Thanks so much for watching! ☯🫁☯ If you want to tap into the power of the breath with me, I invite you to join my 6 week Breathing course. I aim to equip you with the ideas and practices to make your breath a powerful tool that helps you live life to the fullest! 👉 www.wayfinder.academy/breathe-course
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*
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.
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. Laoshr #60 Ching Yi Kung Fu Association
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 isn't your average RU-vidr, he's a friend, he creates that space of us together, not me showing you... Thank you George 🙌 Happy new year everyone 🥳
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.
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!
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 😊
Your channel has been one of the best tools I’ve found for my journey into Taoism, mindfulness, and bettering my life. I’m a sexual health therapist in the USA and I use these practices with clients. You’re channel helps me deepen my own practice. You’re entertaining, your audio is amazing and the content is inspiring. Thank you for taking time to share what you’ve learned. It’s changing my life for the better. I’ll be using more of these breathing techniques for myself and with my clients.
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. :)
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!
Hello George it's amazing to see your evolution, the way you started looking for answers and the way now you are sharing your experience. Please continue exploring and diffuse your experience because humanity needs it. This time is a strange time we need to reinforce our inner strength. Thank for the your goodness.
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.
I have been practicing this technique as well as shaolin kung fu over the last 5 years. I find myself breathing 3 times over the course of a minute naturally, without being mindful.
Thank you for very comprehensive video on breathing George. I'm inspired by it and I will be using some of the ways in which you teach in my own teaching. Gratitude.
We had a Chinese man teach us tai chi and qi during my massage schooling… it was ten years ago now, i don’t remember anything.this was great to stumble upon!
I fell asleep and woke up listening to this. I wasn’t a subscriber before or had heard of you George but obviously I was lead here and I’m glad! Amazing knowledge
Wow this was so amazing to experience and be a part of. Thank you so much for taking the time and energy for putting this together and for the additional resources.
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.
Thank you for this very engaging video. So informative. I'm so pleased to hear about nose breathing. I really struggle with meditations ,due to the exhale though the mouth. It feels more natural to just breath in and out my nose 👃. Finally feels like I've got something right ✅ 😌 🙌. Bless you 🙏🏻
Thank you George wonderful video I combine martial arts Hatha Yoga qi gong walking in nature Sometimes I’ll do qi gong to live music as I walk off the bluff into the small city. I teach us well as a way of giving back from time to time. Once again thank you for your video deeply enjoyed it
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.
This is just what I needed today . and for sometime to come . I just wanted to say thank you very much. it looks nice and quiet where you filmed this . all the best to you in the New Year.
