Jo spoke to Ruby Anne Blair the author of Echo The Blind Tiger
Echo the Blind Tiger is a heartwarming and empowering tale about a young tiger named Echo, who navigates the world without sight. Through four thrilling adventures, Echo discovers the power of his heightened senses—smell, touch, hearing, and taste—showing that there’s more than one way to see the world. This beautifully rhymed story is not just a delightful read for all children, but a particularly special book for parents of children with sight loss. It offers a comforting and uplifting message that celebrates the unique abilities that come with blindness, while gently acknowledging the challenges. Echo's story serves as a reminder that true strength and perception come from the heart, and it encourages children to embrace their differences with pride and confidence. Around the world, an estimated 1.4 million children are living with vision impairment or blindness, and Echo the Blind Tiger provides a positive narrative that highlights the resilience and capabilities of these incred

QiGong session 3 with Pat
Message from Pat. during the first set we did, I mentioned that you should move your feet forwards so that your ankles are in front of your knees rather than being directly under your knees for exercise number 6, Flying Dove. However, I forgot to mention that you should move your feet to that your ankles are in front of your knees for exercise number 3, Push and Pull to the Heart. I wonder if you could add also this to any message you send out with the recording as I do not want people to risk falling off their chairs if they do exercises 3 and 6 without moving their feet forwards!
