Hi to each and to all …
Time for a September Update ... had hoped to be earlier but here I am now, as life and time allow …
Will continue to post Updates here on my NEWS page as they become available.
*** Tuesday(T’ai Chi Chih) and Thursday (Wisdom Healing Qigong) free Lunch Hour Wellness Sessions on Government House lawn will be continuing until the end of September as weather permits. Cancellations will be posted on this NEWS page and on mt Facebook… otherwise, you can presume they are going ahead.
*** Lantern sessions are ON HOLD for the time being as we work with all the Covid protocols in place for physical distancing and masks … and their related challenges. Continuing to explore possibilities given my personal scheduling as well.
*** I am looking at options for offering my T’ai Chi Chih/Wisdom Healing Qigong sessions on-line on Zoom again the fall like we did March to June during Covid lockdown. We had used Zoom then for returning classes only, though some new people also dropped in, and it went really well. Offering new classes on Zoom may be a little more challenging but may well work out as a good option while in-person classes are on hold. Zoom also has an option for joining on Facebook and You Tube as well at the same time. That might make it easier for some to join us. Still learning how to do all 3 at the same time. We always do the Chi-TV sessions that way and it’s great.
*** Free Chi Center Chi-TV Wisdom Healing Qigong noon (NL time) sessions on Tuesdays and Saturdays will be continuing until the end of September. You can find the links for joining those on this NEWS page. See the August 14th posting below. The sessions consist of a 25 minute practice led one of our teachers, myself included, then a 5-minute free movement fun dance session to integrate the energy, then concluding with generally a 15-minunte (or longer) meditation with Master Mingtong Gu. Another announcement will be forthcoming from the Chi Center at the end of September as to what will unfold during the fall.
*** I have added several practice links, including personal videos, to my web site for using on your own for your continuing at-home practice for both T’ai Chi Chih and Wisdom Healing Qigong. They are on the separate Resources page under the T’ai Chi Chih menu bar as well as on the page with the List Of Moves. Two of them are my own videos done using Zoom. Some are with other teacher friends. For Wisdom Healing Qigong you will find them on the “What is Wisdom Healing Qigong?” page under the menu bar. Some of the new Wisdom Healing Qigong practices are videos of ones I had led over the past several months as part of Chi-TV. More to follow.
*** If you hear of anyone who used to get my Updates but no longer receives them, it is likely because they did not reply to either of my two July e-mails requesting that people confirm that they wanted to stay on my mailing list. My mailing lists had needed to be updated for several reasons. Anyone can e-mail me to add their name at any time.
As always, if you wish to have your name removed from my mailing list, please simply let me know.
Streaming more WELL wishes your way … be SAFE … be CALM … be KIND …
Continued blessings in abundance for each new day as it unfolds,
Sheila

Hi to each and to all,
As promised from our Tuesday noon Wellness sessions on Government House lawn…
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.

Passing this Sound Healing Practice and Meditation link from the Chi Center as a BONUS gift. It is a link to the full and powerful Sound Healing Practice Master Mingtong Gu led last Saturday, July 25th with a focus on Grief and Healing through Sound Healing During Times of Crisis – Including When Someone We Love Dies. Simply CLICK HERE for the video.
The video was part of a regular Practice with the Master session which is a registered, paid course continuing until mid-August. In a rare gesture for material from these registered courses, this recording is being made available free for enjoying and sharing as widely and as often as you like. 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. Full Sound Healing practices led by Master Mingtong are a treasure and to have this to keep is a double treasure.
EnJOY it again and again ..
Come, Relax and En-JOY!
More WELL wishes to all …

Hi to each and to all …
Passing along a personal SUMMER SCHEDULE UPDATE for T’ai Chi Chih and Wisdom Healing Qigong.
For the rest of June, I am cancelling our afternoon T’ai Chi Chih and Wisdom Healing Qigong Zoom sessions. This week I am simply taking some personal retreat time, followed by a Chi Center on-line week-long Wisdom Healing Qigong Retreat during which I will be one of the assistant teachers for our daily practices and small group circles. We will resume our local Zoom practices starting in July.
Please note that when we restart Zoom beginning July 7th and 9th we will be meeting for just an hour from 9:30 – 10:30 instead of 3:00 – 4:30, still Tuesday for Wisdom Healing Qigong and Thursday for T’ai Chi Chih. That way we can free us all up to enjoy the longer summer days! We will have another look at how that is working after the first couple of weeks in July and see where we go from there.
Plans are being worked on for outdoor summer T’ai Chi Chih (on Tuesdays) and Wisdom Healing Qigong (on Thursdays) 12:00 – 1:00 starting July 7th and 9th . Note: these days are the opposite of the 9:30 am Zoom sessions.
You can keep posted regarding summer sessions by checking this NEWS page.
Praying the weather co-operates with our plans!
More WELL wishes to all …
Continued blessings in abundance for each new day as it unfolds,

Special July Workshop at The Lantern postponed indefinitely …
Re the July T’ai Chi Chih Workshop planned with Dan Pienciak, Teacher Trainer, mentor and friend from New Jersey, as outlined in March 2nd item below … the workshop has been indefinitely postponed due to the Pandemic.
The details will remain posted below for now … with new dates to be announced as life and time allow. It may well be postponed until 2021.
March 16, 2020
TCC and WHQ Classes Cancelled at the Lantern Until Further Notice…
and another on-line “ZOOM” option is opening up to be safely enJOYed from home …
Because of Government advisories around Covid-19 precautions, Wisdom Healing Qigong (WHQ) and T’ai Chi Chih (TCC) classes have been cancelled until further notice.
Meanwhile, I would instead like to offer a very timely option to explore doing classes on-line using Zoom which is a free video/audio program that creates a meeting room or “classroom” space that is very simple to use and which has become widely used by all kinds of groups. Zoom (Zoom.us) can easily be installed or downloaded for any device, is user-friendly, and simple to use. It easily brings people safely together, and in the warmth and safety and comfort of their own homes to enhance their own health on all levels while also supporting that of others.
There is a wide range of scientifically based research that has shown both Qigong, especially Wisdom Healing Qigong, and T’ai Chi forms, including T’ai Chi Chih, to be simple, yet powerful practices for boosting the immune system, preventing disease, and facilitating faster and fuller recovery. In addition, so many of these health studies to date for both Qigong and T’ai Chi have attested to the benefits of practicing these forms for improvement in balance, blood pressure, metabolism, brain function, quality of sleep, positive effect upon depression, Parkinson’s Disease, all forms of arthritis/autoimmune disorders, joints … and much more.
Continue to watch for details re possibilities.
You can also contact me at sheilaleonard@nf.sympatico.ca or 709-727-7863
Will be happy to add you to my mailing list for future updates as well.
Wishing you WELL and SAFE …

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.
Continued blessings for 2018 for each new day as spring unfolds …

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 “costs” for my 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.

For T’ai Chi Chih hard copies or digital copes can be ordered individually at https://justinstonetcc.com/shop/
For Wisdom Healing Qigong, digital copies can be ordered at https://chicenter.mykajabi.com/store
For hard copies, I periodically place a teacher order as indicated by class interest and have it shipped, according to availability. The Chi Center no longer mails out individual orders. If the order is sufficient, a teacher discount is available which I use to help offset postage and customs charges and US exchange.
NOTE: I currently have a Wisdom Healing Qigong order ready to go but temporarily ON HOLD as of March 2020 due to Pandemic limitations. Please let me know if you might be interested in ordering. See the above link for titles. E-copies at $35 are generally $45 as hard copies and generally have DVD/CD’s included. Only the Blue E-Book at $35 on the site is the same as a hard copy. The $15 E-book on site is also the same as the hard copy.
