Hey thanks for opening up this comment!
I’d like to tell you more about the story of the Taoist Wellness Online, Master Gu’s Online Academy. How the Academy started is quite a funny story 🙈.
We could never have imagined that today we are now the biggest Tai Chi school IN THE WORLD!
It all began when I was 3 years into my journey living with Master Gu in his mountainous Tai Chi School.
Master Gu is fluent in English and has always seen it as his life mission to share the healing Taoist arts of Tai Chi, Qi Gong and Meditation with the world. He shared with me his vision to create not only online courses, but an online Academy.
I was excited by this vision and shared how I could use my filmmaking and inter-web skillz to make it happen.
We then had a cup of tea and Master Gu sang Chinese opera while playing the guitar… 🤠☯
We are really proud of what we have built. We now are a 16-person team from 7 countries and we are on a mission to create films, communities and transformative education to help people and planet live in balance.
The Online Academy is one of the best ways you can help us on our mission and you get so much learning!
If you become a student of the online Academy, you get:
- Access to 100+ hours of teaching with Master Gu, recorded with love from the heart of China.
- Learn with him in forests, caves and temples - all from the comfort of your own home.
- An awesome student community! With regular online meet-ups.
- Monthly livestreams with George and Master Gu
- A (new) Taoist Wellness App so you can learn easily on the go.
Best of all you can start for free with Master Gu’s free wellness wisdom course. 70,000 people have completed it so far.

Change Your Thoughts, Change Your Life | Dr. Wayne Dyer
Is there cases where someone has learned Qi Gong and Gung Fu by inner guidance without physical teacher and without not using any physical senses? And if there is, what that then means? Does she/he then have bloodline some kind or is that impossible? I´m just curious. By the way is it in Tibet where is or has been :D (haha, this is insane), or will be kind a cave made of mud of some kind, like a cave but like a room, in somewhere mountains. And... is there custom to go meditate that place 5 days/nights, just sitting, might be cold weather, but non is not disturbing monks meditation. I got inch of monks feeling that body is there but you can be connected by telepathy in distance places. How many can sleep just 20 hours in 7 days by staying meditation most of that time? And last but not least, possible to change mindset where your mind is in meditating in high range of dimensions, like whole time. Losing connection of ego, but free to be where ever wish, experiencing different timelines and outcomes. And that what was you has gone. I had question in long time who human is and where we came from, basically when I learned to walk and understanding whats around in me and I just knew that this is not what I expect, this is not things suppose to be, like reality is broken mirror and twisted. Now I questioning whats beyond whole system? Beyond multidimensional multiverse. Sometimes I think that my road is end and what next, some connection still keeps me here. Hard last 6 month changed me, and I just trying focus to be river. Its calming me, nobody didint teach me in whole this life time how to process feeling healthy way, and thats the point where I find Kung Fu and Qi Gong. I got feeling inside me sometimes what is like fire, like dragon and oh boy, mystical way things around me what uses electricity wont last. I think that oh new random case when my lamp dies, computer screen and washing machine. I dont know what has happened to me. I know that Im not only one, there is quite many who has awaken and maybe been thinkin that who Im now. Like borning again. We all are different, but together in this whole system we are one. Thats when realized that what I was thinking that "I´m" does not exist. I want to warn everyone that path what I have choced is not easy, I could compare that mental hell what needs to overcome is like hard military training(imagining), where your ego is ripped off and when you find out that you are still standing, but stronger. Not easy and fun. Now I use my time mostly writing and training, I should train more often. Shoulder does still recover, made Kung Fu + Qi Gong moves with emotions and that is not right way. There is quite much energy in Kung Fu when you have strong Qi and emotions, felt that my hand detouch in shoulder, but it was rupture in muscle. So when your Shifu says that smooth moves, you may have good to listen. When you are breathing, do it with focus till you have harmonise your body to breath right way by it self. Be aware where you focus your attention/awareness, because of law of attraction. And then Taoism wise Laozi, be the river, let go, come part of it, see all beauty around it, example focus seeing in your minds eye- bird flying somewhere over the river, then examine that bird in every angle and its character, how free and happy its. There is no time when someone can stop learning, even same situation in your life or same book may teach you different lesson when you let time go and repeat it. Thats why there is things what come to your life again and again, might be hard sometimes, but believe or not its love. Its after all love that you face same things again and again till you are ready to let go, by your free will in harmony. You might be confused why this text has different person views, someone might adapt this message better this way. This year is big game changing. Find your inner power and instinct, learn to trust your inner guidance. You can also ask while meditating that please can I have inner guidance, in that way what gives you peace. And movie Eat, pray and love teach that smile till your heart smiles
Hey, the enter your email portion doesn’t seem to be working. It keeps saying their invalid
When the student is ready, the teacher appears. I didn't know that I was looking for this, until it found me. Thank you.
I like to think that also: When the teacher is ready, the student appears.
there are no taoist masters, particularly in china
@@rickdeckard1075
How come ?
Sure appears
That’s so true. It found me too 🙏🏾
Blessed to live in this golden age. People would have to walk miles to get this knowledge. All I had to do was press pixels on a screen to find this. Thank you for posting this.
Best comment 💯
"Medicine is not as good as food, and food is not as good as qi." WOW! I loved that statement.
Hmmm, I thought that was interesting too!
Pharmaceutical companies would disagree...lol
@@donkeykong516 Why would a pharmaceutical company want you to be healthy? If people are healthy then they wouldn't make any money...
Loved too

Just goes to show that Dads are the same the world over!!! 😂. So glad you kept that part in as it created an extra layer of humanity in an already wonderful video.

Agree Lemy. its that very same humanity that permeates all of Grandmaster Gu s work. Some of it mayve even rubbed off on GT. ty
"Yo. Dad. Filmin' a film here..."
[Dad continues to go with the flow and do yard work.]
No matter what the Path...Intension is everything. Whatever you do...with good intention...goes a long way. As a Taoist Monk of 51 years...I chose the path of Tao long ago. I have NO regrets...Not a single one. I tease and say...only regret...I didn't start earlier. But...here I am now...in the Tao.🙏📿📿🙏
May Buddha have mercy. Greetings friend Uli. I have been a buddhist monk since childhood, some 60 years this year. Intention is good. Qi is better.
The qi follows the yi. Greetings and best wishes.
@@judorandy What's "yi"? Serious question, first time seeing that term. I'm a newbie to all this, so it should be no surprise that I am ignorant.
@@waaagh3203 Yi is intent.
@@judorandy judorandy , thank you so much for that ... I also never heard of that term before .
The scene around the training area is beautiful, tranquil, and peaceful.
Until the chickens start up !
Indeed. It's a chinese temple. See other videos for architecture. Especially the new one where master Gu does a tai chi sanfeng 64
I agree, had me thinking of heading down there for a few
I've been practicing qi gong for over a year and I've went from being unable to walk short distances with so much pain it would make me pass out to being able to walk around much better. Qi gong has helped me and I plan to practice it more and more. I hope to be able to help others with this knowledge one day.
Keep on :)) You ll only get better !!
@@mandaeandt1433 Thanks a lot. I will. :D
...I teach qigong and..like you have...a walking issue...much worse a state before qigong...like the real in the video and the humanity of it I can only see the enriched essence of bringing in my personal experience to humble and deepen my empathy for others ..rather than often using term to lead in rigid way I walk beside or lead from behind and with
@@PlanetPlantPeople That sounds like a good way to do it. I am sorry for your walking issue and hope that it gets better. Thanks for your insights. :)

Always love a master who laughs at his own moment of carelessness and his dad in the video. I'm all smiles
I've been practising Qi Gong since October last and I don't have a physical teacher right now, yet the universe is delivering lessons to me in the perfect timing.
I have practiced buddhist meditation and energy healing for many years now but have never known such a purely, simple and direct way to connect to source.
I would recommend Qi Gong to everyone! I've fallen in love here ❤🎉
Namaste.
My favorite part about Mr Gu is that he is a pure example of what it means to feel harmonious and in balance. His energy is so wonderful! I appreciate your content George, keep it up.
do you practice qi-gong still?
He reminds me of a calm and happy version of Shang tsung.
I like this. One must have patience to perform qi gong
This means I'm not the only one who came here thinking about mortal kombat haha
...and one should practice qi gong to acquire patience.
@Zoot noooo
D:
As a student of qi gond, tai qi and yoga practices, these are essential in optimal health and wellness. This is the best introduction to these sacred practices I've seen to date. Thank you so much for this real life demonstration!
Dokładnie
This is really great----I was wondering about this. I also love the playfulness that Master Gu has about his Dad. Made me smile!
Its so lovely Lisa. Master Gu is notoriously playful. I heard he hid the rake from his dad for fun, and dad found it a few minutes before this video was filmed. It was a playful, fun moment between father and son. ty
The Master's English Pronunciation is full of strong Qi ❣️
Doesnt matter , his message transcends mere pronunciation
Oh my! This video is awesome! The captioning is perfect! I know how hard captioning is, I wanted you to know how much I appreciate it. Thank You!
This ancient wisdom is priceless. Great job promoting such a humble master too. His kindness radiates off his very being which can be felt through his voice.
I started learning Qi Gong over 2 years ago now also from a beautifully kind master. It was immediately following a full blown kundalini rising (raising 3 snake like liquid lights up my astral spine and out of my crown). Without getting into too much detail about the mystical experiences that followed. I was forced to dance and cry profusely & uncontrollably until I started training the Qi Gong breath 24/7. Along with the routine of YiJinJing (muscle & tendon strengthening Qi Gong). Which ultimately helped me ground that other worldly energy. Allowing me to integrate my deepened understandings of how I got there & finding balance afterwards back into society as a craft or an art.
Totally recommend this traditional knowledge to anyone embarking on an inner journey to deepen their own understanding of the cosmos. Also, I would mention that meditation is foundational to anything Qi Gong beforehand for maximizing benefits.
Your timing is impeccable especially when i started looking into and practicing Qiqong along with taichi, all I'm try to say is that the universe is saying something.
Much love to you brother and Master Gu
Wonderful! Much love xx
Hello George! thanks for sharing Master Gu intro, MY name is Gustavo and I am from Mendoza, Argentina. 6 months ago I had problems with my cervicals, traditional medicine did not give me answers, so I met a teacher here who did Chinese acupuncture and I started my journey at that time. I started reading and watching qi gong videos on my own, and that led me to feel much better, the practice is daily, but my perspective on health and my physical condition changes day by day. It is good that you continue to share your experience because it serves all of us who do not have the chance to go to that magical place and meet Master GU. Thanks a lot!!
This video is deep education for me. Master Gu has compressed 2700 years of history like Lao Tzu into a single video.
And so it begins… Grateful to have found you ☺️
Welcome aboard!
Bless you George and Master Gu, you are doing a beautiful thing for the world.
My wife and I are the caretakers of our Tao Sanctuary in Bochum Germany, working to bring a bit of light to this part of the universe.
We wish you both great success, you both deserve it. Let us know if your travels ever bring you in this direction.
Thank you Master for your teachings!
Thank you for the support! 🙏
It seems to me that this is a practice that would bring Inner Harmony to those who practice it. Thank you Master Gu and George for what you do has the potential to make the world a better place for us all.
There's so much beneficial wisdom that qigong and the tao provide. ❤
I love Master Gu teachings and appreciate him and George for the inspiration and insight that they give us.
Is the best explanation about Qi Gong I've heard in my life! Thank you so much!
Thank you Master Gu for your beautiful answers to the most prominent questions we get asked as Qigong Practitioners. I love how the swans come up to you whilst you are practicing Ba Duan Jin and how you show humour with your Dad. Very informative and beautiful to watch. I definitely want to visit the peaceful Wudang Mountains now and I am super grateful for the energy you provide and the ancient Qigong forms, thanks for sharing.
What a beautiful place. I love qi gong. And, I love everything about ancient Chinese thought and culture. It's endlessly fascinating.
Brilliant video! Master Gu, as always, inspiring. George, this is one of your best videos. Beautiful shot! Well done! Thank you so much!
1 English as the universal language
2 worldwide web to connect us all
3 Learn the best from each and every culture
4 Silent but infinite gratefulness to the Divine Source of it all
Thank you so much!
You two are shining loving souls🙏🏼
Thank you both for your efforts!
Thank you for taking the time to share this information with us.
Also, I love that your father is living his best gardening life and that you included that here.
haha indeed. thanks for watching!
Thank you so much for posting. I was a Taoist when I was much younger, still am really. It gave me a wonderful calm and centerless perspectiveless perspective from which to experience life, and be life, and be one with life. Simplicity.🙏🏽💙☯️
Thank you again Master Gu for your video on Qi Gong! Your teachings are a blessing! From Florida USA!
It would be amazing to practice Taiji Qigong with such an amazing master. Breathe in peace and exhale love. 🙏
just like in the history of adam and eva who got the holy breath in their bodies for them to be fully living human beings able to experience the power of CHI that also flows in the nature and every thing that was created by the power of God.Adam and Eve where made with ground , not sand that is clear like white and not argile that is red or orange coloured ...africa is the craddle of humanity ,and the oldest proof of it was found in a region lived by the kongos,so LUCY OR LUCIA was surely a kongo woman.the people outhere speak the ki kongo also pronounced tchi kongo, the mother of every tongue on earth...i alwasy say " its all going back to kongo, where it all started " ...have you ever heard about the black origin of budah ? there are anciant scriptures and statues showing that,as it is with mohamed and jesus and all the black madonna statues you found everywhere in europe....all the bible is about the history of the kongos...this the truth that was rejected by the rest of the world, the reason why jesus or issa ,yeshua or yisu( in ki kongo language) was hated , the reason why the early christians were not accepted in europe and were persecuted ....i always say KONGO LIVES MATTER ! the world will be at peace if people accept without frustration the special position of the kongo ( THE MAN; THE LAND;THE SPIRIT)....again as i often ask myself " who pretends better ? " THERE IS NO OTHER PART OF THE WORLD THAT CAN PRETEND TO BE THE PROMISED LAND IN THE BIBLE WHERE HONEY AND MILK FLOWS, EXCEPT THE KONGO REGION;THERE IS NO OTHER PEOPLE ON EARTH THE HISTORY OF WHICH RESEMBLES THE HEBREW PEOPLE IN THE BIBLE APART FROM THE KONGOS ( slavery + chains = PEOPLE OF GOD = ORIGINAL ISRAELITES)...i hope you people don't think am a racist, not at all , my family is a mixed one , and the way of kong, never was that of oversupremacy or kind of cultural imperialism, its all about sharing our knowledge with the rest of the world,that are all actually our descendants.There are many other people by this time of covid and even before doing the same researches like me trying to understand why on earth that silence, that violence, when facing the KONGO ?
Who is that strong man that was brought to the americas in the place of the native americans who where dying under hardlabour conditions and less resistant to diseases the europeans brought there ? is that maybe the one who helped build the pyramids in kemet ( original name of egypt = LAND OF THE BLACKS) ? how come that the oldest proof of human being ability to cope with mathematics was found on the ISHANGO BONES (in the Democratic Republic of Congo) called the first tablet of the world ecxisting long time before the great egytian cilization, older than papyrus and so on? the D.R.C posses alone 70 % of the all Raw material you can find in the world and what if we consider the entire region of the Kongo going far beyond the borders made by europeans at the kongo conference ( more known as the berlin conference) ? is it just a luck that the Nile gets its source in the Kongo region ( hoping you what the nile means to Egypt and even spiritually)? what was so unique with the uranium from Congo as the american chose that one to make the atomic bombe against hiroshima and nagasaki ? when I watched marvels Black panther , i said some knew all the time who we are ,now that blacks and WHITE kongo descendants are coming back to the light, getting back their stolen history,thei lost paradise and civilization, they start little by little releasing the Truth.....PS: WA KANDA IN KI KONGO means the one that belongs to he family( kANDA).......so let us stay and stick together in the way of the truth, humility,love .....PEACE !!!! ruclips.net/video/c9VQye6P8k0/видео.html.....ruclips.net/video/N2CE6_NH3fo/видео.html....
Rols, this was around way before Ads and Eve got wind of it. Glad they did in the end.
thank you to share your wisdom i feel better straigh away may the flowers bloom for you eternelly peace and love
Thank you, what an incredible home you have, so beautiful. What a marvel to share from this place!!!
I love your culture, beeing in harmony with the earth 🙏
Thank you for the kind words, Barbareli 🫶
A. Ma. Zing! I absolutely love love LOVE qi gong! I've been practicing it for 2 days as of the writing of this comment, and I absolutely LOVE it! Learning more about taoism opened my eyes more! I'm going to incorporate taoism into my practices. Thank you so much, MAster Gu and George Thompson!
What a wonderful video. A true master of Qi gong in such a beautiful setting.
Thank you for your very kind comment, Leighton! ❤️
I have never felt drawn or connected to any religion or philosophy in particular, I considered myself to be agnostic but I've really been struggling with my mental health and RUclips has started to suggest videos about Taoism and I finally feel the draw of something bigger than myself. It's the only thing that has ever felt right to me ❤ I ordered some books and I'm excited to start practice
I hope you're better now 😊
I already felt peace. That place is so beautiful and the master is great. His English is so good omg.
I thought this was very interesting. I have been receiving acupuncture medicine from a Chinese Medicine Doctor and the experience has expanded my understanding of the body and its energy. I'd love to keep learning more from the wisdom of these Ancient teachings.
I feel the love from this teacher.
Master Gu truly is how he comes across on the videos: a kind hearted and generous man 😊
wow his english is excellent. intonation, syllable and word stress. very impressive
Beautiful and peaceful. Thanks for this
I would love to live there just so peaceful.
OK. But leave your gun behind. CMJ
The peace comes from within.
The beauty of these videos gets me everytime.... It looks a lot like the mountains where I live.
Beautifully filmed and edited. And Master Gu as informative as always.
What’s not to love.
Plus some absolutely stunning scenery as the perfect backdrop.
Amazing how the quality of these videos has improved from the first few days you arrived there 👍
How can 1 give this a thumbs down. Craziness. Its amazing stuff. Been doing it for some 27 years ...
Thank You so much for Your kindness to share all your wisdom and knowledge and to do all this work, so I am able to watch and pracitice Qi gong in Austria on a wonderful rainy springday, Thank You so so so much
As always, wonderful video George. I hope to study there soon. Both of you are really an inspiration to us all.
glad you enjoyed Alberto!
@@George-Thompson I received a reply that was not addressed to me but I enjoy your work anyway
I hope to go an study September 2021 for 3 months. Hopefully travel will be easier then, and I'll have got the vaccine.
@@carlparker9995 hope you got to the bottom of it.
@@sonisheree hey, what does it mean, "go and study"? Where were you planning to go? How to get there, where is it? It sounds so curious
Thanks for the great video. The Master really gives off a fluid vibration.
Thank you for a beautiful and informative video. I started doing Qi Gong in about Apr'20, and I'm much more flexible and energetic. It helps me stay calm and reduces stress, but I didn't know the differences/similarities. Now thanks to you, I do! (The little humorous 'out-takes" were amusing too).
Thank you... May the force be with you.
Qi gong is amazing. I took a class once and afterward felt incredibly sick and nauseated. I truly believe it had released toxic energy lodged deep in me.
How lovely and vibrant the teacher is! Thank you very much for bringing this wisdom outside of mountains.
Always excellent and timely! Thank you Brothers! ✊🏾 #OneLove 🙏🏾
🙌
Thank you George ~ I started practising Qi Gong during lockdown via a RUclips clip (Kseny) I’ve found it very beneficial and also watched many of your videos 🙏🏼🇦🇺
Beautiful, informative, inspiring. Great camera work, too.
Glad you liked it!
Thank you for this explanation...and the bit of humor with the Dad was delightful and human element.
Mr Thompson, your dedication to Daoism, is incredible and your content production is a window to the Daoism and to Wudong centre. Inspirational and digital wealth for future generations of the world.
I love Master Gu. He always makes me smile and I took his courses online, very informative.
Thank you so much
Stunning! Master Gu imparts his wisdom in such a beautiful way. Looking forward to learning more.
After many years of following Master Gu & George I registered for the Qi Gong Online Academy. I anxiously await my first lesson after teaching today. Be well and many thanks for this opportunity, Michele Schmidt.
Thank you for this amazing, well explained video. And I also greatly appreciate the plethora of links you added in the description. Very helpful and beautifully shot and edited!
Geoff Thompson’s daily routine of Chi Gung brought me to seeking out chi gung and I found this video.
That’s wonderful to hear! Keep practicing and embracing the energy. 🙏
George, Master Gu and team, great job I’m a little saddened when I read the comments below. The people feel they must wait to visit the Academy. I’m certain some do. But if you don’t have to wait, don’t! The online Academy is amazing!!! As a member of Master Gu’s academy the training, teachings, examples are beyond compare. I am so grateful to have become a practicer with this Taoist family, it is just like actually being there, almost 😀. I’m learning and being exposed to so much that I wish I could practice all day! Thank you for your excellent teachings.
See you at the Academy! 🤗
The problem is, as I see it, if you've never been in touch with your Chi, all you're doing is moving your hands around to-and-fro and breathing unnaturally. I feel as though there is something more to this which is fundamental, and the movements and breathing are just one avenue of access. I feel as though one can and should keep Chi balanced while living an ordinary life.
Lovely and beautiful! Thanks for your time and all the effort that everyone puts to create excellent content. Wish some day I will be there too. Blessings!
Master Gu, thank you for your good words. We need to learn more about a healthy diet and TCM and integrate the good words of Hippocrates as well.
Thank you for watching!
I started practicing Qi Gong and have never felt so good! My energy is back but down side is emotions and memories are strong too! I’m hoping with more practice comes balance of body and mind.
absolutely agree with Teacher GU!
Thank you so much for this video and for all the information shared in the description. I have been practicing by myself and trying to study more about Qi Gong and found hard to find what books to read. Very much appreciated!
Keep up the good work!
I feel more relaxed just listening about it
Thank you for this great video !
When Master Gu explains the full meaning of Daoyin, I see clearly its connection to Taiji and related Qigong :)
Also, when he does the Taiji forms, the grace is ethereal, like he's drifting through water ! :)
He looks so peaceful
Many of the tribes still practice taoism here but my clan preached hinduism now but we still practice little bit of taoism. Taoism, buddhism and other tai phake culture is still practiced here
The freedom of the human soul is essential, loved the video!
I'd love to travel there to learn and practice and have the pleasure of living with harmony 💞🙏
Qi Gong has so many beautiful movements - just watching is so very calming. This form of exercise fascinates me - I look forward to learning more while participating. Thank you for this introduction. ☮️
As Lao Tzu wrote in the Tao Te Ching, “Simplicity, patience, compassion. These three are your greatest treasures”. Your wonderful video evokes a sense of these qualities and makes them come alive. Thank you dear Master Gu and George for practicing and promoting the art of peace in creative ways.
...hello; simplicity is very difficult to achieve if you are interested in many things. Do you think that now we can enjoy those ancient magnificent buildings like in this video if those men from the past did not have the taste for complexity? (and the money and education) nothing of that is simple or simplicity
@@TheReverb1 whatever you are interested in, will have this progression.
For an amateur, a punch is a punch.
For an expert, a punch is no longer a punch.
For a master, a punch is a punch.
@@karl2405 No doubt that is interesting however, as mentioned before, a great construction is always a great construction and that is no simplicity
@@TheReverb1 depends on your viewpoint. For me, buildings are complex, for my engineering mentor, buildings are simple, no matter how great. they follow principles of laws of nature.
If you are interested in many things, you can become a master and make all of those things very simple in your own kind. Even if together, it seems colossal.
Gratitude, thank you for this production.
When I started trying to Cultivate Qi...like lighting a fire in the Rain. Then...one day...I was in the shower...I looked at my hands. Houston...we have lift off. My Xi could tell even before I said anything. As I walked up to class....he said...You got it don't you. 📿🙏📿🙏📿🙏📿🙏📿🙏📿As you said...Tapping into Internal Qi...and Universal Qi.
Thank you, Master Gu.
MMA FIGHTER - LIVES 60 (WITH INJURIES AND OTHER HEALTH PROBLEMS)
TAI CHI MASTER - LIVES OVER 100 , WITHOUT ANY HEALTH PROBLEM
To be fair though, unlike an MMA fighter, the Tai Chi master doesn't get the shit kicked out of him.
@@Axiomatic75 Agreed. It is like the vegan plant eater that has no strength to do heavy work and has to resort to calling a meat eater to really get the work done. I was glad you caught that.
That’s my issue, be sure to rest and let your body heal, it’s very easy to over train your body
@@zoximrai2207 I agree. The pump in most exercise can be very addictive to a point where people cannot see the body crying out for a healing rest..
Not at all the mma fighter actually fights and puts his body through things that make tai chi look easy
How very blessed you are to have your FATHER. Mine returned to Spirit 54 years ago, when I was seven years old. I still miss and long for him.
Qi is the reality that lays beneath the shimmering surface of all things in the universe.
Qigong is working de Qi.
Taiji is qigong with Congfu.
Congfu is about the practice because practice is Congfu.
Congfu is skill attained with time, energy+effort.
By earnest effort, discipline+self-control,
Let the wise man build for himself a garden which no flood shall over whelmed.
Thanks for sharing. I have been looking up for Qi Gong and Tai Channels for more than 10 months now on RUclips. This is the first video that really impressed me by giving some deeper understanding.
Yes, I know ''Qi Gong'' reminded you of someone, so now you're thinking about good old Qui-Gon Jinn. So do I.
i adore these. being in lockdown for the 5th time, this bring life and the statement, "medicine is not as good as food, and food is not as good as qi."brought a huge smile :D thank you
Hello! I started practicing chi kung 4 weeks ago (i have a weekly class) and I'm enjoying it so much. The last two weeks I have been practicing the routine our teacher gave us everyday, and the last couple of days i've been experiencing some corporal movements (like the ones I get when I'm practicing, like little contractions or balancing movements) when I'm not practicing, like when I'm on the shower or about to sleep, or about to eat, or even while focusing on work. Is it normal? is it like a phase? I'm not scared or worried I just would like to know if this passes or if there is any tips you would give me. Muchas gracias!!
Ask your teacher... probably knows.
Gracias Thank you ever so much. From Bolivia.
Though it said “what is qui gon jin”
TelluricDeepDown That’s probably where George Lucas got it. He has always been big on Eastern philosophy and mysticism
pre midichlorian Jedi are basically internal gongfu/qi gong. good example, the scenes when Luke is training with Yoda.
Thank you so much for this video ❤🧡💛💚💙💜🤎🖤🤍
Dad we're trying to make a video here.

Cultivating energy but primarily inner peace. When the mind is calm, the chi also flows freely thus healing the body. For a long time in my life, I identified myself with my hurt ego thus fueling anger and inflammation in the body. I got severely depressed and anxious to the point of developing multiple sclerosis. I no longer have control over my body so the various neuronal synapses that allow energy to travel throughout the body via the nervous system got disconnected. At first I was very enraged by the situation and I made it much worse to the point of having been mostly bed ridden for the past two years. However, when there was nowhere else to go and nothing else to do, I got enlightened. Everything is a reflection of who we are thus by being clear minded and peaceful and let everything and everyone go, no matter the circumstances without regrets and fear, you can feel the chi starting to flow again and my heart beat pumping at unison with the rest of the universe. I am finally home!
😊🤗😀💖😁☺️🙌
I hope to one day find a monk I can study and learn from. There is so much of Tao I only barely start to grasp the base concepts and only have myself to teach and be taught
Respected Master, just blessed to have received your blessings. Thank you again.
