    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.

      Is there cases where someone has learned Qi Gong and Gung Fu by inner guidance without physical teacher and without not using any physical senses? And if there is, what that then means? Does she/he then have bloodline some kind or is that impossible? I´m just curious. By the way is it in Tibet where is or has been :D (haha, this is insane), or will be kind a cave made of mud of some kind, like a cave but like a room, in somewhere mountains. And... is there custom to go meditate that place 5 days/nights, just sitting, might be cold weather, but non is not disturbing monks meditation. I got inch of monks feeling that body is there but you can be connected by telepathy in distance places. How many can sleep just 20 hours in 7 days by staying meditation most of that time? And last but not least, possible to change mindset where your mind is in meditating in high range of dimensions, like whole time. Losing connection of ego, but free to be where ever wish, experiencing different timelines and outcomes. And that what was you has gone. I had question in long time who human is and where we came from, basically when I learned to walk and understanding whats around in me and I just knew that this is not what I expect, this is not things suppose to be, like reality is broken mirror and twisted. Now I questioning whats beyond whole system? Beyond multidimensional multiverse. Sometimes I think that my road is end and what next, some connection still keeps me here. Hard last 6 month changed me, and I just trying focus to be river. Its calming me, nobody didint teach me in whole this life time how to process feeling healthy way, and thats the point where I find Kung Fu and Qi Gong. I got feeling inside me sometimes what is like fire, like dragon and oh boy, mystical way things around me what uses electricity wont last. I think that oh new random case when my lamp dies, computer screen and washing machine. I dont know what has happened to me. I know that Im not only one, there is quite many who has awaken and maybe been thinkin that who Im now. Like borning again. We all are different, but together in this whole system we are one. Thats when realized that what I was thinking that "I´m" does not exist. I want to warn everyone that path what I have choced is not easy, I could compare that mental hell what needs to overcome is like hard military training(imagining), where your ego is ripped off and when you find out that you are still standing, but stronger. Not easy and fun. Now I use my time mostly writing and training, I should train more often. Shoulder does still recover, made Kung Fu + Qi Gong moves with emotions and that is not right way. There is quite much energy in Kung Fu when you have strong Qi and emotions, felt that my hand detouch in shoulder, but it was rupture in muscle. So when your Shifu says that smooth moves, you may have good to listen. When you are breathing, do it with focus till you have harmonise your body to breath right way by it self. Be aware where you focus your attention/awareness, because of law of attraction. And then Taoism wise Laozi, be the river, let go, come part of it, see all beauty around it, example focus seeing in your minds eye- bird flying somewhere over the river, then examine that bird in every angle and its character, how free and happy its. There is no time when someone can stop learning, even same situation in your life or same book may teach you different lesson when you let time go and repeat it. Thats why there is things what come to your life again and again, might be hard sometimes, but believe or not its love. Its after all love that you face same things again and again till you are ready to let go, by your free will in harmony. You might be confused why this text has different person views, someone might adapt this message better this way. This year is big game changing. Find your inner power and instinct, learn to trust your inner guidance. You can also ask while meditating that please can I have inner guidance, in that way what gives you peace. And movie Eat, pray and love teach that smile till your heart smiles

    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.

" THERE IS NO OTHER PART OF THE WORLD THAT CAN PRETEND TO BE THE PROMISED LAND IN THE BIBLE WHERE HONEY AND MILK FLOWS, EXCEPT THE KONGO REGION;THERE IS NO OTHER PEOPLE ON EARTH THE HISTORY OF WHICH RESEMBLES THE HEBREW PEOPLE IN THE BIBLE APART FROM THE KONGOS ( slavery + chains = PEOPLE OF GOD = ORIGINAL ISRAELITES)...i hope you people don't think am a racist, not at all , my family is a mixed one , and the way of kong, never was that of oversupremacy or kind of cultural imperialism, its all about sharing our knowledge with the rest of the world,that are all actually our descendants.There are many other people by this time of covid and even before doing the same researches like me trying to understand why on earth that silence, that violence, when facing the KONGO ?
      Who is that strong man that was brought to the americas in the place of the native americans who where dying under hardlabour conditions and less resistant to diseases the europeans brought there ? is that maybe the one who helped build the pyramids in kemet ( original name of egypt = LAND OF THE BLACKS) ? how come that the oldest proof of human being ability to cope with mathematics was found on the ISHANGO BONES (in the Democratic Republic of Congo) called the first tablet of the world ecxisting long time before the great egytian cilization, older than papyrus and so on? the D.R.C posses alone 70 % of the all Raw material you can find in the world and what if we consider the entire region of the Kongo going far beyond the borders made by europeans at the kongo conference ( more known as the berlin conference) ? is it just a luck that the Nile gets its source in the Kongo region ( hoping you what the nile means to Egypt and even spiritually)? what was so unique with the uranium from Congo as the american chose that one to make the atomic bombe against hiroshima and nagasaki ? when I watched marvels Black panther , i said some knew all the time who we are ,now that blacks and WHITE kongo descendants are coming back to the light, getting back their stolen history,thei lost paradise and civilization, they start little by little releasing the Truth.....PS: WA KANDA IN KI KONGO means the one that belongs to he family( kANDA).......so let us stay and stick together in the way of the truth, humility,love .....PEACE !!!! ua-cam.com/video/c9VQye6P8k0/v-deo.html.....ua-cam.com/video/N2CE6_NH3fo/v-deo.html....

But if you don’t have to wait, don’t! The online Academy is amazing!!! As a member of Master Gu’s academy the training, teachings, examples are beyond compare. I am so grateful to have become a practicer with this Taoist family, it is just like actually being there, almost 😀. I’m learning and being exposed to so much that I wish I could practice all day! Thank you for your excellent teachings.

    Hello Mr Thompson, I am in hope that you will see this message, as I am in hope all is well with you.
    I have suffered great trauma in my life from early on even into my adult hood.
    These events lead me on a path of destruction as a drug user and addiction.
    I have suffered with depression and anxiety, as well as fear.
    I recently went into a outpatient treatment center where I have been getting counseling as well as medication in an attempt to start the healing process after so many years, I came on cross your UA-cam videos with sifu who teaches and instruct in Qigong,, after going through and listening to you and your sifu on the benefits of practicing Qigong and how it can help in balancing your chi energy and healing benefits, I am in great hope this will help me as I start this journey to healing from past trauma and addiction.
    I desire to be healthy and whole , to feel joy and peace.
    I cannot speak for others but for me I feel I have found the answer in which I have been searching for. I want to thank you for allowing this information it's instructions and teaching to available to all, to thank your sifu for his wisdom and teaching on how to do Qigong and it's benefits, as well as it's history and philosophy.
    I am unable to work and have no insurance fr me and as you may be aware, here in America that is very big problem.
    So I cannot express how important this is to me, it's not a matter of just trying something for the experience of it.
    But a matter of life for me.
    Thank you and may you and your sifu have many wonderful and joyess days

    I just came from a different video that explained chi solely as, simply put, physical energy. It was very convincing and had some good approaches... but in the larger scale didn't match with my own, life-long understanding. The explanation offered here, by the Taoist master, suits me better. If we can absorb chi from the earth and from the heavens and put it into harmony with our own human chi, then there is more to it than 'physical energy'. Thank you for the video.

The last two weeks I have been practicing the routine our teacher gave us everyday, and the last couple of days i've been experiencing some corporal movements (like the ones I get when I'm practicing, like little contractions or balancing movements) when I'm not practicing, like when I'm on the shower or about to sleep, or about to eat, or even while focusing on work. Is it normal? is it like a phase? I'm not scared or worried I just would like to know if this passes or if there is any tips you would give me. Muchas gracias!!
