I am way toxic
2002-03-11 8:57 a.m.
I spent all weekend at the Jade Woman qigong seminar. The instructor, Madame Lui He was fantastic. Picture, if you will, a petite Chinese woman who is 30 but looks 20, sitting serenely in front of the class speaking broken English with a thick French accent. It was adorable.
Saturday night I couldn't sleep at all. I was exhausted and trembling but couldn't sleep. Sunday during class I thought I was going to throw up and was basically worthless last night. I also started getting sharp pains all over my body (lower back, kidneys and stomach) but at least I was able to sleep last night. A holistic healer told me it was all the toxins leaving my body and the chi blockages breaking up. I still feel spacey and like crap today. I thought this was suppose to make me feel good! I might call my qigong teacher and ask her what's going on with me.
The form we learned is very beautiful and there's a Chinese mantra we had to learn. Let me tell you, there's nothing funnier than a bunch of white women trying to speak Chinese. Madame Lui He thought we did very well and tried not to laugh too much at us. All in all it was a nice weekend even if I feel wiped out. I'm considering getting trained to be a qigong teacher. I need to practice some more and think about it. I don't think I'm getting all the "wu wu" benefits to be a very impressive instructor.
This Thursday I get to see the Shaolin Monks! I'm so excited. I also get to return to kung fu class as my knee is feeling better. I just have to make sure I don't over do it and blow it out again. Getting old sucks.
