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!

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
