Could your next breakthrough be… a belly laugh?

"When you laugh during your practice, it's energy moving, releasing, and clearing. Laughing is so good for you!" -Lee Holden

If you've been feeling a heavy energy lately… you're not alone.

When stress builds up, when the world feels too much, your body starts carrying what your heart hasn't had space to process.

This is when laughter becomes more than relief. It becomes medicine.

And guess what? You don't need to wait for something funny to happen to feel better. You can generate joy from within… on purpose, with breath, movement, and sound.

Join Lee Holden for a very unique, new workshop: the Laughing Qi Gong Workshop on July 20th. In this special live workshop, you will:

✨ Discover the Taoist art of intentional laughter: a feel-good formula that boosts endorphins, releases stress, lifts your mood, and opens the door to deep energetic healing (no jokes needed)
✨ Explore the three sacred layers of laughter (Obvious, Hidden, and Internal) and experience how each one unlocks a different level of healing
✨ Learn why laughter is considered a healing sound in Taoist practice… and how it helps balance your nervous system and shift your energy from the inside out
✨ Leave with a simple, repeatable Laughing Qi Gong routine you can confidently use anytime to transform your emotional and energetic states

Unlike watching a funny show where you need external forces to help you laugh, Laughing Qi Gong teaches you how to create laughter from the inside out. With intentional laughter, you'll learn to access a healing current of joy that's always available… even on the tough days. Laughing Qi Gong isn't about faking it or pretending things are fine. It's about using laughter as a tool for healing. As Lee says, "We're using laughter strategically to clear what gets stuck in our tissues, so it doesn't stay there."

You don't need to feel joyful to join us. You just need to show up for yourself and be willing to giggle, chuckle, and belly laugh your way to healing.

🌿 Boost Your Mind & Body with Tai Chi 🌿

Lee says Tai Chi "engages the mind in a different way" than Qi Gong. That mental connection is powerful—and research backs it up.

🧠 A Harvard Health study shows that Tai Chi can improve executive function, sharpen memory, and even slow the progression of cognitive decline in older adults. It's a mind-body powerhouse.

Plus, Tai Chi supports deeper sleep, improved balance, and better stress resilience—making it one of the most holistic practices you can try for healthy aging.

8 Things Every Tai Chi Beginner Should Know

Thinking about starting to practice Tai Chi? Here's what you need to know for an easy start:

1️⃣ Ancient roots: Tai Chi evolved from Qi Gong over 800 years ago as a martial art branch

2️⃣ More than martial arts: While it's a martial art, people practice it for health, longevity, and spiritual growth

3️⃣ Mind-body healing: Like Qi Gong, it uses awareness and movement to build strength, flexibility, and internal power

4️⃣ Different movements: Unlike Qi Gong's gentle stationary positions, Tai Chi involves flowing, choreographed walking sequences

5️⃣ Many styles: Yang and Chen are popular styles - you'll experience Yang style in our free training!

6️⃣ Don't overthink it: Focus on showing up and being open to learning rather than perfect alignment early on

7️⃣ Trust the process: Movements might feel confusing at first - that's normal! Give yourself grace and keep going

8️⃣ Break it down: Learn longer sequences by mastering smaller chunks first, then putting them together

🖐️ Feel the Energy Connect: Tai Chi Palm Press 🖐️

Lee shows how placing your pinky and palm together—creating that "thenar eminence" connection—helps you feel the subtle energy flow.

In Tai Chi practices, this awareness of hand positioning can support body alignment, internal power, and a deeper mind-body connection.
