Ready, Set, Slow by Lee Holden

 

Ready, Set, Slow – How to Improve Your Energy, Health, and Relationships Through the Power of Slow is truly inspirational. The author, Qi Gong master Lee Holden, makes a strong case for his methods, and the transformational benefits that come from incorporating these changes into our lives. From the book we read: “There’s too much at stake not to slow down. By slowing down, you’ll gain time, energy, focus, and clarity.” The idea that slowing down can lead to more productivity may sound too good to be true, but research confirms it does this and more―if only we can figure out a way to apply it in our everyday lives.

In this transformative book Holden shares the Slow Method, principles of slow mind, body, and relationships drawn from the philosophical wisdom of Eastern meditation, martial arts, and philosophies and merged with Western science. The resulting practices offer ways to access the benefits of slowing down to create lasting change in your life and the lives of those you love.

From primal shaking for stress relief through slow, grateful eating and meditation, and from vagal breathing through conscious communication (the importance of slow listening!) and sexual reflexology, the author covers it all. A variety of simple exercises, examples, and interesting anecdotes make these practices engaging and very accessible. Ready, Set Slow is a gift I want to give myself and everybody I know.

It sometimes feels like there’s nothing we can do to help the situation.  I believe that one of the best ways to use this enforced quiet time and help ourselves is to build our imune systems so that we are better able to resist or lighten the effects of the virus. To that end, I have increased my usual daily qigong practice to include routines from a few of these wonderful Qigong Masters.
