[@nromeeda]

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

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!!

" 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 !!!! kzbin.info/www/bejne/mWq5gqyba7VroZI.....kzbin.info/www/bejne/hGOmdmmVg61mnNE....

When I started trying to Cultivate Qi...like lighting a fire in the Rain. Then...one day...I was in the shower...I looked at my hands. Houston...we have lift off. My Xi could tell even before I said anything. As I walked up to class....he said...You got it don't you. 📿🙏📿🙏📿🙏📿🙏📿🙏📿As you said...Tapping into Internal Qi...and Universal Qi.

MMA FIGHTER - LIVES 60 (WITH INJURIES AND OTHER HEALTH PROBLEMS) TAI CHI MASTER - LIVES OVER 100 , WITHOUT ANY HEALTH PROBLEM

[@Axiomatic75]

To be fair though, unlike an MMA fighter, the Tai Chi master doesn't get the shit kicked out of him.

[@ArtOfHealth]

@@Axiomatic75 Agreed. It is like the vegan plant eater that has no strength to do heavy work and has to resort to calling a meat eater to really get the work done. I was glad you caught that.

[@zoximrai2207]

That’s my issue, be sure to rest and let your body heal, it’s very easy to over train your body

[@ArtOfHealth]

@@zoximrai2207 I agree. The pump in most exercise can be very addictive to a point where people cannot see the body crying out for a healing rest..

[@roflswamp6]

Not at all the mma fighter actually fights and puts his body through things that make tai chi look easy

[@ameame32]

I really love it when I see Master Gu's taichi coz he flows like a river and its so damn beautiful...

[@sjsdkim]

Thank you for the video & for having Master Gu explain it.

I'd love to travel there to learn and practice and have the pleasure of living with harmony 💞🙏

It's a shame the original methods were lost during Christianization, but fortunately we can learn from the Taoist masters

[@ordeppaco]

Lost? You just dont know where to look

[@agustinguevara8054]

It was never lost, this treasure is not for everybody, goes from mouth to ear for the fortunate ones.

[@TM-rh7zs]

Wait... I was wanting to train in Qi Gong soon, how are the original methods lost? Can somebody explain?.

[@victorrubahimbya1124]

And what has Christianity given us .....poems

[@TM-rh7zs]

@@victorrubahimbya1124 That's not true... It gave us a decline in human advancement due to denial of science, the KKK and stories about talking snakes.

Thank you for sharing all of this with us!! Greeting From Brasil

[@Shrn57]

Thank you for this beautiful explanation of Qi. I’m new to this practice and I’m committed to continuing with it.

Though it said “what is qui gon jin”

[@guyincognito5706]

TelluricDeepDown That’s probably where George Lucas got it. He has always been big on Eastern philosophy and mysticism

[@ValirAmaril]

pre midichlorian Jedi are basically internal gongfu/qi gong. good example, the scenes when Luke is training with Yoda.

[@artemis4645]

Yes, I know ''Qi Gong'' reminded you of someone, so now you're thinking about good old Qui-Gon Jinn. So do I.

Beautiful! Thank you. Hello from Nova Scotia!
