You've probably heard it before, but what does 'Qi Gong' actually mean?

Some people consider Qi Gong (also spelt Chi-Kung) a way of life. Others believe it is a specific meditative practice. 

As Master Gu explains in the video below, qi gong is actually both of these things at once. It has origins spanning thousands of years to the first Daoist wellness practitioners, and has come to refer to any activity centred around replenishing your energy (Qi) through tranquility. There are also Qi Gong "Forms" - specific sets of repeating movements focussed on promoting flexibility and harmony.

Watch the below video to learn more about this ancient tradition of breathwork and tranquility:

What is Taoism (or Daoism)?

Good question.

I want to share one of the very first episodes of Tea Time Taoism that Master Gu and I made, which explains what Daoism is, as well as how it can help all of us live a better, longer and more content life.

Hoping you enjoy the video, and if you're new to Daoism - welcome!

Welcome to the first WTWA Online blog post - the home of little tidbits of Daoist thought - and where better to start than the beginning?

"The Dao that can be named is not the eternal Dao..."

The Tao Te Ching was supposedly written by the sage Laozi around 500BC. Chapter 1 explores the nature of knowledge itself. Through its paradoxical passages, we are shown the limits of thought, and begin to appreciate the mystery around us.

Watch the below video and join me as we get deeper into Laozi's wisdom:
