On the Way #26: Life Isn’t a Struggle When You Do This According to a Master Qi Gong Instructor

What if the real reason life feels like a struggle isn’t your circumstances—but how you’re moving through them? In this episode, Master Qi Gong teacher Lee Holden shares powerful insights on how to work with your energy, not against it. We explore the ancient wisdom of Qi Gong, how to stay grounded in a chaotic world, and why slowing down might be the key to unlocking clarity, connection, and inner strength. A conversation that will shift how you see stress, movement, and yourself.
