Clear, informative and easy to follow instructions - so good I had to buy it!
My habit is to borrow DVD's and books from the library. If I want to continue using the DVD's or books after my renewal option runs out, I return them and borrow again. I was 8th in line for this DVD and now that I have it, I can see why.
First, I found the introduction clear, informative and inviting, being fairly new to qi gong. (Have watched and memorized 2 other qi gong DVD sequences.)
Second, Lee Holden's instructions are simple! He doesn't rush, yet covers a lot of ground, including information on the meridians as he moves, and telling what the moves are good for. And I can watch and follow along easily because his movements are in mirror image.
Third, Lee's voice is nice to listen to and is easy to understand because it is not drowned out by background music, as I experienced with another DVD Qi Gong for Cleansing (this cleansing sequence is beautiful by the way, and pretty easy to learn too.)
Fourth, he covers the hands, arms, shoulders, neck, head, chest, solar plexus, rib cage, abdomen, pelvis, back, organs, thighs and lower legs in the standing sequence. The sitting sequence is not as comprehensive, but includes a pleasant, relaxing guided visualization meditation.
Fifth, I've used the standing sequence for 3 consecutive days. Each time, I felt better than the previous time I did it. The first day was after experiencing an emotionally upsetting event. I felt pretty bad. The sequence grounded me, leaving me feel lighter like I dropped the emotional baggage. The second time following along left me feeling significantly more energized. Today, the third day, I did the sequence first thing in the morning and wow! My day and evening have been great. Everything just flows more smoothly when you feel good :). The difference between having energy blockages in the body and having free flowing energy throughout the body is something that has to be experienced to be believed, it seems. I'm truly amazed lol.
Sixth, the ease in doing the sequences and the great way I feel afterwards motivates me to continue!
Although I'm not claiming that your experience will be the same as mine because each of us is different, I whole heartedly recommend it to you if your goal is to either feel better yourself or help a loved one feel better by giving this as a gift.
