An Observer Sees a Halo and Encourages Me in My Exercises

By Yu Xiaohong

(Clearwisdom.net) After my mother-in-law was hospitalized, I traveled home that New Year to take care of her. I chatted and took leisurely walks with her in the hospital to cheer her up, and I also read Falun Dafa books and did the exercises when she slept. One morning when she was still asleep, I put on earphones and readied myself for exercises, while trying not to disturb others.

As I meditated, an older lady, who occupied a hospital bed next to my mother-in-law, chatted with her daughter. After I finished the exercises, the hospital ward was very quiet. When I opened my eyes, I saw that my mother-in-law and the older lady were both asleep and the daughter was sitting there quietly watching me. I smiled at her and gave her a bookmark that had a lovely little girl doing the exercise and a banner in the background reading, "Falun Dafa is good."

She smiled and said to me, "Did you just do the same exercises?" "Yes," I said.

She said to me happily, "I could feel it."

I asked her, "Did you sense it? I used earphones and didn't let out any sound."

She said, "When you did the exercises, I saw a halo coming out of you. That halo made me feel very comfortable and peaceful."

We both smiled. It was the first time I had talked to her, yet we felt close, even without exchanging the usual greetings. She saw I was holding the book Zhuan Falun in my hand and took it from me like an old friend. After reading a few pages, she said, "It is not hard to comprehend." She had originally imagined Zhuan Falun was abstruse and hard to understand, so she could not hide her joy after reading it.

I told her my personal experience, that I was once weak and fragile, which led to frequent illnesses. Life seemed hopeless. My body was sensitive to many things. Even a small cut would swell up and emit pus, and take a long time to heal. When my mother took me to have my ears pierced, I suffered a lot of agony. Swimming class at school had also caused me a great deal of trouble, as swimming was a requirement and one must pass the course to graduate. My eyes were sensitive, and so I required medication to attend school. I also took painkillers for my long-lasting headaches. I was headstrong, ill-tempered, dejected, and pessimistic. After I began Dafa cultivation, a tremendous change took place in me. Dafa requires us to cultivate our minds, always consider others first and maintain peaceful minds. I become healthy, and now my life is full of hope.

I said to her, "You know we have white blood cells (leukocytes) in our blood. Leukocytes are the main defense mechanism in our body. Seventy percent of leukocytes are neutrophil, which does not divide and is short lived. Under normal circumstance, the half-life of neutrophil is only seven hours and its life is even shorter outside the human body. Even at low temperature they survive less than two or three hours. Therefore, bone marrow must produce neutrophil as fast as possible in order to make up for the loss. Infection due to bacteria or virus will increase if the neutrophil is reduced. Based on the lab result from an immunology specialist, the neutrophil of Falun Gong practitioners can survive sixty hours outside their body. Since I began practicing Falun Gong six years ago, I have never been to a doctor. Occasionally, when I have a common cold, a minor injury or a cut, I recover quickly. Those are the facts."

She kept smiling and said, "The halo truly comforted me. It is really very, very good."
