My special guest is Lee Holden
Lee Holden exemplifies the essence of vibrant living. As a young college athlete, he encountered a potent blend of Qi-gong, Tai Chi, and acupuncture that shifted his life trajectory completely. From then on, an ordinary life wasn't in the cards. Charting a unique path, he chose to apprentice under Grandmaster Mantak Chia and absorbed ancient wisdom within the context of modern living. His mesmerizing journey, which took him from being a student in Berkeley to a much-loved teacher and therapist, led to collaborations, national television appearances, and a growing online community. His knack for distilling complex concepts into easily digestible lessons continues to motivate people to invest time and effort in their consciousness and discover their inner vitality.
