Anyez Rosales (now Anyez Cheung) shares her testimony:
Here is the text:
For the past 5 years, I had been having issues with my liver, suffered candida, and had lower back and neck pains. My eyes were constantly bloodshot red. People thought I was tired or stoned all the time. My candida was so bad that it broke out into my skin and had constant itching and eczema. It was so bad that I was unconsciously scratching while sleeping that I would wake up bleeding. I couldn’t walk for more than an hour before my back would be so sore and would have to sit down and rest. Sitting in front of the computer all day, every day, gave me lower back and neck pain. Driving home for the 1-hour commute and then standing in the kitchen to cook dinner was a real struggle.
My eye doctor suggested I get eye surgery and have plugs put in my eyes. My medical doctor diagnosed me with a skin disease. I just didn’t believe them so I sought alternative treatments and for 4 years saw acupuncturists, stayed on strict diets, and spent over $4,000. Unfortunately, the issues were never healed, but instead only managed. The last acupuncturist I saw diagnosed my liver as being damaged from all the antibiotics, birth control, alcohol, and processed foods I had eaten all of my life.
After taking the Secrets of Natural Walking Workshop, I practiced every day for only 30 minutes to an hour a day. My diligence was surprising because I was never able to get into the habit of exercising regularly before. More than I’ve ever felt in years, I started feeling stronger and more energized. The only thing I did was Natural Walking and after only 2 weeks, I could no longer walk the old way. After 6 weeks, my posture straightened and I felt taller. When walking up a flight of stairs, I no longer got winded. Even sitting at my desk all day, I felt no back or neck pain at all! Normally if I went shopping for over 2 hours straight, I would have lower back pain, but this time I actually felt more energized with each step. I no longer had pain and didn’t need to take a break by sitting down. After measuring myself, I realized that I had lost 4 centimeters off my waist and hips, my left and right leg became the same size, and my breasts became fuller.
It has been 3 months since taking the workshop and I’m still practicing every day and loving it. My candida is gone, no itching, no eczema, and my eyes are clear. Old bumps/scars from the itching have disappeared. My posture has improved so much and my shoulders are straight now. Now I can have bread, sugars and some caffeine without any side effects. I am feeling healthier than I have ever felt in a very long time. My whole body feels stronger, so energized, and so much happier overall!

There is no "Key 0" in SONW
If you listen to the SONW 1 hour Level 1 practice tape, the founder starts out instructing us in Key 2. This means that we start the tape with our position in Key 1.
Much more lateral weight shift is required to move into Key 1 if you start your practice with your feet side by side with the weight evenly balanced. This is because when you transition from Key 6 to 1 you have a foot swinging forward to counterbalance the lateral weight shift. If you start your practice in "Key 0" to transition to Key 1, there is no foot swinging from Key 6 to 1 to provide counterbalance to the lateral weight shift.
The Tai Chi classics mandate that one stand at all times with the weight unevenly distributed.
Because the feet/hips are supposed to swing forward and parallel, meaning that the feet should track a straight line forward, much like railroad tracks. If you lean more laterally getting into key 1 then you will need to swing the foot forward differently to plant it properly.
The reason you start in key 5 is so that your body weight has dropped into the Earth. This is very important. if your body is holding up your body weight, then you will need to shift laterally. But if the Earth has your body weight, then much less lateral shift is required. We can hear Founder state this here:
Now of course, once you get good you can start in Key 0 with no problem as you can see Krissan Iskandar doing here.

What should we do?
Start in Key 5!!!!

But if the Earth has your body weight, then much less lateral shift is required. We can hear Founder state this here:If you don't drop your body weight to the Earth, a lot of times your body weight will go to the right or to the left, so people sway.Never start in "Key 0" (which does not exist and never was taught) and try to transition to Key 1.
Now of course, once you get good you can start in Key 0 with no problem as you can see Krissan Iskandar doing here.

Smile, anal and shoulder relaxation
I took SONW Level 1 on Feb 2. For the first few weeks, if I did not smile while practicing, I could not handle all the earth energy surging upwards through me.
Now, today: I am realizing that I do not need to clinch my anus to do this practice. And I can keep my shoulders relaxed as well.

After 14 days of not practicing, this morning was great.
I woke up and watched " Dont believe in Gravity " by Flat Earth Man. After that I was convinced there was no such thing as gravity...

Keys 1-5 involve the legs being activated --- neither relaxed or locked out. I noticed today that my legs were not taut, so I made sure that...
