I feel as if Calligraphy had been with me since I was a child. I remember myself doing “flowing ribbon” often when my parents would go out and there was nobody home. Except I called it differently.
Coming home
When I was alone I imagined I was a sea anemone (just like a jellyfish Master Yang always talks about) and I moved as if I was underwater. This movement inspired me to bits.
As I attended dance classes for most of my life since I was six, I started to believe myself to be the slowest dancer ever. While many others were balls of fire, I loved practicing opening my fist for five minutes and “digging” into the movement as I believed there was some deep philosophy to the simplest of moves. Around 25 years later I found the value of my approach in Calligraphy Health practice – it made me feel as if I was “home” again. This home is something I’ve fallen in love with.
Keeping my head above water
Calligraphy Health found its way to me during one of the hardest periods of my life. I barely slept for 2,5 years being woken up ten times a night by my younger son. I was stuck at home alone with two small children for 1,5 years when they (or I should say “we”) got sick one time after the other. I also suffered physical pain and heavy migraines and went through an emotional rollercoaster every single day. The only time to leave it all behind was once, or at most, twice a week when I went to a Calligraphy Health class in my home town. This felt like finally having my head above water and being able to breathe. Only to go back home and go underwater again.
During this time I was diagnosed with a 3 cm ventral hernia qualifying for immediate surgery. Yet I neither felt like being chopped up nor had time to go to hospital. So I just kept practising my Calligraphy Health. After half a year the rupture narrowed by 0,5 cm, the next half a year by another 0,5 cm. Then a chance came to do some Part 3 training with Master.
Dreams come true
But Part 3 training with Master in Poland seemed like it wasn’t meant to happen for me ~ I had ABSOLUTELY NO CHANCE of getting there ~ I was in a hospital ward with my son, I had nobody to take care of my kids and I had no money. Yet it did ~ I was still in hospital when on the very last day before the course started it just happened.
One of my biggest dreams came true. I attended Part 3 training with Master in Poland and I eventually closed the rupture during this training. I am totally grateful for Master and his teachings that literally saved my life. The online trainings are a true blessing as well. Whenever I have contact with him it deepens my practice and the understanding of it. Thank you Master Yang.
Now I hold my own classes in Grodzisk Mazowiecki, Poland as well as online. Calligraphy Health also forms the foundation of an online program I’ve created that includes life coaching sessions, group meetings and addresses people who suffer from stress, anxiety and depression.
