Learn the meditation practice of Falun Gong - now also online
Discover newfound energy, mental clarity and spiritual fulfillment
When COVID struck in 2020 the world came to a standstill. Not only that, feelings of immense stress and anxiety also became prevalent due to the lockdowns and the severity of COVID for many people. The world was in unknown territory.
Falun Gong, also known as Falun Dafa, is a spiritual practice that millions around the world have made a part of their lives. Rooted in Buddhist tradition, it consists of two main components: self-improvement through the study of teachings, and gentle exercises and meditation. (source: www.FalunDafa.org) There is no membership and is free to learn and open for anyone to learn.

Under the challenging circumstances of not being able to get outside to practice the gentle exercises of Falun Dafa or run group exercise sites where people can easily come to learn the practice, Falun Dafa practitioners in countries around the world, initially in Australia, India and North America, decided to start teaching the Falun Dafa exercises online. The goal was to help others to feel calmer and stress-free and to learn about the practice of Falun Dafa that has benefited many people, and has no costs associated - a rare thing in these modern times.
Many people who practice Falun Dafa have experienced great improvements with things including depression, anxiety, and various health ailments. (Please note, individual results will always differ) This is why many people who have benefited from the practice would like to share it with others free of charge. Those with no health difficulties also find great value in the practice, feeling a sense of fulfillment, mental clarity, positivity and energy. Many report needing to sleep less with no ill-effect, and others say their sleep quality has improved.
Thousands enjoy learning Falun Dafa online
With many benefits like this, the free online Falun Dafa classes have become very popular worldwide. The website to register for a free exercise class is www.learnfalungong.com So far, around 8,000 people have attended at least one online class.
Kalpana Lohani, Vice Principal of a school in Kathmandu, Nepal, attended a Free Online Falun Dafa Exercise Workshop held by Falun Dafa practitioners in India. She says, “Now, I do all five Falun Dafa exercises every morning. I feel calm, alert, and healthy. I sleep better,” she said. “I feel so good and fortunate that I heard about them (the Falun Dafa exercises).”
Even though COVID lockdowns have ceased, for many people living in remote areas, or who are unable to get to an in person exercise site, learning Falun Dafa online is still proving to be very popular. Therefore, the online classes have not only continued to develop, but expand to numerous languages including Vietnamese, Bengali, Kannada, Turkish, Russian, and Swedish.
