Bigu - Energy Fasting

Begin your journey into Bigu—an ancient Daoist art of energy nourishment that liberates you from physical food and activates your latent spiritual potential.

At Heavenly Essence Qigong, we don’t teach ordinary fasting. We teach Bigu—the sacred art of drawing life energy (Qi) directly from the cosmos. Through this powerful training system, you will learn to gradually shift your body’s energy dependence from food to Qi, while cultivating vibrant health, spiritual clarity, and profound energetic autonomy.

Course Structure: Foundational Training of Level 1A is needed to Enroll into Bigu Course. However it is prefered for the Practitioner to Enroll also into Level 1B to activate Microcosmic Orbit for optimum benenfits.

Level 1A – Body Cultivation (Mìnggōng 命功)

Level 1A lays the cornerstone of your internal practice. You will activate your inner energy system, strengthen your body, and begin purifying your energy field.

  • Walking, Running, Sleeping Qigong

    1. Activate Qi Flow in Daily Life

    These practices turn ordinary actions—walking, gentle jogging, and sleeping—into powerful energy cultivation. They open meridians, awaken fascia, and generate internal movement of Qi without needing a formal practice session.

    2. Heal While Moving or Resting

    Walking and running Qigong naturally detox the body, improve cardiovascular and lymphatic systems, and strengthen the lower back and legs. Sleeping Qigong supports deep healing and energetic nourishment through rest and dream states.

    3. Balance the Nervous System

    Each style calms the mind and resets emotional tension. Walking and sleeping practices reduce anxiety and anchor awareness. Running Qigong releases trapped emotions and builds emotional resilience and internal lightness.

    4. Cultivate the Spirit (Shen)

    These methods train the practitioner to remain energetically awake in all states—motion, stillness, and sleep. Over time, they awaken the Yang Shen (spirit body), expand dream consciousness, and strengthen your spiritual presence in both worlds.
