    When the student is ready, the teacher appears. I didn't know that I was looking for this, until it found me. Thank you.

    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.
  • @twaty4
    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.

    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.🙏📿📿🙏
  • 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.
  • 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. <3

    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 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.
  • @asyik6
    The scene around the training area is beautiful, tranquil, and peaceful.
  • @crashroots
    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.
  • @mattnobrega6621
    He reminds me of a calm and happy version of Shang tsung. I like this. One must have patience to perform qi gong
  • @schmanaaa
    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.
  • @Jessica-ht3tw
    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!
  • @lisar.4335
    This is really great----I was wondering about this. I also love the playfulness that Master Gu has about his Dad. Made me smile!

    The Master's English Pronunciation is full of strong Qi ❣️
  • 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!!
  • Geoff Thompson’s daily routine of Chi Gung brought me to seeking out chi gung and I found this video.
