I really appreciate this channel because, unlike a lot of new age creators, you give direct credit to the ancient lineages that actually brought us these teachings 🙏🏼 *These practices are not new, they are just new to the west*

[@pablocruzgilmour]

Exactly what I wanted to say :)

[@jiggersotoole7823]

Well said

[@wolfura]

The Norse and Gaelic used breathing as well. The West has had these for thousands of years too. Norse with Galdr, Gaelic used rosc poems and singing. Shamanism in the West is the same as in the East. Same principles.

[@durellpowell3324]

They are not new to the west either

[@lyn9415]

They are not even new to the west, the information is suppressed from the west by the west.

Thank you George. 1) Natural breathing. 2) Baby breathing. 3) Reverse breathing. a) Water channel b) Fire channel c) Wind channel 1) Small Circulation 2) Grand Circulation The nose filters out the air, and contains endocrine glands that release nitric oxide, a vasodilator. Doing the belly breathing the diaphramatic wall massages the hollow organs. Removing waste and bringing oxygen enriched blood through the organs. All the best.

thanks!

[@gabrielgouveia363]

Thanks very useful!

[@alahmad3852]

any advise for Asthmatics?

[@cameronmac338]

These techniques should be taught in all schools and should be compulsory to have short breathing/mindfulness sessions throughout the working day, to help the children's learning and mental state. I think it would desolve ego and help kids connect better and have more compassion for eachother.

[@George-Thompson]

That would be transformative for sure!!

[@lyudmilamaduell6449]

Yes, instead of CRT, LGT education

[@ayaahmed9537]

George isn't your average KZbinr, he's a friend, he creates that space of us together, not me showing you... Thank you George 🙌 Happy new year everyone 🥳

[@kindcounselor]

Currently studying with Lee Holden in his Breathwork intensive. Your description was very clear....and George, your intention of clear teaching was truly communicated well. I love your videos and I feel they always take me to the next level.. thank you.

[@hailemariammengesha3139]

Thank you george you are providing useful eastern philosophy to the other part of the world!

[@mochilds6146]

Thank you so much for this ,breath is so often forgotten. Great quotes too. So important to remember to use the belly and allow the breath to expand all of the rib cage , and use all the intercostal muscles, also the lungs go right up to just under the collar bone. So important for us all but particularly those with lung challenges. Nose breathing So important too. Great research and resource for us all . Many thanks 😊

[@rosebw1077]

You’re a beautiful soul thank you so much

I was in England some years ago, in march. I spent three days wandering the forest, sleeping in a hammock. The nights were really cold, and my sleepingbag was not warm enough. Each night I would wake up to do Wim Hof breathing. On the first night I had tied my hammock wrongly, so the rain were soaking me. I woke up being wet and cold, and the only thing I could really do was breathe. That was some powerful breathing that sent me straight from being awake into a dream. I woke up through the night and did the breathing. And then as I woke up in the morning, I was dry, my sleepingbag was dry, my hammock was dry. And it wasn't warm outside. That was really cool!

[@joosthoeven992]

Hi George, I just want to express my gratitude for all the beautiful and hard work you put into these video lessons. You explain things so well in a clear and understandable way. I’m pretty new to Taoism but your videos help me a lot in understanding and exploring this ancient wisdom. And I can say, it is really changing my life for the better. Also love your ‘move and meditate with George’ sessions as I had an interest in starting a Qigong practice but didn’t know where to start. The five animal Qigong you are teaching at the moment is a good entry point for me which I enjoy very much. Thanks and best wishes to you from Holland!

[@George-Thompson]

Hi Joost, I'm really glad you are enjoying and getting something from the videos - it's my privilege! Sending warmth ☯️🌿❤️

I can't empathise enough the importance of breathing through the nose. It has changed my life dramatically. This should be taught to all children in schools. Great vid George. :)

Thank you very much! *The Way of Knowledge is being given through secret and mysterious means to individuals everywhere, in all races, cultures and worlds.* This represents the work of the Divine. Beyond the tribal interpretations of any young race in any world, this represents *pure Knowledge and pure spirituality.* It is unalloyed with the traditions of any world to which it is sent. Thus, it represents a real challenge in learning and a great opportunity for true understanding and greater ability. From: *Greater Community Spirituality* Chapter 11: *What is your preparation for?* by *Marshall Vian Summers*

What can’t we go without the longest? The breathe. So damn str8 it’s sacred af I can’t begin to convey how much breathe work exercises saved me from certain diseases. Was it easy no did I like it no but I sat down an breathed three times a day an let the body do what the body does after stacking air an holding onto the veil. An the body fixed everything. With air. Peace cheers an I love the exercises now! That I see it saved my life but elevated my mind body spirit complex to a new level of joy an bliss.

[@livingalchemists1180]

[@kiliankiel3844]

Dear George, thank you for sharing your insights. I have experimented with the 4,7,8 - breathing method and found out that I feel a huge difference between the sitting position and the lying position. When I sit 4,7,8 seems to be fine. Whilst lying my natural breath length seems to have increased that much that I multiply it by three. 12, 21, 28. - or even four: 16, 28, 32; I wander if other students or teachers have the same experience.

[@sathi123]

Superb. Very interesting exercises. 🙏🏽

[@hanjack2245]

Thanks a lot for George's videos letting more and more people learn Daoism, one of the profound chinese wisdom. As a chinese, I know little about Daoism（although it is already has impact on daily life）, but now I learn from your videos. Thanks again.
