#226: Internationally Celebrated Qi Gong Master & TV Personality Reaching 50M Households Reveals How To Slow Down To Increase Effectiveness… w/ Lee Holden
“So what you're saying is the Karate Kid was actually about you?”
Those were the exact words out of my mouth during today’s episode 😆
While Lee Holden wasn’t training for a fight like Daniel-San, in his 20s he did get to train directly with Taoist master and one of the most spiritually influential people in the world, Master Mantak Chia.
As his first job out of college, Lee worked directly with Master Mantak Chia as a ghost writer for his books.
Fast forward and today Lee is an internationally recognized Qi Gong master in his own right.
He was the main TV personality in the, “Less Stress, More Energy” PBS special which reached 50M households…
He’s written several bestselling books, including his newest one, Ready Set Slow: How to Improve Your Energy, Health, and Relationships Through the Power of Slow.
For more than 30 years, Lee has helped tens of thousands of people just like you to increase their energy, calm their minds, and live vibrant lives through Qi Gong.
Here are 3 things to look forward to in today’s episode:
- How to use acupressure to remove headaches (we do some real time implementation!)
- How “Slow Eating” and “Slow Exercise” is EASIER and MORE EFFECTIVE than our default modes
- How Lee ended up going from a Qi Gong teacher with limited resources to being featured on PBS in between segments with Wayne Dyer and Yanni…
This is a FUN and insightful episode, and I can’t wait for you to listen!
