- There are many forms of Qi Gong, in this video we explore the fundamental principles, accessible for beginners. Join me and let's raise our energy through playful, mindful movement...
Qi Gong is an ancient Chinese practice that aims to cultivate and balance energy in the body. It involves slow, gentle movements, breathing exercises, and meditation. Qi Gong can be beneficial for people of all ages and fitness levels and can help alleviate stress, anxiety, and depression. It is also believed to improve circulation, boost the immune system, and promote overall health and well-being.
This short guided demonstration is a great way to start practising Qi Gong, with key principles and easy-to-learn exercises that can be done in as little as 10 minutes - the perfect way to start a healing and rewarding daily practice.

What a beautiful practice, George. You are a natural teacher as well as film maker. This is a gorgeous piece of work. Thank you for sharing this with us.
Thank you for your kind words! We are glad that you enjoyed it too! 😊
A hug and positive energy from Brazil!☯
Thanks George I discovered you and your channel and your wonderful Master Gu yesterday and so happy I did. I’m reconnecting with my love of tai chi and meditation while learning about Taoism. I previously practised wing chun for several years and it’s really interesting how some of these Qigong movements are so familiar to me from wing chun forms. Thank you for sharing this and everything else on your channel 💛🙏🏻
The best!
Thank you for watching!
Thank you George! More of this please.
You're welcome and thank you for the feedback! We'll take note 🙏
Yes please ❤

many thanks
Thank you for your support! 🙏
Love this!
Thank you for watching!
I repicked up qi gong a few days ago after doing it on and off for years, mostly off. 😤
This time I’m much more regular/consistent with it. 💪
Keep up the good work and remember to be patient with yourself as you continue to progress. 🙏
I love following your practices, they always bring such a full mind and body sense of peace, really appreciate the work you have put in to them and the journey you have been on in order to offer these practices. Thank you ❤
Thank you for your support and I wish you continued peace and wellbeing on your own path. 🙏
That's amazing ... I remember learning most of these moves years ago when I just was starting studing & practising KungFu ... We used them several times during the trainings to raise & regain the energy ... but back then I'd never thought QiGong (or Dao Yoga) could be used apart from Martial Arts :)
It's always exciting to discover new ways to incorporate practices into our daily lives and explore the potential benefits. Keep up the great work in your practice!
George, thank you for the simplicity and playfulness yet beneficial video. Well done as always.
It’s my privilege. I’m so glad you enjoyed 🙏

Three things.
That was a great practice. I will for sure watch this and your other videos.
I never heard so much cracking of my body as I did this. Within my range but I was very stiff.
And as my son did it beside me looked up at me and said. "That was really nice. Good job!"
Thank you.
Thank you George for such a wonderful, calming yet invigorating practice. The scenery adds another dimension to it as well. Love all that you do, and your teaching style is so beautiful as well. Greatly appreciated....

What does it mean if you cry during the hug part? Felt like a very powerful energy shift is this normal when starting Qigong?
isn't that taichi bow different for men and women?
There is no correct way. Make it your own. ☯️🙏
not how Master Gu taught ☯
Sir I'm new from India . How can I start
Welcome! The secret is to just start and you can do that with this video 😊 Good luck on your practice 🙏
Sir but I'm not able to controll on my mind ...sir it seems I'm unable to controll my feeling .how can I sir.even i know my infinite possibilities and potentially...
I'm superpower of the universe...but how can I controll my curiosity
If the goal of the Taoist Alchemists was to become immortal and stop the ageing process if we don't achieve this are we failed Taoists. The ego part of me wants to say no you can not achieve these goals and still be successful but then the other part of me says come off of it how can you consider yourself successful if you did not achieve the goal
What a bunch of baloney. Waste of time, just simply read the Bible and you will feel true peace. This is utter nonesense.
