Qi Gong (Pronounced Chi Gong)

 I saw an ad for a 5-day free trial for something called Qi Gong. It said it would "clear stress instantly" it "mirrors the movements of nature" and it is a "calm, gentle, flowing" energy work. I was lured in, I signed up, and I'm 100% hooked. 

I completed the 5-day trial via Zoom classes, along with hundreds of other people. The instructor's name was Lee and he has been practicing and teaching Qi Gong for years. The movements were easy and calm and gentle, just like he promised. 

After each class, I felt stronger. I also felt happy, creative, grounded, relaxed, and hopeful for an amazing future. It gave me clarity and it made me want to be more active, more successful, more happy, and more calm. It energized me. 

I have been practicing Qi Gong for about 6 weeks now, and I cannot live without it. I signed up for a monthly membership, so there are live classes 3 times a week and many video taped classes on the website that I can use anytime. Before each live class, Lee is kind enough to allow 30 minutes of questions that he answers in the most thoughtful, kind, gentle, non-judgemental way. He is simply the best and I wish I had found him years ago.

I do Qi Gong every day now. Sometimes for only 7 minutes, if I'm in a hurry, and sometimes for 30 minutes or an hour. It helps me release the stress and tension, makes me more confident, more happy, more of everything I want to be. I can feel the energy physically flowing through my whole body every time. Breath is energy and the simple act of being mindful of your breath brings instant calmness.

Here is the link to the site and instructor I use. But, there are many videos online that are free, so everyone can benefit. https://www.holdenqigong.com/ 

He also has a YouTube channel where you can learn and practice for FREE: https://www.youtube.com/@HoldenQiGong

P.S. I have no vested interest in anyone joining Holden Qi Gong and I am getting no benefits (monetary or otherwise) from talking about him or the Qi Gong. I just want everyone to feel better and experience the benefits.
