(Minghui.org) Practitioners held an event to introduce Falun Dafa and teach the exercises at the Ecological Life Center in the Kadıköy Municipality on February 16, 2025. The event drew a greater response than practitioners expected.

Some people drove three hours to participate in the event. Several people who had attended previous events held by practitioners said they would send an email to the municipality to hold events more frequently.

More than 40 people attended an event at the Ecological Life Center on February 16, 2025.

Experiencing the Peace of Practicing the Exercises

Ms. Orge wishes to continue practicing Falun Dafa.

Ms. Orge, an IT specialist, came from Silivri. “I felt a calm and peace. Some things were knotted in my mind, I felt like they were being untied. I’ve tried different meditations, but this one gave a completely different feeling, and I’d like to continue practicing Falun Dafa.”

Ms. Bala likes Falun Dafa.

Ms. Bala is an architect and has done Pilates for years. “I have a problem with slowing down, and my pilates teacher always tells me to slow down. For the first time, I felt like I was slowing down with Falun Dafa. It gave me peace, and I felt very good.”

Ms. Gülsün

Ms. Gülsün said, “Even though I had difficulty with some movements, I continued. I have a herniated disc, and while doing the exercises, I felt energy in that area. It was as if it was healing that area. It felt good. Thank you.”

Ms. Elif hopes practitioners hold the event twice a month.

Ms. Elif Özdoğan is a teacher and said this is the second time she has done the exercises: “I couldn’t adapt very well the first time. But the second time was magnificent, very beautiful. I’d like to do them every 15 days, not once a month. This is a wonderful event. It is as if everything has been recreated in my mind. I felt a surge of energy. It was wonderful, very beautiful. Thank you.’’

One of the participants told practitioners, “I’m a retired bank manager. This was the first time I did the Falun Dafa exercises. I was impressed, and I saw a blue light, a purple light—like a third eye. I was very happy. I believe my body was thanking me.”
