It is a special opportunity to spend a weekend meditating and going into silence with Grandmaster Wei Ling Yi. This basic cultivation seminar is suitable for all interested people who want to develop on their spiritual path of life. The special and high ability of Wei Ling Yi is to communicate via the spiritual level from heart to heart and from soul to soul with all participants. Thus, he is able to pick us up at our respective cultivation levels and guide us through the entire weekend to receive the pure lotus information that nourishes and lifts us energetically.

Seminar content:

We are all ordinary people. But the question is: what kind of person do I want to become? It is a profound question and people differ in this development. What we all have in common is that we eat, drink, sleep, sit and stand. We lie down and we walk. These are our essential physical and physiological needs.

But beyond that, the question can arise: How can we develop and perfect our lives beyond our essential needs? The answer lies in cultivating our lives. If we develop our thoughts, emotions and behaviour beyond ordinary existence and our needs, we can say:

”I take destiny into my own hands. I direct my own life.”

Through the practice of ‘sitting on the lotus’, we can look inside ourselves, reflect and start with ourselves in order to change. If we wear comfortable clothes while sitting on the lotus, relax our body and mind, observe and regulate our posture and attitude, then it is possible to open the central energy channel, the central meridian, while sitting on the lotus. In this way, the energy at the root of the lotus flower can be awakened. The digestive organs are relieved and positively influenced.

The half lotus pose allows us to release pressure throughout the body. Sitting in the pose of a swinging lotus flower, with the knees drawn up, corresponds to a blossoming posture that nourishes the heart and lungs. Basically, the aim is to calm the mind, to centre yourself with concentration and clarity and to align yourself with unity. Internalise the following points:

• Don’t be seduced by scents – you could say outward appearances. Focus on unity. You are the unity. The invisible, that is my lotus world.
• Remember, all reactions that appear are completely normal.
• A calm mind without disturbing thoughts and the union of heart and breath are considered healthy sitting on the lotus.

HOW DO WE PREPARE?

The following is needed for the seminar

• Out of respect for heaven, earth and all living beings, we can decorate our altar/table with fruit, flowers and a pink candle. If you can’t find a pink candle, you can also take a red candle.
• For protection against cold and wind during meditation: a cloak – red and at least 3 m long to cover the whole body. The color red protects us against “oblique” qi.
• YiXue rice bag (method tapping technique discharge and energy building) for joint practice. New participants can tap with their fists or purchase a rice bag (36 Euro) at the YiXue Education Center, mail address: lotusshop@yixue.de.
• A scarf (any color) to wear during Wei Ling Yi’s lectures; initiated YiXue students (DiZis) are asked to wear their cultivation scarf.

BACKGROUND TO THE TEACHING Sitting on the Lotus

“Sitting on the Lotus” is a powerful method of cultivation, a method structured from the ground up, which can take us step by step through all levels of spiritual development, accompanied by wisdom teacher Wei Ling Yi. First of all, it is about relaxing and becoming still in order to stably dive into emptiness via the prenatal state and build up light until we can finally unite with the highest cosmic light at a high level. Especially in these challenging times with many natural disasters, accidents, crises and wars, it is important to practice stillness, to center ourselves and to develop and maintain stability. We best serve ourselves, all living beings, the earth and the cosmos when we start with ourselves, change and expand our consciousness. Focusing, we look into the lotus, raising our level of cultivation level by level, to unfold mercy, kindness and peace for the benefit of all beings.

You can find more detailed information about the YiXue cultivation method “Sitting on the Lotus” and its meaning also in the YiXue book “On the Way of Wisdom into the Freedom of the Soul” – Chapter III, on pages 190 – 206.
