"Each session gives me the energy I need to make my daily life"

With the greatest joy I am taking the time to share with you my personal experience about this wonderful Quest. 

Since a longer time I believe in no coincidences but in determinations. On 26.08 early in the morning I received the email of taking the quest. On the same day at about 16:00 CET a tsunami has hit my heart and the heart of our family. We received the news from the doctor that my father-in-law, our beloved father is sick with leukemia. The doctor was very compassionate towards my father-in-law. Next to him, he spoke of a first blood disease. To me, he put the result of the examination in my hand with the hint to read the medical term, as a Greek I should understand. I do not wish anyone, the tsunami of feelings that overwhelmed me when I read this word. My breathing stopped for some time. I still managed to catch myself, to be there for my father-in-law. Now was not the time to think of me, but, of him and our family. I realized my responsibility to be strong for him and our family. How was I going to bring this message home. What words should I choose to calm the tsunami and make room in our hearts for faith and hope? 

The next few days I was able to compose myself. My daily routine of meditations and what I learned from the many important quests last year through Mindvalley, carried me over the waves. I was able to support myself and the family.

But my greatest gift was waiting for me. On August 30, I began the Qi Gong Quest. I feel as though this quest came as a perfect gift for me to lift me up through this difficult time. Each session gives me the energy I need to make my daily life, to catalyze the pain I face and fill every day positively. Lee is a particularly gifted teacher. His words and explanations are balm for my soul and mind. The structure and system of the teaching units are very well thought out.

I want to express my gratitude and admiration for this quest so far to all the members of the Mindvalley community. The Qi-Gong Practice is now part of my daily Life.
