there were bubbles popping. My ears cleared and I could hear sounds again. Since that time, the itching in my ears has disappeared.
I learned the GI meditation from Grandmaster, and my headaches of over 20 years are also gone. Now I can pat my head without any problem. There is no pain at all. It feels really good.
I am grateful to Grandmaster JinBodhi. His meditation practice is easy to learn, and it improves our physical and mental health.
(After practicing Bodhi Meditation, my back pain is gone. My ears no longer itch. My 20 years of headaches vanished.)
