When my wife was one month pregnant with my son, we went to the doctors office and got a scan of him. I could not believe what I saw! He looked like a tiny peanut with a pulse! You could actually see his pulse on the scan! It was the most exciting and awe inspiring moment of my life. When you said a new life begins with the heart, I literally witnessed this with my son. I have a very strange feeling that I have been looking for your academy for most of my life and just did not know it. Thank you very much Master Gu!

awesome Master Gu! Fascinating stuff.

Translation note for English speakers: Jing is also literally, and usually, translated as Essence. By referring only to semen and not ovum (female egg), a supreme and harmonious joining of Yin and Yang leaves out Yin entirely when translating 精 as semen. Ancestral Jing refers to parents more than semen. Thank you, Master Gu.

Really appreciate your effort bringing this forth. I really love this kind of metaphors, much helpful. Thanks alot =D wish you all the best !

Very enlightening video Master Gu. I enjoyed listening and well watch again often 😌☯️

I thought of making a sculpture to represent the movement of the breath. It was a sheet of water falling into a bed of rock, and behind the water fall a visible fire.

Very well done instruction and translation. Jing, Qi, Shen | Matter, Produces Change(Energy), That powers the Spirit.

Master Gu is an amazing teacher, I wish I was his student.

I love all the household sounds in the background as Master Gu lays down the knowledge. Before enlightenment, chop wood carry water... :)

Thank you Master Gu. We looked at this picture at my tai chi club. Your explanation added some interesting points. I really like how it connects to Chinese medicine.

When the student is ready the teacher shall appear... he has appeared ... with all my being, thank you 🙏🏼❤️🙏🏼

Thank you very much Master Gu, look forward to your upcoming explanations !

Master Gu.. thank you for making this video..It was Awesome to see the Taoist microcosmic orbit Qi cultivation symbolized in this painting.. You may be surprised at how many westerners cultivate in a Taoist fashion. I've been practicing this method for some time, and over the last 10 years as a Reiki master I have been utilizing that "Heaven Qi' into the circulation as well.

This is a study worthy of many lifetimes. I tried to follow it as much as possible. There is so much. I saw this video some time ago, but it touched me different the second time I watched it. Thank you Master Gu!!...

Thank you for sharing, Master Gu! Love from New Jersey ☯️

When I was young, me and my friends would intentionally prank each other and talk meanly to each other in a friendly way. Now that I am older, I see that we were practicing Taoism and were teaching each other to become like water and allow insults to roll off of our backs. Nobody taught us to do that, it came naturally. Many of pitfalls in the modern world come from ignoring our natural behavior. The lies that society is built on do not need to be your limitations.

Thank you for sharing. I would like to hear more about this breathing method

Thank you Master Gu! Your knowledge and wisdom is always appreciated.

This is right on and it's a story that is told in very many places. I believe the Great Pyramid tells the same story and it is the story of Life. Thank you very much for presenting the story today. Namaste

Thanks for sharing

If others are interested in a translation of all of the chinese characters in this picture, I found this: www.scribd.com/document/247342233/Nei-Jing-Tu

I have that picture in a book it's obviously a body organs from the side view

Greetings Sifu. Im excited to find this. Life is change and i really need to change which im in the process of doing. I have to visit China and your training centre. Many thanks 🙏

Thank you for the teachings, Master Gu. I look forward to more learning. 🍁

The teacher is always ready.. when the student appears

Thanks you, Master Gu is a knowledgeable and sincere teacher who is doing a wonderful job sharing these insights into Taoism!☯️☀️☯️☀️☯️

I look forward to hearing more! Thank you for your wisdom Master Gu.

So if I understand correctly, the two main channels or meridians would be first the sacrum, spine, spinal fluid and nerves associated with the spine and the head as the main channel or meridian for heat or chi to travel upward, and the sacrum, C7, and base of the skull are pumps so to say for the chi to rise into the skull. And the second channel is activated by touching the tongue to the roof of the mouth to connect the two channels, now the water channel or front meridian starts with the saliva and you chew the saliva to activate it, then swallow the saliva and follow it with your mind down the throat and down the front meridian through all the organs until you get to the base of the spine again, and that is where you would use this cool water energy from the front meridian to cool the heat in the spine, thus completing the micro cosmic orbit. I know there is a lot more to it but the way I see it is the basic two meridians IMO are the spine, back(heat) and organs, front(water).

So much information, will take several viewings to start to understand. Thanks for posting.

Thank you Master GU. I truly appreciate you and your knowledge and insights of Taoist wisdom 🙏 😊

Master Gu thank you very much. But i'm not fan of the background noise. Theory + english are already quite dificult for me. But fei shang gan xie.

Thank you for this excellent teaching!

I look forward to more lessons like this. Thank you!

This was the most wonderful Explanation Master Gu! Thank you 🙏🏾

We need Spanish Subtitles please!!!!.... RU-vid traductor change words and other concepts...

Thank you very much greetings from France

What kind of shirt are you wearing? How is it called....Does anyone know? (I think maybe I'll be just as wise just by wearing similar clothes :-)

Thank you, Master. Deep gratitude!

I love Master Gu! He reminds me quite a bit of my lama here in New York City; so much kindness and openess.

This is very useful and enriching. I am so grateful that you are sharing your knowledge with us on RU-vid. I have become familiar with some of these ideas through Mantak Chia and many of his methods work very well for me. But I am curious about whether or not his methods are considered true to Taoism or if it is his own innovation or "branch" of Taoism that he is creating. Perhaps it does not matter, just as long as it is useful.

Thank you for your instruction Master Gu. I would like to learn more. 🙏🏻

Thank you Master Gu. Your clear demonstration enlivens the diagram and explains more fully the book texts I have.

Thank you I’ve been looking for this for months ☮️

🙏🏻😇🙏🏾 👊🏾😎👍🏼

Your work makes me feel happy. Thank you.

awesome video, please upload more of internal alchemy content, its so huge topic and so interesting

The dishes in the back ground are very distracting. Like his father chopping some wood in the vid 🤔

Is the breathing for women revers? Up front, back down?

Thank you so much, Sifu! This is a fascinating subject. I will soon be 70 years old, and I have lost much of my faith in Western medicine. I find myself turning more and more to the ancient wisdoms for relief and a more healthy lifestyle. Although I consider myself a Zen Buddhist, I am drawn more and more to the teachings of Taoism. I like the fact that it provides not only spiritual guidance, but also very practical physical advice and exercises for health and wellbeing.

Any book recommendarion for further details?

Wonderful, thank you very much for the interesting explanation!❤️

Thank you so much, Master Gu. I learn so much from your videos!✨💛✨

Thank you Master Gu. Question how does the microcosmic breathing differ from the Embryotic breathing? should one of these practice take precedence over the other? Does this chart bring in all five elements ?

WoW quite fascinating stuff, yes, love this lecture, very poetically illustrated...Thank you Master Gu!

Does anyone else has read Mantak Chia's Taoist secrets of love: cultivating sexual male/female energy? It's quite interesting!

Excellent introduction, Master!

Very annoying background chatter!

Amazing

I read the Tao Te Ching and saw truth in every sentence. Then I read parts of the Zhuangzi and found unspeakable wisdom. Still I do not see the connection between those texts and this talk.

press ones tongue to roof of mouth to connect the governing and conception vessels :)

Thanks. Do you worship the queen of the west?

Thanks for sharing! Have an awesome day!

is there a place where I can look at a more detailed version on that picture?

Xie xie !!! Master Gu, really like your Daoist insight!!! please do more videos!!!

In Buddhism one has head, throat and heart as upper gates.

I wish there were recommended positions.

Microcosmic Orbit..................xxx xie xie

I love this! Team GOD!

How can I find this painting?

Was not expecting Microcosmic Orbit! Good stuff! Just gotta say that it's not only your buttocks, but your perineum too... It's like a pump for your cerebrospinal fluid which does some very interesting things, especially in the electromagnetic spectra. I love Qi!

Your doing fine kiddo.

Good vid, thanks, but a noise in the background is disturbing

Hello and many thanks. Does this picture have a name? Is it posted online?

Thank you Master Gu. Your efforts and wisdom are very much appreciated.

Did I hear correctly? Jing (essence), qi (energy) & shen (spirit)? TCM directly relates to this 😌

Videos like this REALLY need an articulate English speaking philosopher to help with the translations of concepts. It's not enough to just translate chinesen to english, which is difficult enough, but you have to make sure nothing is lost along the way, which is where having a well educated philosopher comes in. If you don't have that SCRIPT and proof read script, you're going to end up with exactly what this video shows. Just how impossible it is to understand complex abstractions if they aren't being communicated efficiently. Have an expert chinese to english translator present, go over a script, and have that script revised by an english native of eastern philosophy. other wise you have a video that's difficult to watch and even more difficult to understand. Too much "uh" and pauses don't communicate "master" too well. No offense. If the audience is English, TARGET it. When a tiger hunts, he does so with clarity not with its eyes closed.

Master Gu 🙏 This is someone from Bangladesh who would love to learn your art face-to-face and serve you. But there is no financial backup on this end. Please help so the art can be comprehended by this nobody. 🙏⚡🙏

Love the new logo Master Gu 😌☯️

Thanks master goo

could anyone please provide the pinyin or characters here for the title of the painting? :) THANKS

homeboy is really doing those dishes

Thank you Master Gu, for sharing your knowledge.

Thank you for these precious teachings. Could you also do the subtitles in Spanish? It would make the teachings easier for me. thanks and health

Hi Master Gu, could you please share your views on Jing/semen retention and if it’s necessary when practicing Chi Kung/TaiChiQuan, this would be very much appreciated thank you.

I Fucking love this guy! You stay happy healthy and fluid My friends

Brilliant, thank you. Where can i Find a Good copy of the nei jing tu? Do I need to book a flight to China?

I do breathing exercises irregularly for more than an year, in some periods I do regularly, but I have not come to feel my lower dantian nor my energy yet and I'm feeling frustrated, I'd like to know how much time you took to start feeling those?

ok how do we do it though?

Thanks just what I needed to hear it all makes so much sense to me the bigger the fire the more wood can be put on to make bigger but it's inportant to control the fire to heat the right size room that's were and what I'm feeling to stay confored in my body you have and are helping me your transition was very clear to me and you didn't get distracted with the noise next to you VERY IMPRESSED. 😊🙏♋

Thank you for sharing Master Gu, if one wants to study and live by tao how can one go about if having family (wife and kids?) Many thanks!

Thank you for such a great kindness to make this for us❤ even in the middle of dinner prep haha. I had a recent dream of a master. You have a similarity to him and I’ve never seen you talk before so it must of been premonition. It happens often. He told me to connect the heart mind channel. Helping me with acupressure to do that. and then he gave me lotus seed tea. He also told me to find some watermelon tourmaline to complete the spiritual part of the remedy.

Great master. The explanation of the picture can be better master gu. Blue eyed monk sitting on the head is a South indian. 🙏🙏🙏

Jīng qì shén (精氣神) can be translated to "essence, energy, spirit." Knowing this helped me better understand when I first learned about The Three Treasures of Daoism. Take note I've taken university courses on Daoism and am familiar with its teachings on a basic level, but felt this could be helpful for others just beginning their journey. I am only a beginner myself spiritually. :)

I like your videos dude 😎

Master Gu, thank you for your “rough introduction” of internal realization. Because of George, i found your wellness academy channel. What a brilliant collection of thoughts and philosophy, expressions, and actualization. Your background, your initial role in life, has served you very well! Your language skills are obviously quite polished, but your tone, your pattern, serve to lull the listener into a deeper, slower consideration of your material creating a very mystical sense of your topics: just absolutely impressive, and insightful. Thank you, kind soul! If but a few minutes away from the hectic rigors of life!

Thank you sifu...

Dao De Jing

i read taoistic book of secret of the golden flower. but appart from that i do not have had oportunity to hear or read nothing from profound wisdom of taoism. tao te ting of course but not when it comes to body and spirit and taoist way of grasping this subject. video is great.

Hello master Gu, such an amazing content you deliver here, may i know the name of the breathing exercise that you mention? And about inhalation and exhalation, micro cosmos breathing, (9.13) where is our focus when we want to make our breathing "go up"? I am sorry for my dumb question.. Thankyou master Gu..
