The Art of Effortless Living (Taoist Documentary)

The Art of Effortless Living is a documentary based on the traditional philosophy and essential teaching of Taoism. The practice of nondoing, nonforcing is the essential aspect of Taoism known as wu-wei. Attributed to the great sage Lao-tzu, the philosophy of wu-wei teaches you how to develop a natural state of consciousness not bound by thought or preconceived limitations. Experienced by the greatest artists, athletes, musicians, and writers, this heightened state of consciousness, referred to as "being in the zone," is where intelligent spontaneity and effortless action flourish via a practice rooted in permitting the natural harmony of the cosmos to prevail. Essentially, how to live life effortlessly. Wu-wei can yield a renewed sense of trust in many aspects of your daily life, making each day more effortless. The Art of Effortless Living provides keen insight on how you can experience the beauty of achieving an enlightened, effortless mind while reveling in the process of life's unfolding.

When you don't force yourself upon life, you realize you ARE life. ❤️

“ we go to jobs we hate, to buy things we don’t need, to impress people we don t care about.” 🤔

A friend sent me this video. I have been going through the grief of losing my youngest daughter to a violent murder. This video was very informative and has me thinking that I need to listen to it again. My life has been devastated and I'm trying to find some peace. I am a Christian and pray many times a day. I am thankful in my prayers but I also ask for things that this video has made me see is not the right thing to do. Thank you for posted this video. Have a blessed day.

I've been having a really hard time lately, when I wake up I hate who I am. I have been letting how others treat me affect my self image to a point that I feel utterly useless. This video brought me to tears as I listened while watching the trees outside sway with the wind. I'm done fighting my past failures, and hoping for a better future. I'm throwing myself into the now, and whatever happens will be just fine with me. Thank you so much for sharing this enlightenment

“When you don’t force yourself upon life you discover that you ARE life”

Just wanted to remember this quote

As a young child I felt the oneness. Then society took over. Thank you

Who else is watching this in 2020 during the covid-19 pandemic?

Taoism saved me when nothing else could. Drugs, doctors, money, psychiatrists, lovers, friends, family.
They will all leave you empty without the tao.

I was just crying because I’m tired of all the expectations the capitalistic life have of us and when I came across this video, I became so calm

“Fill your bowl to the brim
and it will spill.
Keep sharpening your knife
and it will blunt.
Chase after money and security
and your heart will never unclench.
Care about people's approval
and you will be their prisoner. Do your work, then step back.
The only path to serenity.”
Lao Tzu

A wise one will be seen as a fool in a profoundly sick society

the greatest wisdom seems childish."

No matter how many times I watch this, I always find it so uplifting, reassuring and calming. Thanks as ever Jason.

As a musician I have experienced the flow state. So blissful and all the anxiety from society fall away leaving the being of life, joy, and inner happiness.

We all knew this once.
Then we had to go to school...
