(Minghui.org) Kai from Austria said that when he closed his eyes and followed Falun Dafa practitioners to do the exercises, not only did he feel energy, his tense muscles relaxed and his back straightened. When he saw practitioners demonstrate the exercises at Europe’s largest Naturopathic Medicine Expo, he decided to join them.
The 18th Southern Naturopathic Medicine Expo (Heilpraktikerkongress des Südens) was held at the Munich Event Center (MOC, Event Center Messe München) on July 5, 2025. This is Europe’s largest naturopathic medicine expo, a specialty expo for naturopathic physicians, physician trainees, pharmacists, and other healthcare professionals.
The German Professional Association of Naturopathic Physicians and Naturopathic Practitioners (BDHN e. V.), one of the largest such associations in Germany, organized the event. The Association was established in Bavaria and is highly regarded. Falun Dafa practitioners were invited to participate in this year’s expo, where the peaceful music and exercises attracted visitors’ attention.
Practitioners were invited to particpate in the 18th Southern Naturopathic Medicine Expo in the Munich Event Centeron July 5.

“Never Thought I’d be Able to Feel the Effects Immediately”
Kai said he felt great after he did the Falun Dafa exercises.
Kai came to the expo to learn naturopathic therapy because his back and hand muscles are very stiff. He was very interested and followed a practitioner to do the Falun Dafa exercises.
“This feels very good. Of course, it was a little difficult at the start because I was not familiar with it. I believe that if you really put yourself into it, you will feel a sense of comfort and inner peace.” Kai also said that all the noise at the expo made it hard for him to relax. “Apart from that, I feel that this [Falun Dafa] is very good. I felt the energy when I did the exercises.”
Kai also said that, while his back and hand muscles had always been very stiff, “Now they feel more relaxed. As I was doing the exercises, my back seemed to straighten. I feel like I was being pulled inward. When I closed my eyes and tried to focus a bit, I felt the stiffness in my muscles disappearing. That feeling has always been there, but it disappeared once I started doing the exercises.”
Regarding Falun Dafa’s principles of Truthfulness, Compassion, and Forbearance, Kai said they are, “Very good. I’ve always wanted to meditate and often searched online for related information. I find this [Falun Dafa] very interesting. I feel that those principles are very good. Not only that, it is free of charge and one can do the exercises any time, anywhere. I already felt the effects during this short introduction. I never thought that I’d be able to feel the effects immediately.”
Kai bought a copy of Falun Dafa’s main book, Zhuan Falun, and a practitioner gave him information about the free online classes.
People Are Searching for a True Way to Cultivate
Practitioner Harald (first on the right) described his cultivation experiences to an expo visitor.
Harald spoke with many people at the expo. One of them was Füssen from Bavaria, Germany, who had seen Shen Yun. She said that she’d felt energy in her body when she was watching Shen Yun perform, and she felt that same energy at the expo. She thanked practitioners for sharing information about Falun Dafa.
Harald said, “I can sense that people are looking for the truth, just as I once did. One woman recently spent a week alone in a mountain pasture, hoping to find something sacred in the beauty and tranquility of nature. A young man tried meditation but could not find peace.
“I tell people that Falun Dafa’s Master Li taught us that Truthfulness, Compassion, and Forbearance are the characteristics of the universe, and they exist in all matter. These characteristics form our original true nature.” Harald then tells them about his own cultivation experiences. “I realized that these people are starting to want to know the truth and realized that what Master Li Hongzhi is teaching is true cultivation, which can help them to find the truth. I hope they will continue to read Zhuan Falun after they return home.”
Reporter Decides Not to Go to China
Visitors talk with Falun Dafa practitioners
A German reporter spoke with a practitioner at the booth for a long time. She was very interested in learning about the Chinese Communist Party’s (CCP) forced organ harvesting that targets practitioners. She said the CCP had invited her to go to China on a tour and write reports praising the CCP. Before the trip, she happened to see a movie about the CCP’s illegal organ harvesting. This cast a shadow over her, and she wondered if she should accept the invitation to go to China.
After speaking with a practitioner, she decided not accept the invitation, because the CCP’s persecution of Falun Dafa alarmed her.
A German woman who had gone to China to study traditional Chinese Medicine told a practitioner that China is increasingly becoming a country that strictly monitors people. She said she no longer travels to China because cameras are everywhere. She was happy to speak with the practitioner and was intrigued by Falun Dafa. She said that she would recommend Falun Dafa during her own seminar during the expo.
After a Swiss lady read a Falun Dafa flyer, she came over and wanted to know why such a beneficial thing like Falun Dafa, which is based on of Truthfulness, Compassion and Forbearance, is subjected to such brutal persecution by the CCP in China. After talking to a practitioner she wanted to learn more about Falun Dafa. Before she left she told the practitioner that she knew nothing about Falun Dafa before this and she was very grateful to the practitioner for providing her with all this information. She hopes to learn more about Falun Dafa.
