I would let him be my roommate in a studio apartment without hesitation! I'd probably be begging him to live with me! And I'm an eclectic introvert, so this is meant as a great compliment😉.. His energy is epic grace!
First comment I ever make. So heart warming to see you finally made it George! What a journey it must have been, all across Eurasia, fighting the cold, bureaucracy and eventually reuniting with Master Gu. I wish both of you a lot of joy and health. I'll continue watching your inspiring journey as I've done the past years.
The relationship between the teacher and student is indeed a special one. The efforts taken by both you and Master Gu shows how much he values your presence and of course your dedication and perseverance in learning and sharing this wisdom from the mountains. Reminded me of the hikes in the Indian monsoons and rains near the hills and mountains near Mumbai where at the end of the hike you would reach an ancient fort and camp there. Wish you guys good health and good times. :)
My heart rose in my chest when I saw the mists in the mountains. The music and the drone shots were beyond exquisite. You brought my spirit along with you... so grateful for this shared journey...
Master Gu's singing can really brighten up one's day hahah. Even for us, your viewers it really feels like you made yourself a second home. Looking forward to your next video!
You know, I thought about you when the Corona crisis started way back in March. I stood in my little sewing room one day and I thought:"I wonder what happened to George and Master Gu." Today I have found the channel again and I am so pleased with all it`s contents. It came just in the right time for me. I am an Aikido practitioner since 2015. We haven`t had any training though since March. But 3 days ago we were allowed to practice with our Jo outside of the Dojo, on a field of grass, surrounded by many trees. It was very nice to do practice outside. You are right about nature and it`s effects on us humans. Oh, and something else. Today in this video I saw the Yin and Yang symbol in a different way. All of a sudden the symbols were to fishes, biting theitr tails. There is a symbol like that with snakes I know. Isn`t that curious. Huggs from Germany, Christina
Still on Lock-down here in the Philippines George...I must say that this video made me smile so much and feel great Joy about your return to Wudang...I have started a quarantine garden and my wife and children are helping..Peace and Love to all there from Mindanao Philippines
Looks like you've made it back to the home of your heart, George. This video and this part of your journey brings to mind the last few lines of Mark Nepo's poem, Breaking Surface. Let nothing dissuade you from seeing what you see or feeling the winds that make you want to dance alone or go where no one has yet to go. You are the only explorer. Your heart, the unreadable compass. Your soul, the shore of a promise too great to be ignored.
Master Gu is so special! I love his energy and how happy and wise he is. George you guys are great together. I truly love these videos you share with us. It makes my day! I learn so much from Master GU. Please please please keep making these videos they are so wonderful! Lots of love to you and Master GU and be safe!
I really love you and the sifu . I have so much respect for you both. Thank you for making the world healthier and kinder. When I wrecked my back over a year ago, you and a few other taichi qigong channels have been my salvation,that and my higher power . I am doing well and now with the international crisis you brothers and your work have again been so benificial.This is my sons account but I had to just chime in after months apoaching a year of enjoying your works. Respect maximum. Ras Amerlock+
So pleased and happy to see that you have made it up the mountain. Really enjoyed the video it was like a beautiful dream the landscape,nature and sounds incl Master Gu singing was amazing. I bet it is fantastic looking at the view first light with a cup of tea or indeed any time of day. Going to look up your new friend Elis podcast soon. Looking forward to our next video adventure .
Woohoo! You made it! Looking forward to all those spectacular Mountain View’s and Master Gu wisdom in the coming videos! I was smiling and laughing as he sang his way up the mountain!
So glad you are back in the Wudang Mountains with Master Gu! Looking forward to all the great things you and Master Gu are going to share with the world!
This is exactly what I dream of regularly. I only wish I had the courage do it on my own. 😔 Thank you for recording your journey here George, many of us are living vicariously through you!
What I love about taoism is that their. Knowledge comes from experience, not book learning. Following two for 45 years. Looking forward to your continuing journey. Always becoming,no final destination.
I was feeling a bit down and something told me to watch a video of your channel, it surprised me that you had uploaded a new video just today, watching you reunite with Master Gu and him doing magic so you could arrive to the mountains, the singing, the takes, it all filled my heart, thank you so much, I'm glad you're at one of your homes again.
First off, congratulations on your return to Wudang, George! That, no doubt, looks to indeed be your second home. Also, I absolutely adore your musical selections for your videos! They seem to express and bring out even more of the beauty of the Wudang Mountains and the fluidity of Tai Chi. Would you be willing to share where you are finding these pieces? Cheers from OK!
Wow that’s so trippy that you started traveling during all the craziness! Glad you were able to get back to Master Gu’s in the safety of the mountains🙏 Also the joy that exudes from Master Gu is so inspiring and makes me feel happy just to see him so happy 😁
So Wonderful & The Mountains, Wah! Master Gu is so happy to see you & bring you home & Eli "not sure if i spelled his name right" has a bright Aura, Shiny Happy People! 😊 I wont make it there in this life cycle so appreciate being taken there, through Your video's George. Peace
Hi George, I am happy to see, that you succeeded to come back to that wonderful place. I wish you a wonderful time there! Looking forward to your next videos!
Happy to see you finally made it up!! Great to see Master Gu all that happy and singing, hehehe. Wishing you a great time up there and lots of inspiration, George. Love and light from The Netherlands. Stay safe and healthy
Good to see you George n Master Gu. Master Gu seem to be in high spirits which is really cool to see. Hope you two stay safe n well. Much respect from Kent, England.
Great, you finally made it after an amazing adventure around half the world. Stunning scenery of Wudang mountains. Have a safe and inspiring experience at Master Gu's. Looking forward to your many videos.
George, I'm keeping a daily journal right now during the quarantine with things that strike me as important or inspiring. I just added this video to today's entry. Thanks you so much for being you. Love and respect from Maine, USA.
What an adventure! You will go down in history as a man who did the impossible :) Enjoy your time back at your second home, I look forward to the video series, Wudangshan 2!
I'm so glad to see you going back to Wu Dang for your content and your own spiritual growth, which feels that it is the anchor currently as a viewer. Also, luv that you were singing a few words of Bella Ciao after Master Gu, so fun and entertaining, keep up the good work.
George, I found your TH-cam channels a week ago. Watching your videos have inspired me to discover my inner peace and joy, and further more, to help me distract my anxiety from this difficult pandemic virus. After many year of not practicing Tai Chi, I started it again a few days ago. Absolutely love it and feel great! Thank you.
I've been waiting patiently for a new upload from you. I've been checking everyday for the last week! You have such a wonderful natural informative way of imparting information in an easy to understand format. We need more people with your people skills of inspiring us all to be better more conscious human beings. Thank you!
This is the first truly sincerely deeply joyous happy vlog I have seen in the past 4 months. Thank you George and thank you for all the lovely people who enabled you to travel from the U.K. all the way arrive to the Wudang School with an out of this world views.
So pleased that you finally made it back to Master Gu’s ! Am sure that all the previous barriers to your return will make it seem even more special now that you are there again. Looking forward to your videos over the coming months. Hope you all stay healthy and safe.
so happy to see this! awesome you are on the mouintain now! soon as I get my pay, will support you and master Gu on patreon! Love, Peace and Wellness to all of you in Wudang!
So stunning! And what a rare opportunity to be in the mountains during lockdowns. I’m sure it feels a lot more serene without many tourists? One day I hope to make it to Wudang. Have been a practitioner of Ziran Qigong with my teacher Master Liu Deming for 3 years now. Thanks again for the video, inspiring and brightened my day.
@George Thompson Awesome video!!!! When I see China and the people, I feel like it is my home! But I am in New Zealand, I practice my Tai Chi here under Sing Ong Tai Chi, Professor Yek Sing Ong and Grandmaster Chan Seng Chee under the Huang Sheng Shyan & Cheng Man Ching Yang Style Lineage, I just had my live stream class tonight as we are in lockdown still! Loved you guys having fun walking up that road on the hill to Wudang, a group from ours had just come back from a trip to Wudang Mountain not long ago! :-) have fun! Take care! Look after yourselves! Xie Xie, Ching li!!
Hello, this is such a professional film. You have a natural talent for broadcasting and your voice is very relaxing to listen to. I also liked your films on mindfulness and Taoism. I wish that you'd pitch these to the BBC, ch4 etc. I think it would be such a great thing to promote this subject especially in these times. You deserve all the success in the world. These films are exquisite.
I have been practicing yoga, kriya and mediation from the Hindu/Yogic traditions for a while and recently came across translations of old daoist works that have, unsurprisingly, similar concepts when it comes to energy centers in the body and their manipulation. What does master Gu think of the ancient Indian traditions, given the shared history between the two countries over centuries?
Master Gu's energy is so wonderful
Totally...he is so happy and carefree 😍
I would let him be my roommate in a studio apartment without hesitation! I'd probably be begging him to live with me! And I'm an eclectic introvert, so this is meant as a great compliment😉.. His energy is epic grace!
Was about to write the same, word for word.
agreed
OMG this is the perfect version of Bella Ciao I‘ve ever heard.
First comment I ever make. So heart warming to see you finally made it George! What a journey it must have been, all across Eurasia, fighting the cold, bureaucracy and eventually reuniting with Master Gu. I wish both of you a lot of joy and health. I'll continue watching your inspiring journey as I've done the past years.
💗☯️
It is good to see you together again with Master Gu. Every step you take is 1000 steps for us. Keep on doing what you’re doing
Go George!!!
The relationship between the teacher and student is indeed a special one.

George Thompson hi big fan i am a beginner in Kung fu

Looks like you've made it back to the home of your heart, George. This video and this part of your journey brings to mind the last few lines of Mark Nepo's poem, Breaking Surface.
Let nothing dissuade you

You are the only explorer.
Your heart, the unreadable compass.
Your soul, the shore of a promise
too great to be ignored.
That was lovely... thank you for sharing!
beautiful!
So grateful to be a part of this. Thank you 🙏

Was Master Gu singing Bella Ciao in chinese?
I thought that!
had to check but yes! th-cam.com/video/spCdFMnQ1Fk/w-d-xo.html
Yes! probably THE most popular Italian song in China :)
No hold on a second so is it original Bella Ciao or it's like Fra Martino? 😂
th-cam.com/video/qpLJ27__0vA/w-d-xo.html
Is what he was singing. It's the Chinese version
@George Thompson Awesome video!!!! When I see China and the people, I feel like it is my home!

SUPERB Cinematography - and - a great story - Cheers Buddy - FANTASTIC
Very happy to see you George have finally stepped your feet into the energetic and beautiful Wudang Daoist Wellness Academy 😌☯️

I have been practicing yoga, kriya and mediation from the Hindu/Yogic traditions for a while and recently came across translations of old daoist works that have, unsurprisingly, similar concepts when it comes to energy centers in the body and their manipulation.

Great to see the joy you have on the mountain considering some adversity !
Wudang looks amazing. Nice job!
yoyo, Great Vid
Wonderful! I will keep watching your progress on the yin yang path!! You and Master Gu are adorable!
Beautiful!
