Beyond Beginners Zoom classes starting for 2022 this week
Blessings for the New Year to each and to all …
Beyond Beginners Zoom sessions start up again for 2022 this week … same days but a slightly later time …
Tuesdays for T’ai Chi Chih and Thursdays for Wisdom Healing Qigong … both from 2:00 – 3:30
These Beyond Beginners sessions are for anyone who has already done at least one full set of my 8-week classes. That would be especially important for Wisdom Healing Qigong because of its many different practices. There could be more flexibility on an individual basis with T’ai Chi Chih for someone who is very familiar and comfortable with the 20 movements from other sessions with me.
I will be exploring interest in Beginners classes on-line again for later in January. Details to follow later this week or early next week.
The Zoom link is the same … Zoom will be open 10 minute beforehand …

Christmas Break for T’ai Chi Chih and Wisdom Healing Qigong Zoom Sessions
Please note that this is our last week for our Beyond Beginners Zoom sessions for T’ai Chi Chih and Wisdom Healing Qigong until mid-January … T’ai Chi Chih on Tuesday, December 7th and Wisdom Healing Qigong on Thursday, December 9th, both from 1:30 – 3:00. Welcome, as always, as life and time allow. See you at 1:20/1:25 for a 1:30 start.
Please also note that we will resume T’ai Chi Chih in the New Year on Tuesday, January 11th and Wisdom Healing Qigong on Thursday, January 13th . NEW TIME will likely be 2:00 – 3:30 to accommodate time changes for Tuesday Chi-TV from the Chi Center, which several in our group are regularly a part of.
Another current Saturday Chi Center offering involving some of our group is soon moving to Thursday. To accommodate that, WHQ will also be 2:00 – 3:30 on Thursdays. I will keep you posted with a further Update after Christmas regarding the Winter session and whether there will be any additional classes being offered.

Fall 2021 Update
Still some Covid related wrinkles needing to be ironed out for our getting back to in-person T’ai Chi Chih and Wisdom Healing Qigong sessions at The Lantern for now for both Beginners and Beyond Beginners sessions, or at any other site such as Virginia Water for our Retreat Days.
Meanwhile, we have resumed our Beyond Beginners Zoom classes at our usual times … TCC on Tuesdays and WHQ on Thursdays, both from 1:30m – 3:00. Little or no interest was expressed in Zoom beginners classes for either. Happy to share my Zoom link for anyone who gets in touch for joining us. Same link for all my classes. Simply contact me at sheilaleonard@nf.sympatico.ca
Since I am leading these ZOOM sessions from home and have no facility costs, I am offering them for free. If you wish to make a donation, I would be quite happy if you would simply PAY FORWARD by making a donation of your time or your money as a kindness to someone or some group of your own choosing.
Let’s see what the rest of the Fall and Winter brings for getting back to in-person classes. If that works out, I shall continue to offer the Zoom as well since some who attend Zoom are from out of the area and some are even from out of the Province. We will need to adjust the times if we do both in-person and Zoom.
Allowing the Energy to lead the way …

10 consecutive days of free Wisdom Healing Qigong Zoom sessions
In September I had posted the good news about 10 consecutive days of free Wisdom Healing Qigong Zoom sessions with Master Mingtong Gu from Tuesday September 7th to Thursday/16th from 12:30 – 2:00 NL time. Were open to all, whether brand new or with previous experience.
More good news is that the replays continue to be available on The Chi Center You Tube Channel like our free Saturday noon Chi-TV practice sessions with our teachers, which are followed by a 15-minute meditation led either by the teacher that day or by Master Mingtong. Simply click on VIDEOS at the top of the You Tube page. All videos are then shown by date and in sequence. Lots of other videos there to explore as well, whether you are brand new to WHQ or a continuing learner and practitioner.
Continue to en-JOY them!

Familiar with T’ai Chi Chih and/or Wisdom Healing Qigong
and unable to continue to join us for practices?
I again invite you to do a practice on your own wherever you are, from what you might remember, and/or simply visualize all doing it together, perhaps even outside … can be quite lovely and powerful simply doing the visualization! There is also an abundance of practice links you can follow along with on my web site for both TCC and WHQ.
For T’ai Chi Chih, you can follow along using practice links here on my web site on my T’ai Chi Chih page by going directly to https://sheilaleonard.ca/what-is-tai-chi-chih/ and scrolling down just past the List of Moves to find several options for videos to practice along with … mine and some with other T’ai Chi Chih teachers, indoors and outside.
You can also find some single video practices with Justin Stone himself, the Originator of T’ai Chi Chih, for individual movements at https://justinstonetcc.com/videos/
For Wisdom Healing Qigong, you can Click here to go to my Wisdom Healing Qigong page and scroll almost to the end for a variety of practice links as well as simple videos to learn more about it and how it works. Master Mingtong Gu’s personal story is there also … called “The Journey and the Vision”. Quite amazing … one of the first ones there on the page. There is also a link there for a wonderful introductory practice called 100-Day Gong … much like what we would be doing at the start of a Beginners class … about 20 minutes long … or click here to go directly to the video on You Tube.
You will also find a number of links there to our free WHQ Saturday Chi-TV practice sessions which I had led, and sometimes other teachers lead them. You can use either the You Tube links or my Facebook links … see below in earlier post for more details re Chi-TV.
EnJOY each new day …

Saturday noon free Wisdom Healing Qigong Chi-TV sessions
continuing in the Fall
Chi-TV began as part of a Global Healing and Transformation initiative by Master Mingtong Gu in April 2020 as Covid-19 spread rapidly around the globe, no one dreaming where it would amazingly take us now in 2021 and perhaps beyond.
Good News! Wisdom Healing Qigong/Chi Center’s free Chi-TV sessions will be continuing throughout 2021 on Saturdays … 8:30am Mountain Time … which is noon here in NL. There will be a 30-minute teacher-led practice session followed by 3-5 minutes of integrative free dance and then a 15 – minute meditation session with Master Mingtong Gu or with the teacher leading the practice that day. I usually lead one Chi-TV practice a month.
The recordings for replay at any time can all be found on the Chi Center You Tube Channel under VIDEOS. The September 19th, 2020 practice of Lift Chi Up and Pour Chi Down and the October 3rd 2020 practice of Awaken Vitality are actually two seated practices which I led. Seated options are wonderful for anyone who might need to do a seated practice because of physical limitations or maybe on a day you might be not quite feeling up to a full standing practice. Always doing as your body allows, modifying your practice as you need at any given moment.
On that same page can be found numerous others of Master Mingtong’s recordings, as well as an abundance of healing stories from others doing the practice.
There are still 3 easy ways to join the Chi-TV Practice/Dance/Meditation session:
1. You can go live directly on YouTube
2. If you prefer to watch on the Chi Center Chi-TV page, the link is ChiCenter.com/WatchNow,
3. If you want to participate via Zoom with the group with or without your webcam, here is the Zoom Link
All WELCOME to join us …

A bit on the nippy side weather-wise today for a practice in Bannerman Park … AND …
Since some of you had said you might enJOY a practice outside with scarves and gloves and hats, I will drive over to the Park at Noon today and see if anyone else shows up. Then will go from there. If any adventuresome folks show up as well, we can do a Wisdom Healing Qigong and/or T’ai Chi Chih practice like we did last Thursday when we did both.
Follow-up Note: Five of us actually showed up and we had a lovely Awaken Vitality and Sound Healing practice.
I took one photo and then a young woman passer-by took another of all 5 of us!
It turned out to be quite lovely … sunny … and much warmer than anticipated!

Two lovely outdoor T’ai Chi Chih You Tube practice links
Passing along these two lovely outdoor T’ai Chi Chih You Tube practice links with Chris Norkus, a T’ai Chi Chih teacher friend from North Carolina.
*** Full practice link with 6 forward repetitions and 3 on side moves – 23 minutes
*** Full practice link with 9 forward repetitions and 3 0n side moves – 37 minutes
Chris does some moves a little differently than what I teach. Essentially the same and the 2 videos are definitely gems I think you will enJOY and find really helpful. Chris certainly embodies the softness and the sense of flowing and floating that are the essence of T’ai Chi Chih. Deeply grateful to have them available and to be ableto share them with you.
En-JOY indeed!
See you as life and time allow.

It was an amazingly moving moment and I am so excited to be able to share it with you … and you can do the same and share it with as many others as you wish.

You have to eat the food!”

Practice when you feel like it. Practice when you don’t feel like it! The rewards are well worth it!

RE: Playtime with Facebook
NOTE: I am playing with Facebook options for sharing about T’ai Chi Chih and Wisdom Healing Qigong classes, retreats and other special happenings with a wider audience. Wondering if some of you who use Facebook may be able to help … could be as simple as clicking the “Like” button on my page … or passing along the info other ways if you wish …
Both T’ai Chi Chih and Wisdom Healing Qigong are mindfulness practices, moving meditations rather than just “exercises”, and yet proven to be some of the best “exercises” we can do. Each offers potentially amazing benefits physically, mentally, emotionally and spiritually for anyone willing to commit to a faithful practice, as life and time allow, whether seriously committed or simply curious to begin with.
Please see the two Facebook links and details below …
I still have an original personal Facebook account that I had begun playing with several years ago for this same purpose. Time now for another look. Meanwhile, I have deliberately been avoiding doing “Friends” on Facebook. Thank you to any of you who have sent Friend requests. Far too time consuming for me. I use my personal page simply for general posts and I connect with friends and family other ways.
Thanks to some much appreciated help I have just used my original Facebook account to set up a single Facebook “Page” that Googles as Sheila Leonard – T’ai Chi Chih and Wisdom Healing Qigong. Seems this kind of page can be “tagged” for wider sharing and my original Facebook page cannot.
I am also told that this newest single page can be more easily and effectively shared through “Likes” without the need for doing “Friends”. Looks like maybe the original page can, too, but still learning how that works …
I would greatly appreciate it for anyone who might choose to “Like” the single page, or even both and see where it goes.

INVITATION FROM VOCM FOR INTERVIEW
I had been invited to share in some conversation about T’ai Chi Chih and Wisdom Healing Qigong, the two programs I offer at the Lantern, on the VOCM Night Line with Jonathan Richler on June 5, 2018. Here is the permanent link to the interview. Simply Click here
The T’ai Chi Chih/Wisdom Healing Qigong portion is a full 10 minutes and goes from 20:35 – 30:30 …
Always so very grateful for an invitation to share about T’ai Chi Chih and Wisdom Healing Qigong…
Happy to avail of this and any wonderful opportunity to put the word out to a wider audience with a view to encouraging people to explore both programs for increased energy, aliveness and overall well-being, using their own natural inner resources. Jonathan is a wonderful host and added some equally wonderful encouragement and affirmation for the programs even after the call had ended. Thank again to Jonathan and to Patrick Myler, his producer, who was also very supportive.

Free Webinar replay from Retreat 2017
plus personal sharing of part of my Healing Story
with Wisdom Healing Qigong
Hi to each and to all,
I completed my Level One Certification as a Wisdom Healing Qigong Instructor the first week of October at the Intensive Wisdom Healing Qigong Retreat at The Chi Center in Galisteo, Santa Fe, NM. Looking forward to continuing on this energy healing path in my on-going studies and in my classes as we start up again for the Fall.
Part of the Intensive Healing Retreat included a free Livestream webinar of the October 8th Sunday morning Wisdom Healing Qigong teaching session with Mingtong Gu at the Kiva, the sacred gathering space at The Chi Center. At the end of the key presentation I was invited by Master Mingtong Gu to share some of my personal Wisdom Healing Qigong story as a way of offering hope and encouragement to others through the practice. My personal sharing is the last 10 minutes or so. Here is a link to the Sunday morning teaching session with its focus on Transformation and Healing effectively for conditions such as Cancer, Parkinson’s, Lyme Disease, Auto-Immune Conditions, Neurological Disorders, and more. My sharing is the last 10 minutes or so.
CLICK HERE TO VIEW THE WEBINAR REPLAY from October 8, 2017
(Sorry, temporarily unavailable fro Chi Center Library)
The link was scheduled to be available for widespread viewing and sharing until Sunday, October 15th . Availability for viewing has been extended … unsure for how long. You are welcome to listen to part or even all of the webinar by way of introduction to the essence of Wisdom Healing Qigong and its benefits for the healing and prevention of disease. The practices are talked about but not actually done in this particular session. Meanwhile, for some other links for anyone who may like to explore it further, you are welcome to visit the Wisdom Healing Qigong menu on this site.
I have such awe and gratitude for so much in my life, including the gift of Wisdom Healing Qigong. It was both a pleasure and a privilege to share some of my own story on-line in the hope that it could somehow offer encouragement to others. It was all the more so, to be asked to do that on a Livestream broadcast that was being transmitted around the world.
Mingtong had finished his talk on a note of Wisdom Healing Qigong being a form of service, a fitting note to pick up on. As a Presentation Sister I began my sharing using a quote from Nano Nagle, our Foundress, “If I can be of service … in any part of the world, I would gladly go.” Traveling via the world wide web perhaps was not quite what Nano had envisioned in the 1700’s! Today she may well have engaged! I felt her very much with me in love and support as I walked toward the front of the room. Her story then. Our story now.
If even one person were to be helped and given more hope for healing through my sharing, then I am more than happy to have said yes to doing it, however daunting the idea at first on being asked.
The following excerpts accompanied the link to the replay …
In Wisdom Healing Qigong, you work with mental and physical manifestations of energy in a way that releases and reduces stress, including biological stresses, that may have built up over years. This dissipation of negative stress allows you to increase the natural positive energy in your mind and body. And as you know, a change of energy creates a change in reality.
The consistent practice of Wisdom Healing Qigong can transform the deep blockages that cause acute, chronic, and seemingly “incurable” health conditions, reviving your vitality, and giving you back your natural joy for life.
And to start using this healing system yourself, all you need is a commitment to learning and practice – the rest comes naturally as your capabilities grow over time.
As Master Mingtong teaches, our body is a living system of energy transformation. And your mind is an integral part of that system, helping guide energy through and around you …
A general note re “donations” for my Lantern sessions …
All weekly sessions are an hour and a half…
Suggested Donation: $10/class … or simply contribute what you can,when you can, if you can …
As your situation allows, you can also simply “pay forward” in kindness. Please never let $ keep you from joining us!
Faithful attendance, and faithful practice between sessions, as your life and time allow, are key for both learning the practices and experiencing the amazing benefits that await you and which so many others have experienced and share enthusiastically about. Weekly attendance also honours yourself as one way of gentle self-care.
