I will be posting personal video practices here. In the meantime, enjoy some of Lee Holden's YouTube videos.
I practice "7 Minutes of Magic" every day. It was filmed at beautiful Lake Tahoe, near Reno, NV, where I lived before moving to Nashville.
Stay tuned for future Qi Gong Group Practices and Workshops on how to Manifest More of What You Love!
A Simple Explanation of Qi Gong
In simplest terms, Qi Gong is a practice for less stress and more energy.
Qi Gong was developed by Taoist sages in ancient China over 4,000 years ago. Since that time, it has been an important part of Traditional Chinese Medicine, offering numerous benefits for physical, emotional, and spiritual wellbeing.
“Qi” means “life-force energy.” Everything that takes place within the body is a reflection of this mysterious energy. Your thoughts, feelings, and physical experiences are all manifestations of Qi within you.
“Gong” means “to work with.” Therefore, Qi Gong means “to work with life-force energy.”
In Qi Gong, working with life-force energy often focuses on letting go of stress, cultivating joy, and boosting physical vitality and health. However, there are limitless ways to apply the principles of Qi Gong to help you live your best life.
Benefits of Qi Gong
First, since Qi Gong is a movement practice, it has many of the same benefits as other forms of exercise. It improves circulation, strengthens the muscles, and increases cardiovascular health. Since there are so many different types of Qi Gong exercises, everyone can find practices to suit their level of physical fitness.
Second, Qi Gong focuses on gentle stretching exercises that can increase flexibility. Focusing on flexibility is an important part of staying mobile and preventing injury. This is especially true as people grow older.
Third, Qi Gong is a form of meditation. By practicing Qi Gong, it’s easy to experience many of the same benefits of meditation —calming the mind, letting go of stress, and cultivating emotional balance.
In other words, Qi Gong combines the benefits of physical exercise, stretching, and meditation in one practice! Because Qi Gong offers all three of these positive qualities, it’s a great practice for those who don’t have a lot of time in their schedule for self-care.
