“Two years ago I really realised who I am, and what I can do in this world. The reason for this was my previous job was as a judge in China, I had quite a lot of complicated tasks and cases, and all this has shocked myself and my whole believing system. So, I got depression five years ago. 

I decided to resign from my job and move to a new environment. So, I went to New Zealand, and I started my master of global business programs and AUT university but during the study I still suffered from depression. So, even though I graduated from university my condition, physical condition was still not that good, and also the mind condition, I still have some problems with that. I try to go to my GP to look for some solutions, but they can’t really help me. They said most of my problems come from my mind. So, they can’t really help me. So, I tried to look for some natural therapy. During this process I met my master, he’s a very good acupuncture practitioner, and he also had a clinic in Birkenhead Road. So, I started to have treatment for three months. Quite a long process treatment, and during this process I started to communicate with myself, and to realise myself, and this is something I hadn’t done before, because I used to focus on the people and the friends outside of myself. During this process I started to look for my inner-self, and I was also working as a volunteer in his clinic, because I thought that was a really good thing to do, during this process. I was helping people too because quite a lot of people had the same condition as me. So, I started to work there, and to communicate with people there. It’s very interesting. You meet different kinds of people, and they’ve got different kinds of problems, and all of these problems have a root. They can’t really recognise who they are and what they really value. Because the whole world and the universe gives us so much, but what can we do for the people around us, for this environment around us?  People are always confused about this problem. 

So, I started CTM. Chinese Traditional Medicine, acupuncture with my master, because all these treatments can help the people to reduce the stress on your body. After this, I found out the patients that were getting the treatment were getting better, but after a few weeks or a few months they come back with the same problem. So, I started thinking, why do they come back for the same problem? So, I tried to talk with them. The first problem was their lifestyle. They didn’t change their lifestyle, and the second one is they didn’t change their way of thinking, they were not focusing on their inner-self. So, I want to solve this problem, I want to help them. So I did quite a lot of research. Yeah, and it’s quite interesting. I found a video about a philosopher in USA. He has a theory about vibration, talking about all people, all materials, all the things inside this world, as vibration. People have this vibration, and go through different vibration. The negative energy will lower your body’s own vibration and the positive energies will raise up your own vibration. I thought that was very interesting. That is why people have got some religions, and why some people have very kind hearts. They can have a very happy life, and they can suffer less pain, and it is all linked together. So, I went to Nepal to study yoga philosophy. The tradition of yoga philosophy with a monk, and with my yoga master, in India. He’s an Indian, but he opened a yoga school in Nepal, Kathmandu. So, I stayed there for around two months to study, and during this process I really recognised what I can do. I can use what I have already learned to help people, to offer my knowledge to people. People have the same conditions as me. People suffer from the mind problem and the body’s problems the same as me. I think that is when I realised what I can do to help people. So, I feel like it’s what I am now.

First of all, I practice yoga every day. Because yoga can make me healthy, and it can help me to calm down, because every day I meet different kinds of patients. They’ve got different kinds of problems, and actually you communicate with them, and you will absorb their negative energy, and that is how it works. They come to talk to you, and you help them to solve their problems, but if you’re not careful you will absorb their negative energy, so you need to get away, to relieve all those energies. So, I will do yoga practice and meditation every day and another important thing is I think I am very satisfied with my current job helping people. That is the, the biggest support for me to do all the things today.”
