From Food to Yi Qi – From Yi Qi to Light

Our lives are in constant exchange with the information and energies of the Earth, the cosmos, the heavens, nature, and our surroundings. In this exchange, we are nourished by food, the air, sunlight, water, plants, animals … In traditional Chinese practices of life cultivation, people began exploring the connection between Qi and food at an early stage: When, through our cultivation, our diet gradually becomes lighter and less abundant, and when body and heart become calm, can we open ourselves to subtler perceptions? Can we learn to sense Qi and light, and experience a deeper connection between our lives, nature, heaven, and earth? Can we nourish, strengthen, and elevate our life energy beyond food?

Yi Qi Bi Gu is a special form of fasting that continues to explore precisely these questions and offers us a cultivation practice through which we can come to know our bodies, ourselves, and life more deeply. Sifu Wei Ling Yi taught us the cultivation of “Yi Qi” – the energy of cosmic origin and source – and introduced us to the practice of Yi Qi Bi Gu fasting. Through exercises, meditation, and cultivation, we learn to perceive and receive the highest cosmic energy, “Yi Qi.” Step by step, through our practice, we learn to open and expand our consciousness, increasingly connecting with nature, heaven, earth, and the cosmos, and cultivating the light within us.

The less we allow ourselves to be distracted by external influences, the more space opens up within us, along with an awareness of the truly essential things in life: What does our body really need? What do our heart and soul need? What can we discover within ourselves as we become increasingly still?

The fasting process of Yi Qi Bi Gu inevitably leads us on an inner journey and, through receiving Yi Qi, toward receiving light. Light is everywhere. Everything is permeated by light. The question is whether we can consciously perceive this light and use it for our cultivation: the light of the sun, the cosmos, nature, the light of plants and of life itself. How can we learn to nourish ourselves through light? And what connection exists between Qi, light, and our lives?

The deeper we enter into the cultivation practice of Yi Qi Bi Gu fasting, and the calmer and more open we become, the more space emerges to explore light, consciously develop it, and gather it within ourselves. It reveals itself as inner clarity, as an inner radiance, as a luminosity that surrounds us.

Thus, the path leads from external nourishment to inner perception, from the stillness of the body to an opening into life. From perceiving the light, to receiving the light, and ultimately to “Fu Guang” – allowing ourselves to be nourished by light.

Through Yi Qi Bi Gu, Sifu Wei Ling Yi has left us a method for cultivating life, enabling us to know ourselves more and more deeply, to open ourselves, and to continue developing. Every experience can, at the same time, become a new encounter with ourselves.

If you like, I can also make this more elegant and natural for an English-language website or seminar brochure, rather than keeping it close to the German wording.

About the Seminar
What does Yi Qi Bi Gu mean?
YI QI BI GU is described as a holistic, strengthening form of nutrition and a cultivation method intended to develop and raise awareness of a healthy way of living.
Literally translated, the Chinese term Bi Gu means “abstaining from grains.” During the half-fasting period, this also includes abstaining from animal products, bread, sugar, and stimulants. We consume only vegetables, fruit, and water.

In this seminar, we begin with the half-fasting method, which the organizing team will introduce in detail. All further methods, such as water fasting, complete fasting, and “light fasting,” require many years of experience and a more advanced level of holistic development.

The Fasting Process
During the fasting process, the cells experience a lack of food while, at the same time, an increase in vital energy, or Qi. The connection between internal and external energy within the cellular structures is described as a source of bodily energy. According to the YiXue approach, this process enables the effortless transformation of universal energy into the body’s energetic system.
The fasting process is supported by exercises intended to absorb energy from nature and the cosmos, as well as exercises intended to release toxins, unhealthy Qi, and negative information.

Strong feelings of hunger are generally said not to occur. Possible tiredness and discomfort are said to subside after a few days, so that participants generally feel light, free, and energized.

According to the seminar description, many complaints, pains, and inflammatory conditions may decrease or disappear completely during the fasting period. The seminar is intended as a starting point for a period of fasting that participants may extend beyond the course according to their wishes. Ideally, we should remain relaxed during the fasting period and allow negative or depleted energy, metabolic waste products, and toxins to be released. It is important to get sufficient rest and sleep in order to put the cells into a relaxed state. We should fast in a quiet and peaceful environment that supports stillness and personal cultivation.

How Should I Prepare for the Seminar?
To prepare for the half-fasting seminar, it is recommended that participants avoid meat, alcohol, and stimulants such as sweets for several days beforehand. Coffee and black tea consumption should gradually be reduced beforehand, as should bread and pasta. It is advisable to start eating mainly vegetables and fruit several days before the seminar. It is also recommended to drink plenty of water, preferably hot or warm.

In the organizers’ opinion, a previous bowel cleanse is not necessary for the half-fasting seminar. Exercises intended to stimulate digestion are practiced during the seminar. Further questions can be answered during the course. After fasting, we initially begin eating millet and bananas and gradually return to a normal eating routine.

What You Need for the Seminar
* A thermos flask or insulated water bottle so that you can drink hot water at any time.
* A YiXue rice bag for the group practice of the tapping technique used for release and energy development. New participants can either use their fists for tapping or order a rice bag (€36) from the YiXue Education Center by emailing lotusshop@yixue.de.
* bottles of still mineral water
*  red dates (available from Chinese shops or pharmacies that sell Chinese teas). Alternatively, ordinary pitted dates can also be used. During meditation, the dates are placed under the tongue for the release process.
* A selection of vegetables and fruit according to personal taste, preferably seasonal produce such as: Pumpkin, Beetroot, Different types of cabbage, Carrots, Zucchini, Eggplant, Bell peppers, Mushrooms, Tomatoes, Cucumber, Dried fruit and/or unsalted, unseasoned nuts, such as hazelnuts, walnuts, and almonds. If desired, dried fruit to stimulate digestion
Fruit in moderate amounts, such as apples, oranges, pears, plums, and grapes
