Qi Gong for a Healthy Heart with Lee Holden (YMAA)
Too often in modern life, we feel emotionally stressed, agitated, and anxious. This is probably why the World Health Organization says cardiovascular disease is the number one killer in the world.
Heart health is one of the few issues on which both Western and Eastern medical practitioners agree: stress and anxiety are significant factors in heart disease. The more stressed out, anxious, and overwhelmed you are, the higher your risk.
The easiest way to reduce (or eliminate) your risk is to actively release stress, anxiety, and stuck or unexpressed emotions. This keeps your inner emotional state calm, relaxed, and at peace, so your heart stays healthy, nourished, and whole.
In Qi Gong for a Healthy Heart, master teacher Lee Holden guides you through a simple qi gong routine to clear stress, release anxiety, improve circulation, and bring healing energy to your heart.
You will discover
• Simple, easy-to-follow, and practical qi gong exercises to release pent-up stress, anxiety, and irritability.
• How to improve your circulation for mental clarity, less fatigue, and more energy.
• How to expand your capacity for unconditional love and compassion: Your heart is the ruler of your emotions, which is why you must send yourself positive messages to stay clear and compassionate.
• Key pressure points you can use to remove energy blocks from your heart (to feel energetically light, and take full, deep breaths).
Qigong Master Lee Holden studied with Master Mantak Chia, worked on staff with Deepak Chopra, and later attended Five Branches University in Santa Cruz earning a degree as doctor of Chinese medicine, and is now owner of the Santa Cruz Chi Institute.
