I practice zazen and I´m a yoga teacher. I believe that doesn´t matter what kind of meditation tecnique or discipline you choose, or what kind of discipline choosed you. Hold it and practice every day. Every school of thought, every "spiritual" path has something to teach us. I´m learning a lot right now thanks to you and Master Gu.
This channel is amazing.

Master Gu is such a hip dude who understands tradition and lives in the modern world. 👌🌎

I have sence age 6 fell in love with martial arts started with Taekwondo 9 yrs into that my training the family relocated.
I then found small class in Tai Chi wich is big leap from were i started and struggled but did learn to calm down and focus enough to learn to meditate. Flash forward joined army got married had kids and at 38 was deployed, now with ptsd and type 2 bi-polar i...well lets say i lost focus 15 yrs later im slowly regaining it then i tripped across one of your video's sence then i repeatedly watch them and it has help a great deal.
Just wanted to say thanks! Your doin something awsome.

Thank you George and Master Gu. I have only just started my journey in Taoism. But it has helped me clear my mind I know it will be difficult for me to stay in the present and trust the tao. But I already feel better than I had been feeling. I have always engaged in a lot of down talk and bad or harmful inner monologue. Having only recently just found Taoism I already feel better after applying some of the basic principles. So thank you both I love the videos

[justinwilson]

I like when you said, " The more we live in the present the less we engaged in destructive thoughts about the past or the future."
That struck me as an obvious statement that I never stopped to realize and that alone has that message in it. 🤯

[kylec]

George, these videos are absolutely phenomenal. Thank you for everything you're doing.

I discovered dao in 2010. It changed my life and found myself in the books as i read them. Its always been us and will always be us. Ive lost more connection even after due to the worldly trials. I return because i have lost more focus than ever before. I must start practicing and return to the way.

[sammccauley]

I could listen to Master Gu speak sayings in Chinese all day

[jimkeen]

This is great stuff. I started studying Tai Chi about 2 months ago and I've noticed that after my lessons I smell things, hear things, enjoy things I hadn't even noticed on the way in. A positive mood carries through my whole day and makes all of my interactions better. Thanks for sharing these great videos. Master Gu's wisdom and your insights are the most perfect supplement I could ask for.

[anastasiakireeva]

today i tried meditation for the first time, what i did was wish happiness to everyone dear to me: i pictured every person in my mind one by one, including myself. tomorrow i'd like to try listening to the sounds of nature

I like my home. I have a chair that is made from bamboo with old fashioned pillows with brown and orange flowers on it. The chair has a vibe, you see it and think that the chair couldnt possibly be comfortable. But then i sit down in it, cross my legs, grab a book and hours can fly by. The chair fascinates me. Its made with such care and knowledge about wood, fabric and comfort, it is truely amazing.
Im telling you this because it is not always possible to go outside, and it can be very nice to just stay at home and enjoy the comfort of the place you have put a lot of work in to make it that comfortable. Remember all the painting youve done? All that hard work, and now look at it. Its a masterpiece, go enjoy it, look at your house as art, because it is not just a concrete or wood box thst you live in, your house changes like nature does, the light is different in the morning and night, looknat your plants or pets. It is so nice. Appreciate that sometimes, to find peace in your home like you would find it in nature.

That's the key to unlock unlimited potential. It took me a lifetime to get it but now, I finally fully understand it. I'm 53 years old. I do Vipassana meditation whenever I feel the need but if the monkey mind goes crazy, I chant mantras. When I was younger I learned Taijichuan in Japan which really helped me a lot in staying focussed. I would do it now too but I'm dealing with a serious health condition which has disabled me. I'm healing myself, there is a documentary called Heal which presents people who miraculously heal themselves from incurable diseases, even stage 4 cancer. We are made of energy (Qi) thus by thinking, we not only miss the joy of the present moment but we loose our energy. It's like pumping air into a tyre which has a huge hole, the hole is caused by your thoughts. Great job, George! 🤗😘😁

[xasthur]

These videos are beautiful man, keep em coming.

[gabryg]

Grazie ancora George to share these precious and gentle Contents,

🙏

[anelmarques]

Is very enjoyable to listen the Taoist Master. Thank you and peace in your journey!

[valeriepatrick]

Every once in a while, I will feel unsettled in a particular way. When this happens I turn to these videos. And as I go down through tea time taoism it always hits the spot. Somehow it is exactly what I need in that moment. I just wanted you to know that these videos help me so so much. Your work is not unnoticed. Thank you.

[WinChun]

It is a great pity they don't have programmes like this on television. Would help a lot of people out there. You make a great presenter, by the way, George.

[tishducrot]

I still love going through those older video of yours George... I still and always have something to learn from them 🥰

Chittanupassana explained very simply.
