Qi Diet
It is difficult for mortals to obtain energy and enlightenment directly from the universe. Thus, Taoist practitioners inject Qi into food for energy boosting and Tao harmonizing.
This must-have diet for Qi cultivation is called Qi diet. It has a long cultural history and was called Qi Shan during ancient times.
The Qi Diet Culture - Qi Food Blindly
The ancient Qi diet system is one of the Taoist Qi healing practices. It is based on "Qi". The diner takes the meal and seeks the opportunity for spiritual enlightenment while absorbing the Qi. It is a great way for healing or practices. Common types of Qi diet include: enlightenment Qi diet, body-healing Qi diet, anxieties-removing Qi diet, foundation-building Qi diet, and meditation Qi diet.
In the Qi diet culture, from the initial stages of breeding, planting, picking, processing, storage, processing, to the later stages of cooking and tasting, food ingredients are infused with Qi and Tao. Meat, vegetables and fruits from different Qi fields (Feng Shui) are bred according to the “four Qi and five flavors”. They are harvested and processed with Qi at specific festivals and times, cooked and served in specific cooking ware using secret techniques.
