Course program

Qi Gong by Sounds True is a self-paced online course taught by Lee Holden, a licensed acupuncturist and internationally celebrated Qi Gong master. Drawing on centuries of Chinese energy practice, the program introduces foundational qi gong movements and meditations designed to cultivate calm, restore vitality, and support physical and emotional well-being in daily life.

This course welcomes students at every level — no prior experience with qi gong or movement practice is required. It is suited to anyone seeking more calmness and grounding, steadier energy, stronger immune health, and habits that nourish rather than drain. The gentle pace makes it accessible regardless of age, body type, or fitness level.

The course teaches foundational qi gong exercises organized around different intentions and times of day. You’ll learn a morning qi gong sequence to awaken energy and motivation, an evening practice for discharging stress and preparing for restful sleep, and self-healing routines that work with the body’s natural energy pathways. Additional segments cover emotional balance through movement and breath, and a spiritual qi gong practice for deeper inner cultivation.

Alongside the practice sequences, Lee Holden shares reflection exercises and two recorded live Q&A sessions that expand on how qi gong relates to traditional Chinese medicine, longevity, and the cultivation of life-force energy. The teachings emphasize gentle, sustainable habits rather than intensive training, making the practices easy to integrate into a regular daily rhythm.

The course is led by Lee Holden, a licensed Chinese medical doctor and acupuncturist, author of 7 Minutes of Magic, and cofounder of the Santa Cruz Integrative Medicine and Chi Center. His Qi Gong programs have aired on American Public Television and PBS stations across the United States and Canada, and he is recognized internationally as a master Qi Gong teacher.

The format is fully self-paced. The course delivers more than twelve hours of audio and video instruction that students can move through at their own pace, returning to individual practices as often as needed. There are no scheduled live sessions, no cohort, and no required assignments — students follow the practices on their own time, with reflection prompts to support integration.

You’ll finish with a regular qi gong routine you can practice on your own, which the course connects to easing stress, supporting immunity, and sleeping better. The audio and video instruction for the morning, evening, self-healing, emotional balance, and spiritual practices, plus the reflection exercises and two recorded Q&A sessions, stay available to return to.

Thank you for bringing Richard Schwartz HIMSELF to speak about IFS. Having read all his books, it makes sense to me that understanding of Self in spiritual terms is a breakthrough lens for everyone. To witness him, a scientist, courageously bring his hopeful understanding to a public forum is inspirational. look forward to each upcoming segment, and his ideas are a topic of discussion with others involved and not involved in the course.

This [The Way of Guardians and Grace] was a life-changing course. Caroline Myss's stories helped with understanding what she was trying to convey. If you're trying to better understand the importance of intuition, following light over dark, how to tell the difference between the two, and how it comes into play with your soul's journey, this is the course for you!

I've never been so impacted by a book or teacher. I have spent the last fifty years as a spiritual seeker, having read many helpful and inspiring books and attended numerous retreats and workshops. This course [Living from a Place of Surrender] has helped bring me closer to my destination. I am overwhelmed with gratitude for Michael Singer’s wisdom and skill as a teacher, offering a mind-blowing yet understandable presentation of the Truth and how to live it.

I have been following the teachings of Tara Brach and Jack Kornfield for several years. I hold a great amount of respect for their wisdom and skillful teaching. This course is the next step for my personal development as a facilitator and teacher. The course [Power of Awareness] is easy to follow and interactive, making it possible for much self-reflection and meditation practice. This course is a skillfully crafted course for anyone interested in meditation.

Rich meditation lessons for a busy life. I practice meditation almost every day, and I’ve found the Mindfulness Daily to be an enriching and rewarding experience. I’ve completed the 40 lessons many times, yet I continue to return to this practice from time to time.
