Holden QiGong

Holden QiGong Master the Ancient Art of Qi Gong For Health, Happiness, and Vitality. Ever feel there’s more to your body than meets the mind?

For over 4 millennia men and women from the Far East have practiced a self-healing method that requires no strength, no effort, and very little time. It’s so safe that young children and the elderly use it even to this day. When used correctly, it circulates your life force energy through your body and activates your cells. As you feel this, your life force energy takes your
attention and brings it inward. As it grows, your mind connects to the present moment into total relaxation and calmness. This energy manipulation can be used to heal, strengthen, and nourish your body. Side effects may include: physical strength, emotional balance, deeper sleep, and better sex.

Dear Holden QiGong Community,

We wanted to take a moment to share an important update.

Over the past several years, Holden QiGong has been supported behind the scenes by the co-founder, Ben, as well as Chen and the Influence Machines team. They've operated the systems and the day-to-day running of the business while Lee focused on teaching, practice, and the heart of the work. That chapter is now coming to a close.

Lee has decided to take full responsibility for the business moving forward. He will be building and leading a new team to support Holden QiGong and its students. As part of that decision, Ben, Chen, and many of the Influence Machines team are stepping away from their role in the business effective yesterday, January 31st.

This parting of ways is amicable and comes with a lot of respect on all sides. We've shared years of collaboration, care, and commitment to this work and most importantly to this Holden QiGong community.

To the Holden QiGong students and practitioners: Thank you. Truly.

Getting to know you, supporting your journeys, and being part of this community has been a genuine privilege. Your curiosity, dedication, and openness are what made this work meaningful for us, and we're deeply grateful for the trust you placed in us over the years.

As this transition unfolds, there may be changes behind the scenes as Lee brings a new team up to speed. If you notice shifts in systems, response times, or overall operations, we appreciate your patience and understanding during this period of change.

For those who would like to stay connected with Ben, Chen, and the Influence Machines team, we're creating a simple, optional mailing list. We may use it in the future to share updates if we collaborate on new projects or offerings. This is purely an opt-in way to stay in touch on potential future projects.

Join the mailing list here:

Thank you again for being part of this chapter with us. We're proud of what's been built, grateful for the relationships formed, and wish Holden QiGong and this community nothing but continued growth and depth in the years ahead.

With appreciation,

Ben, Chen, and Lee

This simple energy healing technique uses your hands to support the thyroid.

Energize the palms.
Form butterfly hands.
Guide healing energy into the throat.

As the hands move closer, energy goes deeper.
As they move away, it softens and spreads.

Visualize golden light and calm, balanced energy surrounding the thyroid.

Simple. Gentle. Powerful.

Inhale.
Float up.
Connect.

As the arms rise, imagine connecting to something bigger than yourself.
As the hands lower, shine that energy gently into the throat center.

This simple movement helps calm the nervous system and bring harmony to the thyroid and endocrine system.

Nothing forced.
Nothing complicated.
Just breath, awareness, and gentle intention.

If this felt good, there is so much more you can explore. Pressure points, flowing movements, and energy activations designed to support deep balance from the inside out.

Save this and come back to it whenever your body needs softness and support.

This kidney flow is simple, gentle, and deeply effective.

In this video, Lee guides a flowing Qi Gong movement that uses relaxed hand positions, subtle hip motion, and a spinal wave to move energy up through the kidney meridian and into the throat.

The kidneys are associated with deep vitality and foundation energy. When this energy rises smoothly through the body, it supports clarity, balance, and nourishment at the throat center.

This is not about effort or strength.
It's about coordination, breath, and awareness.

Watch the video and move along at your own pace. Let the energy flow naturally.

This movement is about effortless power.

A gentle spinal wave.
A fountain of energy.
Healing rising like water.

In this practice, Lee guides energy up through the kidney meridian and into the throat and thyroid using simple, flowing movements and breath.

No forcing.
No tension.
Just water rising to nourish what needs support.

As you move, imagine healing energy traveling up the spine and gathering in the throat center, restoring balance where it's needed most.

Slow down. Breathe deeply. Let the energy rise.

Save this and practice along when your body needs grounding and clarity. Or, join Lee for the upcoming Qi Gong for a Healthy Thyroid Workshop on January 25th. Click here to learn more or go to the link in our bio:

Did you know your thyroid is deeply connected to your energy, metabolism, sleep, and mood?

In Western medicine, the thyroid regulates many of the systems that help you feel energized and balanced.

In Chinese medicine, it's connected to the Water Element and kidney energy, which influences the bones, brain, joints, and endocrine system as a whole.

When the thyroid is out of balance, it often shows up as too much yin or too much yang.

Low energy and fatigue.
Or stress, agitation, and restless sleep.

In this video, Lee explains how Qi Gong helps bring these energies back into harmony using gentle, nourishing movements that support the thyroid naturally.

Zen isn't about becoming something new.

It's about experiencing what's already here, but without the noise.

At its heart, Zen points to a direct encounter with life itself. No mental stories. No beliefs to defend... just stepping out of constant thinking and meeting reality as it is.

What many people don't realize is that Zen emerged from a blending of Taoism and Buddhism—known in China as Chan. Together, they offered a way to move beyond concepts and into lived experience… helping us sense our true place in the flow of life.

When the mind relaxes its grip, clarity arises naturally.
Presence replaces effort.
And life feels intimate again.

You're already living inside an energy field.

The question is—are you using it consciously?

The same unseen field that powers Wi-Fi, phones, radio, and video calls… is the field you move through every moment of your life.

In this practice, you'll begin to feel that energy directly—drawing it into your hands, connecting with it intentionally, and tuning into a frequency of healing and nourishment. No force. No effort. Just awareness and connection.

You work much more like technology than you've ever been taught.

When you tune the frequency, the energy responds.

There's a reason this practice has stayed alive for centuries.

Buddha Palm comes from the Shaolin temples—a meeting point where Chinese energy arts, martial training, yoga, breathwork, Taoism, and Buddhism blended into something deeply practical and profoundly healing.

At its heart, Buddha Palm is about awakening the intelligence of the hands.
Not just movement—but awareness, circulation, and intention.

Through simple sequences, we learn to:

🙌 Open the energy gates of the hands
💖 Tonify heart energies like loving-kindness, compassion, joy, and inner peace
☯️ Strengthen creativity and emotional balance
🌏 Cultivate healing from the inside out

This practice is especially meaningful to Lee, he was one of the contributors to Cosmic Healing by Mantak Chia, where these teachings were shared more widely with the world.

Most of us are trying to add more positivity to our lives…
..without ever clearing what's already weighing us down.

In Chinese medicine, there are two simple but powerful principles:

Purging and tonifying.

Purging is releasing what doesn't belong anymore—stress, tension, old emotional residue, even the energy of a difficult encounter.

Tonifying is strengthening what truly nourishes you—loving-kindness, compassion, joy, inner peace, creativity, balance, and grounding.

This practice uses gentle postures and breathing to do both at the same time: clearing what you don't want and fortifying what you do.

When your internal energy system is full and healthy, negativity has very little place to land—and if it does, it's easy to clear.

Bring your energy back to YOU 💫🌬️

When you've been in a difficult relationship, gone through a breakup, or simply given too much of yourself away, this Lung point helps you reclaim what's yours.

I once worked with someone who came to me heartbroken after a breakup. Using this single acupressure point on the Lung meridian helped bring their energy back to them—pulling their scattered emotional energy back home to their own body.

This Lung point is essential for:

Healthy emotional disengagement
Self-protection and boundaries
Recovering your energy after giving it away
Strengthening your lung energy (which governs boundaries in Chinese medicine)

Find it: On your wrist crease, moving toward your thumb

When you need to disengage, protect yourself, or simply feel more grounded in YOUR OWN energy, this is the point to press.

Your energy belongs to you. Take it back 🙏
