BiGu Grain-Free Fasting and
TCM Food Therapy Workshop
The BiGu Grain-Free Fasting Workshop is a 2-day Emei Qigong training that combines Traditional Chinese Medicine Food Therapy with instruction in BiGu practice, energetic fasting principles, and supportive cultivation methods.
Join Master Stan Pannone for a 2-day online BiGu workshop on May 16–17, 2026, at 8:00 AM Phoenix, Arizona time.
This special training is presented in two half-day sessions: Day 1 focuses on Traditional Chinese Medicine Food Therapy, and Day 2 explores the principles and practices of BiGu within the Emei Qigong system.
Registration includes digital workshop materials and replays, so you can review the teachings after the live event.
In Emei Qigong, BiGu is considered a high level of Qigong cultivation that supports health, energy, and inner development.
You will learn how to enter the BiGu state using breath where your body’s usage of energy becomes very low. This allows you to fast by eliminating hunger while maintaining your energy.
On the second day of the Emei Qigong BiGu Workshop, the process of starting the BiGu fast and entering BiGu State is fully explained.
This seminar/workshop is centered on the principles and practices of BiGu within the Emei Qigong system, as outlined in Grandmaster Fu’s book/manual, Emei Qigong BiGu: Grain-Free Fasting. Participants will learn methods to engage in this specific type of energetic fasting for health and spiritual benefits. Upon registration, you will receive a digital copy of the book.
You will learn exercises to collect universal Qi to help you maintain fasting in a healthy, hunger-free state.
Some of the benefits and effects of BiGu are:
Facilitating healing and prevention of ailments
Cleansing Internal Organs
Normalizing weight
Detoxifying toxins
Nourishing the skin
Improving Qigong’s Practice
Enhancing latent abilities: The BiGu Fasting Seminar refers to the practice of BiGu, which is a form of grain-free cellular fasting associated with Emei Qigong, a traditional Chinese energy healing and meditation system.

The Difference Between BiGu Grain Free Fasting and Regular Fasting
| Qigong BiGu | Regular Fasting |
|---|---|
| Begins gradually and naturally. Hunger is minimized through Qigong cultivation, and if hunger arises, energetic practice is used to help resolve it. | Usually begins immediately. Feelings of hunger can be more difficult to manage. |
| Regular practice, along with Food Therapy principles, helps support healthier long-term eating habits and weight balance. | Weight loss is often temporary and may result partly from purging or fluid loss, with weight commonly returning after the fast ends. |
| Can often be practiced independently while continuing normal daily activities. | Often requires greater rest, reduced activity, or a more controlled setting. |
| May include Qi transmission from a qualified teacher or self-practice methods to help initiate the process. | May require outside supervision depending on the type and intensity of the fasting approach. |
| With practice, the process becomes more natural and familiar. | Requires a conscious decision each time the fast is undertaken. |
| Teaches diagnostic and Food Therapy principles to help practitioners make more suitable food choices over time. | Does not typically include an individualized Food Therapy approach for ongoing dietary adjustment. |
Food Therapy
During this Workshop you will learn the energy relationship between food and the human body.
By understanding the energetic nature of different foods and choosing what to eat, an individual can adjust the hot/yang and cold/yin energies in the body and bring the body’s yin-yang energy into relative balance.
Food Therapy provides guidance on how to eat and valuable advice that can be used over an entire lifetime.
