True healing, according to Maarten van Opstal, means to liberate yourself from any burden. In today’s Qigong podcast, Maarten explains how ancestral healing became his pathway to understanding how his kidney failure connected to a larger family story.
Generational trauma affects us more deeply than we realize, as demonstrated through Maarten's powerful healing journey. After receiving a kidney transplant, mind body healing transformed his perspective, leading him from purely physical recovery to a deeper emotional awakening. The mind body spirit connection through Zhineng Qigong opened his eyes to a fundamental truth: we cannot separate our physical, emotional, and energetic aspects, they are all one.
Accepting his physical limitations was a gateway to deeper healing, while genetic inheritance showed itself not just in physical features, but in the way he processed emotions. Through oneness in Qigong, when leading with acceptance, there's a particular wholeness and peace in any situation. Another key principle of the Qigong practice: having an open heart and open mind - a healing transformation occurred when he finally accepted his body completely, acknowledging both the blessings and challenges inherited from his ancestral line. His acceptance is a culmination of his work with Qigong and his exploration of the relationship between his ancestors and his own energy being.
Finding life purpose through healing emerged as Maarten discovered that true liberation means freeing oneself from ancestral burdens. Zhineng Qigong and Chinese medicine healing principles helped him understand that his body's story started long before his birth. Maarten's story underscores the significance of holistic healing, which encompasses not just the physical but also the mental and emotional dimensions.
By integrating Qigong, Chinese Medicine and his background in psychology, Maarten achieved a deeper sense of peace and gratitude in his life. Tune in to hear his story.
