    Just listened to this entire video yesterday on May 6th, 2022 for the first time in the morning. Later my dog, Kobalt, and I made the rounds around town and ended up at Mary's River Park in Philomath, Oregon. We walked to the river which was running high but calm & steady in the afternoon after much rain. Clouds had cleared and blue skies returned for awhile in time for us to see a beautiful, natural river glittering, glistening & sparkling in the bright sunlight as it came around the bend and flowed straight towards us up on the bank until it turned right in front of us to the North. We found the river you described in this video. It's real. I stood there with my inner child, Helena, for a long time feeling such peace, love, gratitude & amazement. We headed home after walking around the rest of the park only 5 miles from our home. Weather changed dramatically as we headed to the highway. Dark clouds returned as torrential rain poured down for remainder of the day. The universe had conspired to show Helena and me our Wu Wei River. Our sweet spot. We were one and the same in those minutes. It was mystical, magical & stunningly beautiful beyond words - -Thank you.

    This video hit close to home. I was “made redundant” and my job was eliminated. That was three years ago and I am still trying to make sense and come to grips with it. That experience and my fruitless job search since then have given my exceptionally loud and exceptionally stubborn inner child even more ammunition. I’ve been spinning around in an eddy for three years (and I bet it’s much longer than that, I just hadn’t realized it)! I’m glad I found your channel - I have a lot of work to do!

    I dont think the nature of your inner child is to feel unsafe or have fear. I feel the true nature of any child is free from social constructs, fear and judgement. And pure in nature and inquisitive. I do agree that a lot of people's inner child is damaged and fragemented due to childhood trauma. And if you sense that you are coming from a place where your inner child feels damaged and fragmented your first responsibility is to do the inner work to heal the inner child. In order to experience a higher more sustainable level of freedom in your external world. Don't be so preoccupied with the external. That you neglect the internal. Your external will only reflect your internal and send you your way vibrational match. Not to say you then wont experience obstacles. You always will but their not bad. Their invitations to learn and grow. And when you step into your new awareness your old will no longer be because that energy has evolved like a caterpillar to a butterfly

    I've studied all the sciences, every philosophy from existentialism to nihilism to stoicism, all the major spiritual traditions and modern psychology and I've never encountered a more profound teaching than Taoism (Wu Wei). Its logical, simple and yet very profound and insightful; it applies to all mental, physical and metaphysical modalities and most importantly, it works. Thanks for the video, I agree 100%. Suffering originates with conflict and chaos and Wu Wei teaches how to transcend that inner conflict and manage your energy optimally,. I'm not there yet but I'm on the right path and it feels good. Good luck to you all.

    I think you are slightly missing the concept of Wu Wei. Wu Wei is like water because water takes the path of least resistance. You have the choice of harmoniously flowing around an object (as a stream) or gently wearing it away, like an ocean wave. Either path is acceptable. Wu wei is about removing your ego from the equation. You are no longer looking at how you can gain from a situation or how it can harm you. You just have the presence of mind to handle the situation without over-reacting either way. People who practice Wu Wei do not fear, for there is nothing to fear. They do not want, because they already have everything they need. It is OK to make mistakes, and to laugh at your mistakes, because Wu Wei is the way or path of the Tao. Those that practice Wu Wei walk the line between the light and dark sides of the ☯ and sometimes we lean a little bit to the dark or light as we maintain our balance, like a tightrope walker, but on the ground, without the fear of falling. Telling yourself you are great all the time is NOT Wu Wei, positive feelings are not Wu Wei. Wu Wei does not have a polarity. It is living life in such a manner that all situations you experience resolve themselves effortlessly with minimal action and being your most authentic self.

The beauty of Taoism is that it IS very simple... and the wisdom, clarity, strength and resourcefulness IS within you, so it's just about learning to access those authentic qualities by clearing away the blocks the Human Centred Mind (Ego) puts in place and not allowing the HCM to take over during challenging or unfamiliar times :-) Are you a member of our Facebook Community?

She is expressing her emotions, but I am using this time to be more mindful of her words, mindful of my actions/inactions. ;-; while I know I can’t fix it overnight, I tend to obsess over criticism & want to fix it right away. 😣😯. I know she’s just expressing her feelings, she doesn’t think less of me. But I know actions speak louder than words. 🤗

    I've decided long time ago not to listen to my inner knowing ( Shen ) instead always dealt with things with logic and that was because of childhood experiences. I always blamed that part of me for the things i was not happy about and that didn't help at all it made me so alone living in fear for so long. Doing the inner child meditation and the golden thread helped become alive able to face my thoughts and beliefs not run form them and made relaxed accepting myself the way i am. Another wonderful video thank you million times for sharing that knowledge xx :)

    This deserves more recognition as it explains it very clear straight to the point, unlike those other knuckle heads channel who dont know what they are talking about, although I have some minor clarifications does wu-wei mean,I should go with the flow of life? an example is if am tired and has to finish something, rather than forcing to finish the task, I should rest and not force it instead then do ot after rest? is that what FLOW mean too?

    For me Wu-Wei is like the flowing proceses of the TAO'S natural harmonic flow of dishes if a dish is dirty on the table the TAO's Wu-Wei moves it through me to the sink, if the dish is dirty in the sink, the TAO's Wu-Wei cleans it and place it in the drying proccess and then in the storage of clean dishes ready to be used again, I do not need to be, my mind does not need to create or do anything by itself, the TAO's Wu-Wei does it, I might be there or I might not or nor or both, it does not matter, there all flows when the TAO's Wu-Wei does it through me. ✌🏼💓☯️😸

    Love the energy behind the video ! I do stumble around one question though. If the reality of the world is dual and we need to accept that. Aren't the negative emotions (Opposite of green lights) just part of the duality which we have to accept? If we focus on keeping green light emotions and escape their polar opposites, aren't we going against the same concept of acceptance we are trying to reach ?

    Hi Patrick, We are pleased that you enjoyed the video and thanks for the question it raised. If I'm reading your question correctly I think there is a misunderstanding. Yin Yang are two characteristics of the same reality. So, there are Red and Green Light Feelings and both are part of the whole. But, we should NOT be 'stuck' in the extremes of Red or Green Light Feelings. As I said in the video the secret is Wu Wei finding the flow, balance and harmony of the energy. Wu Wei means effortless effort, your ‘sweet spot’ 😊 Hope that helps your meditations on this subject.

    I was hoping for some practical exercises as promised at the start of the video. In fact you stated that we should watch until the end for practical exercises and yet they failed to materialise. Are you going to do a video with practical exercises or can anyone point me in the direction of said exercises? Meditation seems to be the only true practical exercise that I can find and if that’s the path to Wu Wei then that is the path.

Because of the children I didn't want to force but now my patience is done. I have to take action to finally get my belongings and money back so I can go on with my life. What says Wu Wei about this ? Thanks

    You don’t need money or belongings to get on with your life. Leaving behind your money or belongings will help your to get on with your life. If you think that your ex-wife has won using this approach and you don’t want her to win. Then consider what she has won - she has won money and belongings and you have won freedom from them. With this in mind I would say that your exwife has not won.

    Hello again! Shortly after watching this video I attended my regular study of the Sermon on the Mount. We were on page 92 & 93. I found that the message there reflected some of your teachings in this video. For example Jesus spoke of the “secret place “ and Wu Wei talks about everything being an “inside job”. In fact, Im finding similar values in several arenas - not surprisingly so - considering the spiritual nature of my studies. But I’m curious. Is Wu Wei a religion? Is Taoism a religion? I know David is a monk and or priest but I never hear any mention of a GOD. Do you consider the flow a God? Do you consider that nature represents God? Or is there no God in either WuWei or Toaism? And if not then what are you a priest of? Is there NEVER any reliance on a power greater than yourself or is that power ALWAYS the flow within? Just struggling to understand . I always enjoy your videos #DavidLees and #AlexandraLees. Thank you in advance for your response.

    Hi CV CV We're pleased you are enjoying our videos 🙂. The Taoist principle of Wu Wei is not a religious practice. It is a philosophical teaching and approach to life that encourages you to life in your natural flow. There is a historical off-shoot branch of Taoism that went into religious practices but we are firmly in the philosophical Taoism camp. Philosophical Taoism teaches 'Oneness' - we are all the same and all connected... so they do not believe in separation/duality (something/someone being better or lesser) or hierarchy ('Gurus', 'Gods' etc). We hope this helps... You may also find this video interesting: kzread.info/dash/bejne/eJ-BydKhhc6ycpc.html Alex + David x

    What.a.nonsense. Wu wei is NOT 'go with the flow.' Wu wei had several meanings through the ages. The core of wu wei is not wanting what people 'agreed' what is 'important'. Daoists are not interested in 'winning', being the best, having 'succes' and so on. Daoists find their pleasure in a simple quiet life. Wi wei is not working for / longing for social status, succes, honour. And having a peacefull life and mind. Their model of life is nature, not human society.
