(Minghui.org) After I got up on the morning of March 31, 2018, I felt discomfort in my face. I looked in the mirror, and was stunned to see that my mouth was crooked, my right eye could not close, and I had no sensation on the right side of my face. What was wrong; what had happened to my face during the night?
I recalled a fight with my husband two days before, when I turned into a foul-mouthed and ugly person, completely forgetting about the principles of Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance. I was full of resentment, aggression, and grievances. Isn’t my face a reflection of my state of mind back then?
My husband was shocked to see my face. Both he and our daughter tried to persuade me to go to the hospital. Knowing that this is a cultivation issue and I should resolve it by improving my character, I said I wouldn’t go. Concerned about me, my daughter said she would give me three days to get better, otherwise, she would take me to the hospital. I agreed.
I intensified my Fa study and increased the frequency of sending forth righteous thoughts. Fellow practitioners in the Fa study group also sent righteous thoughts for me. I refused to acknowledge the old forces’ interference. I also tried to use the right side of my face as much as possible, including reading the Fa out loud and chewing on the right side. Every meal would take me a long time to finish and I couldn’t eat much. In just seven days, I lost about ten pounds.
With Dafa’s protection, the recovery of my face was visible every day and everything returned to normal on the seventh day. My sister-in-law was amazed by how quickly I recovered. She said her friend with a similar problem was hospitalized for over a month and it still took him nearly six more months to fully recover. It was unbelievable that I recovered in just seven days!
