Lee Holden's Health and Healing Kit

[Denise B]

I am a newcomer to Lee's practices. I tried the AM Health on youtube, fell in love , and have done it almost daily ever since. Soon after I tried it, I bought 7 minutes of Magic and then took advantage of the sale on his Health and Healing Kit from Sounds True.

I've listened to all the CDs and tried all the DVDs at least once. Lee doesn't offer a lot of guidance about how to incorporate these practices into a regular routine, so I would appreciate hearing from others about how they rotate them.

Thanks!

I'm not sure as to the answer to your question, but I don't know anyone who has this. Can you give a review of the DVDs? I would really appreciate it. I'm very curious how the DVDs are.

Hi loverly,

Here is a link to Lee's site describing the kit's contents. As you can see, there are 5 DVDs, 6 CDS, a workbook and some Qi cards, so it will take some time to write proper reviews. However, I'll try to post my notes/thoughts on the practices as time permits. Hopefully, others will add their thoughts as well.

For now, I will mention that all the DVDs are filmed indoors. Lee is alone and instructs in voice over. He is positioned in front of a 3 tiered platform. On the wall behind him, there are three panels which flash different colors and patterns. The names of the moves flash on screen when he introduces them.

I believe that these DVDS may have been sold individually or as part of other kits.

My concern is that the DVDs might be from something I already have, but I can't truly tell. I appreciate any thoughts you can give me on the various DVDs.

Based on the reviews here and on Amazon, I wouldn't be surprised if Lee's AM/PM tape was made of some footage found on DVD 1 and 2. He also has a smaller kit, that may be contain some footage from DVD 3 and 4.

Here are some notes about DVD 1:

DVD #1 Morning Qi Gong

• Introduction 2:34
• Complete Practice 51:00
• Daily Practice 30:52

Inside a studio, Lee instructs using voice over in front of a 3 Tiered Platform. There is also a 3 Paneled Screen in the background which lights up in different colors. For this DVD, the colors are orange and yellow resembling a sunrise. Both of these practices are standing. The shorter practice omits some of the moves from the longer practice, but is done in the same order. The name of each move flashes on the screen. Although there are no premixes, the DVD is chaptered allowing you to easily skip moves.

The moves marked with an *appear in both practices:

*Deep Abdominal Breathing
*Spinal Cord Breathing
*Knocking on the Door of Life
*Spinal Twist
The Pendulum
Moving the Body Like a River
*Full Body Flow
Lunge and Flow

Palm Massage

Hip Circles

Thanks so much for the info. It is greatly appreciated.

[Denise B]

I reread the product descriptions on Lee's site more carefully. It confirms that both AM/PM and the "Qi Healing Kit" have excerpts from "Qi Gong for Health and Healing".

Loverly7, hope that helps!
