Although it did not affect the way I live, I suffer occasional pains.<\/p>\n<p>A year ago, the disc on my waist suddenly burst out and I was hospitalized for a month to undergo traction therapy. I wanted to return to work as soon as possible so the doctor injected a long, thin needle into my waist to detach the disc pressing against my nerves. It helps me recover and I was able to return to work.<\/p>\n<p>A month passed, my back started aching again. It was almost impossible for me to go out or move around. Because of severe pain, I considered having surgery, but my parents suggested, \u201cSince you are on leave right now, let&#8217;s do intensive meditation instead of going to the hospital.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>So my mother, father, uncle, brothers, sisters, and I meditated together. They also prayed for my recovery, bowed on my behalf. Suhosanim Lim, Sung-ho, who is also an oriental medicine doctor, treated me with herbs and acupuncture.<\/p>\n<p>My condition did not improve after three weeks. As soon as I felt well, the pain would return. The pain was so severe that I was unable to walk or sit properly. Again, I considered surgery. But after four weeks of meditation, the symptoms got better. I could sit a bit longer and even walk for a short distance, but the pain still remained.<\/p>\n<p>By that time, I attended the Busan Regional Gunlyeong which was conducted by His Holiness the Jongdosanim.<\/p>\n<p>After the lecture from His Holiness the Taesang Jongdosanim, my back pain became worse to the point that I could not sit down anymore. I moved to a female resident room to lie down for a bit. A few minutes later, I return to the sacred shrine to attend the lecture and dynamic meditation. Since there was no space left, I sat down near the corner of the entrance.<\/p>\n<p>At first, I consoled myself by saying, \u201cYes, I will get all the blessings of dynamic meditation to cure my back today.\u201d I tried to move around as much as I can but the space was too narrow for dynamic meditation so I did it weakly.<\/p>\n<p>But gradually, I was overwhelmed by the thought &#8216;I shouldn&#8217;t be acting this way&#8217;. I stood up and started to tap here and there all over my body, eventually moving to my waist. Using my entire body, I practiced dynamic meditation as if I was dancing.<\/p>\n<p>The disc in my lower back was broken so my hip bone was twisted while part of my tail bone felt stiff as a board. So it was unimaginable for me to walk with my back straight, spin my waist, and jump. I moved my body as if I was dancing used some yoga postures.<\/p>\n<p>Eventually, I managed to jump up and down. I kept jumping with my hands stretched toward the sky and continued tapping my body, dancing like a ballet dancer.<\/p>\n<p>My entire body felt warm that I started to sweat. I almost lost my mind practicing dynamic meditation. Suddenly, I felt a gentle breeze blowing on my back and tailbone (but it was not as cold as you would expect from the air-conditioner behind me). It was such a cool pleasant feeling. My stiff waist and hips felt more relaxed and that feeling persisted until the end of dynamic meditation.<\/p>\n<p>After meditation, the pain in my waist and hips disappeared. In the past, I couldn&#8217;t imagine my back rocking back and forth. Now I am able to sit and move my back without experiencing any pain. It is really amazing.<\/p>\n<p>I shared my experience to show my gratitude to His Holiness the Jongdosanim, who honored us with his visit to Busan and bestowed the great Qi of dynamic meditation.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I have herniated discs on my neck and waist for a long time.
