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.

“When you drink a cup of tea just enjoy the tea”

Honestly a good little mantra for life. That tea is that moment you should be in.

''Finding peace doesn't necessarily means WHAT we do, but instead HOW we do it.'' ❤
Thank you for the reminder!

I stayed with Master Gu years ago. He’s aging well. The video was wonderful. Loved your hat at the end — Make Nature Great Again.

[Johnathan-esad]

George, this video could not have come at a better time! I didn't sleep well last night and woke up in a bad mood because of past occurrences. I watched the video twice and I feel better now. Thank you, George and my thanks to Master Gu as well.

[louandbarb]

Always a beautifully crafted piece of art, George. You and Master Gu make the world a better place.

[amydecker]

Thank you for this beautiful reminder! I used Qigong to heal a back injury many years ago and was very grateful for what I learned, but got away from the practice. This is a life practice and I thank you for helping me remember. After watching this brief video I went outside and resumed my practice.🙏💜

[alquimistika]

You are a good man George, thanks for keeping it up with your Taoist postings

[pjheijnenster]

Purety, inner stillness, put your eyes of the computer, respect your spouse, ancestors & natural Qi joy. Be thankful. Thank you both for expressing simple daily balance.😊🧡🙏🌻

[ZenobiWhite]

This video made my morning coffee more mindful and enjoyable! Thank you George

[camilam.rodriguezroldan]

Thank you so much for this video! It reminds us that happiness is much more simple than we think. I really love how Taoism is just so simple, yet effective. I love how you always add a summary thumbnail at the end of your videos to have all the tips in the same place, thank you!

[ZsuzsannaSpiry]

Thank you for this video, George! It's so nice to be back to the Woudang Mountain! To partake of this natural beauty, pure poetry! Xie-xie 🤜🤛

[brianlmeyers]

HI George, I was a little critical of a previous video so I think it is only fair to tell you how much I really enjoyed this one. This is beautifully done. Peaceful. Mindful. And I love the message - Which I will endeavor to practice. Thank you for this.

[raybakey]

" Master Gu" and George, , Thank You.. I needed this as I am in a large life change at the moment and I will incorporate these thoughts into my day.. Again Thank You " NAMASTAE"

[curated-selfcare]

That was award-winning (or at least should be).

[katriinagrant]

...and, we are energy. If we have witnessed a process of someone passing away in our presence, we will know the difference between being alive in our physical form, or not being energetically present any longer in the physical form. Lovely film. Let us enjoy every small aspect of life daily, as we are awareness, that we are. Life is full of beauty and preciousness 🙏☀️🕊

[Mooseman]

Thanks so much for this simple and yet profound list. There are so many practical tips here.

[lostbutfound]

2 cups of tea from the moment I wake up before my brain starts to stir.lol.Still master Gu is right!We must do what we love from within listen to our hearts and not so much our heads when it comes to fulfilment in an open and unselfish way.

[agnesbonnet]

Wonderful message, thank you so much, gorgeous George! I see life, once lived in presence and having bonded with it, as a breathtaking adventure we can thoroughly enjoy since we are eternally whole and safe. Life can be totally crazy, but we are more than it and despite appearances, everything is fine.
