By a Dafa practitioner from North Carolina, U.S.A

(Clearwidsom.net) At 8:00 a.m. on February 28, 2004, I finished my chores and was ready to go to a Health Expo, where local practitioners had organized to demonstrate the exercises.

Just then, my daughter suddenly felt a sharp pain in her abdomen. The pain was so severe that she had to lie on her stomach on the bed. In a rush, I poured her a cup of hot water, took it over to her and said, "Come, take a sip of hot water, you may feel better." As I was about to help her sit up, she screamed, "Mom! Don't touch me." She lay on the bed, face down, in great pain and did not dare to make a single move.

I thought this was very strange. It happened just when my daughter was about to leave for work and I was going to the Health Expo for the Falun Gong exhibition. I thought it could be interference from another dimension. So I said to my daughter, "My dear, although you do not practice Falun Gong, you have read articles on Clearwidsom.net that many non-practitioners can get well if they silently say 'Falun Gong is good' and the words of 'Truthfulness-Benevolence-Tolerance'. Whether you think it is true or not, you may want to give it a try and ask our Teacher to help you. In the meantime, I will send forth righteous thoughts as well." My daughter agreed.

I sat down, concentrated and started sending forth righteous thoughts with a peaceful mind. About ten minutes later, I opened my eyes and saw that my daughter was sitting there in the lotus position. She looked at me with a smile and showed no sign of the earlier symptom. She asked me, "Mom, do you know when I got better?" "No," I said. "I felt better the moment you sat down to send forth righteous thoughts." She was very excited and kept saying, "This is a miracle and you simply can't refuse to accept it, even if you want to." Later she stood quietly in front of Teacher's portrait and expressed her gratitude to Teacher.

She has been telling her experience to so many people. I truly experienced the power of righteous thoughts.
