Using the Huan Yin Ling Tong Chant

I love to chant this chant, and have used it to fall back asleep, to go to sleep and just in walking in and out of the prison. Once I heard Mingtong tell the story about Jamine falling off his changing table new ways of using the chant opened up that I could apply easily as both my nearly two year old grandsons are frequently stumbling and falling. I have prayed (asked the chi field) that it be the first thing I think of when that happens, and it comes into my head pretty quick.
It works like a "magic spell." The first time Jack looked up at me with the most curious look in his face and then dusted himself off and went on his way... the next time he didn't even glance my way.... With Peter, he started a little fuss (it was a big fall) and then thought better of it.... When I was at the playground with a little friend of Peter's and her mother, the little girl whacked her head on the swing and the mom went into a tizzy. We talked some and I taught her the chant... She was very grateful for something positive to do, as she knew that her own reaction was not helping her daughter learn to cope.
When I fell down the stairs (I never fall) my ankle was really letting me know it had been traumatized, I just lay on the grass, smiled at my ankle and chanted, (under my breath cause my daughter was there) and visualized flowing energy adjusting any injury back into its natural state quickly and efficiently... I rested and then after 5-10 min got up and the ankle was fine... The next morning my back was all out of whack, maybe next time I'll invite a general bath from the chant, rather than being so focused on what "I feel the healing energy ought to do"....

In an email correspondence with a student she shared this quote in closing:
Muhammad: Even if you cannot do it perfectly, be steadfast on the straight path.
and said, "I remember you said at the first workshop that there is not a bad or wrong way to do QiGong, but just try something. Thanks!"

What an honor to be remembered alongside such a prophet. My reflection back:
"I had a very powerful practice today inside prison, the chi doesn't judge us by our past or our performance, our skill or our technique, or even which form we enjoy ... how much of this infinite, unconditional flow we can participate in at any given time seems more to do with the our level of sincerity, and level of tension.... so relax and do my best ... is the best motto I know...Haola!

Testimonial to life, even in death

Here is an email I received today regarding one of the participants in our Chi Healing Group at the Intensive, she was a marvelous spirit, and so dedicated to being all she could be! Healing does not always mean curing, and life has its natural ends, let us make the most of each day and do what we can (our QiGong practice) to insure the high quality of the remainder of our days! Haola

Dear Ones,

Our beloved Helen Ramstad-Lane passed away peacefully last week, surrounded in love with her husband, Derek, and daughter, Heather.

Helen came to the first Healing Intensive Retreat at the Dakini Temple in Richmond after she was given a few months to live with pancreatic cancer. Her spirit and energy increased with her dedication and commitment to the Qigong practice, expanding both the quality and quantity of her life, living almost a year beyond her prognosis.

Her doctor was so amazed by her progress that he asked her for an hour appointment with her so she could tell him what she had done to increase her energy, spirit and life span!

Helen’s inspiring courage, perseverance and humor is a continuing model of grace and grit for all of us. Her radiant presence illuminated each of us with her gusto for living life to the fullest in each moment.

Please join us in blessing her beautiful spirit as she moves on peacefully into the ocean of light, a refuge for all, and to a New Beginning.

Haola,

Mingtong, Linling , Gina and the Chi Community
