It is with deep sadness that we tell you of the
passing of Linda Rose, the angel who organized and
facilitated the monthly Healing Chi-Gong and Healing
Meditation group at the Land of Medicine Buddha.
Held in a circle of love and meditative support, she
passed peacefully in the early hours of 17
October.
The Healing Chi-Gong and
Healing
Meditation group will continue to meet on the 1st
Wednesday of every month thanks to the generosity
and willingness of Tenzin Chogkyi.

SOMATIC SKILLS—a new class
Learn
somatic
(body-based) skills to reduce anxiety and increase
wellbeing. We will practice ways of diffusing pain,
and we will learn and practice "state
shifting"(moving from states of chronic tension to
deep relaxation). This work is based on Somatic
Experiencing and Focusing, as well as recent
advances in Neuroscience (it's possible to google
these).

You Are Not Alone
A Guide for Women
newly diagnosed with cancer
"When the doctor
says, "You have cancer," you may feel as though you
have been scooped up and thrown into a nightmare - and
you feel as though you are on this journey alone.
You Are Not Alone was created especially
for you by other women who have traveled this
road - the suggestions and stories focus on what might
be helpful to you in this most intense early stage
of dealing with a cancer diagnosis - the guide's main
purpose is to address some of the emotional,
psychological, and spiritual aspects."
