A. AFTER THE INITIAL THREE YEARS OF PRACTICING QIGONG, YOU CAN BEGIN ENGAGING IN THE BI GU METHOD. DURING THE FIRST THREE DAYS, YOU ARE TO EAT ONLY TWO MEALS A DAY. EVERY MORNING YOU MUST GET UP BETWEEN 3:00 AM AND 5:00 AM, GET INTO A COMFORTABLE POSITION, CLOSE YOUR EYES, PLACE YOUR TONGUE ON THE HARD PALATE OF YOUR MOUTH, AND BREATH THROUGH YOUR MOUTH. YOU MUST INHALE AND EXHALE BETWEEN 360 AND 1,000 TIMES. THIS MUST BE DONE OUTSIDE AMONG THE TREES AND PLANTS. THIS ALLOWS YOUR BODY TO EAT THE "QI" WHICH IS PRESENT AMONG PLANT LIFE. AFTER THREE DAYS, YOU MUST CUT DOWN TO ONE MEAL A DAY, AND CONTINUE THE SAME PROCESS. AFTER TEN DAYS YOU WILL EAT NOTHING. B. THIS TYPE OF QIGONG IS NOT TO BE FORCED. IT IS NOT A STARVATION DIET. WHEN YOU MASTER THIS TYPE OF QIGONG, YOU WILL NOT HAVE HUNGER PAINS, ON THE CONTRARY, YOU WILL HAVE NO DESIRE TO EAT AND YOU'LL BE IN COMPLETE CONTROL OF YOUR BODY.
