Practicing the Exercises Becomes Even More Important During Pregnancy By a young practitioner, Huahua, in Taiwan (compiled by Huahua's mother)
(Clearwisdom.net) When mother was pregnant, she often found excuses and
practiced the exercises only occasionally. Out of the blue, little practitioner
Huahua told mother solemnly, "Mother, you need to make a decision. What you
are doing is really bothering the little baby. The baby first gets to spend time
in the new home and then it's back to the old home. You keep moving back and
forth. He doesn't know where he is going to live." Since mother was
confused by this, Huahua explained, "You practice the exercises for a
while, then you stop practicing. When you practice the exercises you are in the
new home, and when you don't, you are back in the old home." Finally,
mother understood that she would be giving birth to a new life in the new
cosmos. Since that time, mother persisted in practicing the whole five sets of
exercises despite her big belly. When she is holding the Law Wheel, her arms
feel light, and not sore at all. It is not difficult and we will all certainly
be able to do it, if we can just calm our minds and strengthen our main
consciousness. Huahua knew that if mother did not cultivate, she would be following the
arrangements made for an ordinary person and she might have a severe hemorrhage
during labor or be bedridden forever. We have to reject the old force's
arrangements. A cultivator's life has been changed and we are following the path
arranged by Teacher. The first thing Huahua does upon returning home from school is to ask mother
if she has studied the Fa well, practiced the complete five sets of
exercises, and has sent forth righteous thoughts regularly. This is necessary
because the "weak" practitioners are easy targets. If a pregnant woman
maintains strong righteous thoughts, the old forces will not dare to persecute
her. May 9, 2005 Posting date: 6/8/2005 |
