What I love about Yin and Yang philosophy is that you can only be aware of something by contrast. So when youre feeling anxious you can realize that this anxiety can only exist against a background of peace, otherwise you wouldn't be able to notice it. So just like you can listen to the silence beneath sound, you can be aware of the peace beneath your fear.

Having studied most major Eastern Traditions to some extent (except Confucianism) I can't help but think that the East has such a healthier view of human nature and the world than the West.

As a Wudang Taoist Master, im pleased to see many who have seen this apply Taoist philosophy into their lives and have positive change!

who else is watching this video and getting inspired by it during the 2020 corona virus pandemic?

There is no greater calling than to promote peace and harmony.

I'm not a Taoist but I've always been drawn to the yin yang and it's deeper meaning.

"You can make your own yin and yang wherever you go." Oooooh I felt it right inside my heart! *makes yin and yang hand gesture*

[xholydiver]

A beautiful, helpful teaching. Thank you so much for sharing!

An example of Taoism from the Hebrew Scriptures:
There is a time for everything,
and a season for every activity under the heavens:
a time to be born and a time to die,
a time to plant and a time to uproot,
a time to kill and a time to heal,
a time to tear down and a time to build,
a time to weep and a time to laugh,
a time to mourn and a time to dance.

I live in the U.S. and it's a scary place. I identify with taoism and am a peaceful person, but one cannot simply tolerate everything...in taoist teachings, how does one know when and how to act, react, resist, and protect? When society and the whole planet are unbalanced, how can balance be restored?

Having a philosophical talk along with tea in beautiful mountains.. I mean can't imagine anything better

George proves to be a great guy to once again offer such a great work!

Hey man, I just wanted to say that I love what your doing. I love how your videos hold much authenticity and honesty. I also appreciate the dream you have to spread peace with this culture. Here in the west, I'm finding it difficult to be around people who aren't interested in looking for purpose or at least appear that way. Everyone is a sceptic about new techniques I have to share and that's totally valid, I guess.

There's this conflict I have between "being there for people - helping them find fulfilment" but being aware that these people don't show love back which is hard because it takes a lot of energy.

There's a part of me that says that writing this is unnecessary. That it is merely keeping me in these low spirits. However, I do value what I am feeling at the moment. I am in a reflective mood. The day was very full on - not what I'm used to. I was happy to socialise and felt I was able to connect with people more but...maybe it's just new to me.

I want to keep trying to reinforce my own purpose. I don't want to forget my new year's resolutions and all the work I've done to build who I am today. I realise that change takes time and that is important. Hahaha I guess it's all part of the fun huh. You know, maybe this is a type of help to the world. I suppose it's a sort of manifestation of what I want for the future of the world and my world.

Should the only reason I want a change in my life be that there is a problem that needs fixing? No. I have needs, as humans do. I want to do my best to suffice my needs. Sometimes I forget that they are even needs - and this is all part of the process of life.

What does the future look like for a growing soul? I don't know everything - or do I? How does one know something to be true? Data is useful for the surface matters of life, in fact, I don't disregard data in any way. Data is just a form of information in a form that expresses the idea's true form (as best we can at least). I think the trap is how that data is interpreted.

Am I overthinking? No. Partly. I don't care.. :)

[Curly_Ange]

I am a christian but I love, love your videos and love Taoism. I am studying it myself at home. Thank you soooo much, you inspire many!

[kennedymusunka]

The yin&yang is the philosophy we really have to put at heart . Yin and yang it's a beautiful philosophy we need to have more of these videos.

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.

Happy learning!

With love,

[MunqithAlazzawi]

A Facebook friend shared your video after I shared it in there, which pretty clear that this video added value not only for myself but also for him as well. Keep up the good work buddy

[lornaforsyth]

I loved the quote 'if you frown in the mirror the mirror frowns back, if you smile in the mirror the mirror smiles back' so what you put out you will receive beautiful and very much align with recognising and working with the seasons and observing the abundance of nature - working with it raterthan against it. thank you for sharing loving the teachings
