The Body and Mind are Rectified When Fa Teachings are Followed

(Minghui.org) I inadvertently discovered last year that I was twisting my body toward the right when I did the sitting meditation. Sometimes, if I didn’t pay attention, my body would topple toward the right side. After I saw this problem, I decided to look within to correct my mind before performing the sitting meditation again.

Master told us:

“The body is kept upright and relaxed.” (“Chapter III Mechanics and Principles of the Exercise Movements,” The Great Way of Spiritual Perfection)

I failed to follow Master Li’s instruction, especially in regard to the word “kept.”

I knew that I had to make changes. Later when I meditated, I double-crossed my legs, purposely turned slightly toward the left, and mindfully stayed in the upright position like Master said.

The next question was how to keep my body in the upright position. After I recited the verses for the fifth exercise, I frequently reminded myself what Master said:

“Don’t let it move, that’s how it must be. You should relax naturally.” (“Teaching the Fa and Answering Questions in Zhengzhou,” Explaining the Teachings of Zhuan Falun)

After a while, my spine hurt and the pain became unbearable. I repeatedly told myself to maintain the upright position.

After I finished the hour-long exercise, my physical body was rectified. From then on when I meditated, I could easily stay in the upright position without feeling discomfort. I thank Master for helping me.

Master said:

“Dafa can rectify any abnormal condition.” (“Teachings at the Conference in the Eastern U.S.”)

My body was rectified as soon as I followed Master’s instruction.

I later saw that quite a few practitioners have the same problem; some of them even had a severe hunchback. I found them and exercised with them. When we did the sitting meditation, I shared my experience and understanding with them, and reminded them to listen to Master, “The body is kept upright and relaxed.” I encouraged them to stay in the upright position and not move.

Everyone listened to me, and stayed still no matter how their bodies hurt. After the sitting meditation, everyone’s body was rectified. They cried, and repeatedly thanked Master Li. This experience helped them become more determined to do well in validating the Fa and saving more people.
