I slept well and had an appetite. The air was good, not Smokey and I was able to practice qigong near my dragon fountain. I decided I wanted to practice my Wild Goose Qigong at the duck pond, so I emailed the president of our qigong club and she emailed to other students. I had a lovely small flock of students and We had a dreamy healing qigong practice together near the grazing Wild Geese. I feel so grateful for all the love and support.

Day 12 of the Healing Journey Feeling gratitude as I fearlessly learn to surf the 1st waves of chemo Woke at 7, took morning meds with quart cooling lemon cranberry tea, and Massaged my belly. Breathing Meditation rising from earth thru my roots Connecting to heavenly golden light, slowly descending pouring into my crown, illuminating all my cells , penetrating healing, targeting and dispersing diseases as it dissolves and leaves my body and enters Mother Earth. Looking past this first round of chemo, First days I felt unstable, seasick, holding onto my apricot tree for support as I tried pulling weeds from my garden. 3 days of juicing. 3 days of releasing. 3 days on fire. This morning, with burnt lips, feeling weathered and accomplished I survived the first turbulent waves of chemo. I feel triumphant as I glide back on smooth waters and swim with delight in my warm pool and meditate in my garden protected by my five element dragon fountains. A new day awaits me and I am ready to create something new. So grateful I was able to teach qigong most days. I have received so much love, support many gifts, and prayers from family, close friends, students and medical staff and acupuncture Thank you! Love, Dove
Dear Loved Ones Learning to ride the Chemo waves with love, support, nourishment, patience, meditation, Qigong, swimming and Chi walking. With excellent medical support, acupuncture, dear family, friends, students…. Thank you for all your love, support, encouragement, prayers and healing light. Your positive energy will help me through this long Healing Journey. Chi blessings with gratitude and love Dove Finding Nourishment
