Tai Chi master and filmmaker George Thompson shares how movement became a form of meditation and a path to healing.

From training with a Taoist monk in the mountains to recovering from a knee injury using only internal awareness, George explores how mindful movement can transform our thoughts, breath, and daily lives.

We discuss:

  • How Tai Chi helped him heal chronic pain
  • Breath and body awareness as daily meditation
  • Taoist perspectives on the universe and emptiness
  • Internal Family Systems and labeling your inner “parts”
  • Why facing life’s challenges with integrity is the real practice
