Lee Holden – Qigong to Supercharge Your Immune System

Description Of Qigong to Supercharge Your Immune System

Unlock your inner power to boost your own health — as you receive easy-to-do movements, meditations, and breathing exercises to strengthen your lungs and power up your respiratory system.

Wei Qi translates to “Protective Qi,” and it’s part of the powerful energy field around your body. The stronger and more nourished your Wei Qi is, the healthier and more resistant you are to the external factors that cause illness.

Lee Holden will be teaching how to cultivate strong, active Wei Qi in a brand-new, we-couldn’t-need-it-more-right-now online training program — to supercharge your ability to stay healthy and well.

Join together with students from around the world to cultivate your Qi through flowing movements and meditation — for greater health, stronger immunity, increased vitality, reduced stress, and much more.

Ancient medicine and modern science agree that stress takes a toll on your physiology, to say the least. But when you have the tools to clear emotional stress and physical tension from your body, your immune system gets a power boost.

The beauty of Qigong is that it takes you beyond “just let go” and deep into tools that work for actually releasing stagnant stress and tension. And when you do that, you harness an inner strength and a sense of peace you might never have felt before.

You tap into that extra resilience your system needs to fight off infection. You build strong, vibrant Qi — the foundation of health and the core of an ironclad immune system.

Step Into the Immune-Boosting Power of Qigong

Called “The Art of Effortless Power,” Qigong elevates energy, reduces stress, and helps you enter the flow state. Imagine being able to drop into effortless flow at will — to feel alive and connected to what you’re doing every day. To feel heightened energy, a lightning bolt of vitality, and the natural ability to live a healthy, resilient, joyful life.

Imagine training yourself to relax consciously so that when a challenge arises — whether it’s personal or global — you can respond with calmness, clarity, and energy rather than tension, worry, and stress.

In this program, Lee Holden will share easy-to-do yet powerful movements, pressure point exercises, relaxing guided meditations, visualizations, and breathwork for doing just that — and building ironclad immunity.

The lungs are connected to Wei Qi, so you’ll explore conscious breathing exercises to release negative energy, power up your respiratory system, and cultivate rich, nourishing Qi.

During each of the seven online sessions, Lee Holden will guide you in grounding principles and elevated aspects of Qigong. You’ll then practice immune-boosting movements and postures, have a chance to ask Lee Holden your questions in Q&A, and integrate everything with an empowering meditation. (If you’re familiar with Lee’s teachings and meditations, you already know how transformational this is!).

You’ll also find out how to create your own holistic Qigong routines, and how to harness your healing and preventative power with Qigong in your everyday life.

If you choose to take this journey, this program offers you powerful tools for strengthening your immune system and releasing stress in uncommonly difficult times.

You’ll discover the primary factor that Traditional Chinese Medicine views as the root cause of disease. You’ll find out what lowers immunity in the Qigong view, and how to cultivate “Righteous Qi” so there’s no room for negative energy to come in and deplete your immune function.

Module 3: Deeper Practices Part I — How to Craft Your Own Qigong Routine

With over 3,000 styles of Qigong out there, how do you know what to practice or which techniques you need in your life at this time?

In this module, Lee Holden will introduce the 7 Principles of Qigong to give you a deeper understanding of the practice. Exploring the “why” and “when” behind each element of a Qigong routine empowers you to easily craft a practice based on your own intentions and what feels nourishing to you.

This will also help you squeeze more out of the practices you’ve learned so far, and get clarity on what to include — and when to include it — in practices you create yourself to lower anxiety, increase vitality, prevent disease, and supercharge your immunity. As you’ll see, you can tailor health-boosting practices just for yourself, or for those you’re staying at home with too.

This session, Lee Holden will show you:

• The first few 7 Principles of Qigong, and how to weave them together as powerful components of your own holistic routine

• How to use your breath — your quickest source to energy — to change your mood and posture
• How to use Principle 2 (Activate) to increase Qi through your entire system

In this module, you’ll finish your dive into the 7 Principles of Qigong. And you’ll delve further into how to rev up your self-healing powers when you create your own routines (or practice any set of routines).

Self-healing is a resource everyone should have access to. Modern medicine is full of frustrations — from the long waits in doctors’ offices to the distressing side effects of pharmaceuticals. But with your body’s tremendous healing power, you possess a wise and intelligent system that knows how to self-regulate.

You’ll explore:

• The 7 key acupressure points for self-healing

• How to stay mindful of Principle 6 (Posture) in every practice
• How to integrate your practice and activate self-healing with the essential Principle 7 (Meditation)

Module 5: Get Into the Flow Effortlessly

As you’ve explored, flow is a key principle in Qigong — and Qigong is one of the only forms of exercise that focuses on flowing, water-like movements.

Of all the elements, water is the most flexible. It’s both soft and powerful. It teaches you exactly what the ancients meant when they described Qigong as “The Art of Effortless Power.”

This session, by mirroring the movements of water, you’ll wash away stress and stagnation and develop your inner healing power even further.

You’ll also find out how to create moments where you’re in the flow state, where you feel heightened energy, less stress, connected to the activities you do, and better able than ever to live in a healthy, resilient, joyful way — in deep compassion for yourself and the rest of life, no matter what’s going on in the world.

In this module, you’ll discover how to:

• Move your body like water and release tension
• Effortlessly drop into the flow state at will for peak performance — in your work, your creativity, your workouts, all of your activities
• Allow the flow state to elevate your energy, which supercharges your immune system
• Feel alive and connected to what you’re doing each and every day
• Benefit (again and again) from the Ice to Water, Water to Steam meditation

Module 6: Postures of Power

Now that you’ve explored flow in depth, this module will show you how postures are the banks of your river of flow. When the banks are intact, the water flows. Without strong banks, the water leaks out.

In this module, Lee Holden will take you through postures that provide structure for tapping into your healing power. As you’ll explore, your body is like an antenna, a conduit of energy and information. By holding postures with the correct intent, you’ll plug into healing energy and power up your entire mind/body system.

This session, you’ll explore:

• Powerful postures to build and tonify your Qi
• The best postural alignment for the strong flow of energy
• Muscle-, ligament-, and tendon-strengthening postures to release dormant energy, bringing forth your inner strength
• How to tap into Source energy
• The 3 Fundamental Energies: Universe, Earth, and Nature
• An integration meditation

Module 7: Qi Living

In your final session with Lee Holden, he’ll share how to sustain your practice and integrate its healing and preventative power in your everyday life.

You’ll pull out your roadmap to see how far you’ve come — and you may notice that you’re moving with greater ease, you’re feeling a new sense of peace, and your body feels stronger, more relaxed, and better able to protect itself.

You’ll also find out how to keep creating the life you truly want with the energy that requires: energy of mind, body, and emotion. You’ll come away with practices you can use for a lifetime to support a supercharged immune system and a healthy, joyous life.

In this closing session, you’ll discover:

• A replenishing-energy strategy for embodying your innate healing power every day
• THE stress-clearing life strategy
• How to use Qigong to create loving relationships
• How to use Qi to manifest a state of health and a way of living that you love
