MENTIONED IN THE BOOK. YOU MUST STUDY Ig GONG FOR
APPROXIMATELY THREE YEARS BEFORE YOU CAN BEGIN STUDYING THE
BI GU METHOD. THE BI GU METHOD INVOLVES ABSTAINING FROM
FOOD. THIS IS A VERY OLD METHOD OF CIGONG THAT EXISTED
DURING THE HAN DYNASTY. ITS PURPOSE IS TO PROLONG LIFE,
MAINTAIN HEALTH, AND RAISE IQ GONG ABILITIES.
A. AFTER THE INITIAL THREE YEARS OF PRACTICING IQ GONG, 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.

STARVATION DIET. WHEN YOU MASTER THIS TYPE OF IQ GONG, 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.

STYLES. THESE FALSE MASTERS TRY TO ENTICE PEOPLE TO SPEND
ENORMOUS AMOUNTS OF MONEY TO HEAL THEM OR TEACH THEM THE ART
OF QIGONG.
COMMENTS: FIELD COMMENTS. THESE BOOKS HAVE STORIES THAT
MAKE INCREDIBLE CLAIMS. HOWEVER, A GREAT MAJORITY OF CHINESE
PEOPLE BELIEVE IN THE ABILITIES OF ICS GONG AND OFTEN CALL UPON
IQ GONG MASTERS TO HEAL THEM. IQ GONG IS AN ANCIENT CHINESE
ART THAT MAY MERIT ATTENTION. THERE HAVE BEEN MANY BOOKS
WRITTEN ON THE SUBJECT AND AN INTERNATIONAL IQ GONG CONVENTION
IS HELD EVERY YEAR. ACCORDING TO THE IQ GONG MASTERS, YOU
MUST FOCUS ON WHAT YOU WOULD LIKE TO ACHIEVE BEFORE YOU BEGIN
STUDYING. THIS HELPS YOU TO DECIDE WHAT STYLE OF IQ GONG
WOULD BE MOST APPROPRIATTE TO ASSIST YOU IN ACCOMPLISHING
YOUR GOAL.
