How long is your longest fast?

I think 99.99% of people believe that people cannot leave food and water

But 0.01% of people will tell you that they can live on air. This is called bi gu in China. Let's take a look at their story.

In fact, some religions have their own unique fasting culture

but they have boundaries, and air eaters need to fast for life

Air-eating is a philosophy based on sacred Hindu texts

Believers believe that humans can live without food and water and rely on Prana

In Sanskrit, Prana means "life force, "" breath of life.

That is to say, humans can survive only by relying on invisible life forces

I'm sure some of you will think I'm talking nonsense

Apparently there are a lot of people who believe in it religiously

They also embraced the fasting movement

They call themselves Breatharians

Why do these adults believe this theory?

Of course, the most extreme and ideal situation is to not eat or drink at all

However, some conscious eaters still believe in eating small amounts of food a week

A piece of fruit or some broth should be enough

They also encourage believers to learn meditation, yoga and breathing

So you can take more prana out of the air

In addition, most Breatharian masters also believe that the fasting process requires a transition period.

Approximately 2-3 weeks, then reduce the food intake until finally fasting completely

This seems very scientific, after all, the masters cannot enter the fasting phase immediately.

Leaders in breatharianism

Breatharianism has a history of 400 years, it has really become popular since the 1980s and 1990s

In the early 1980s

A man named Willie Brooks founded the Eating Air Movement in the United States.

He is also the leader of the Air Eaters

Willie believes he was Jesus Christ in a previous life

Christ energy is the power of life. Over the years, he recruited a large number of followers

Held expensive seminars to train people to breathe.

He says it's about leading believers to a higher spiritual level

But breathing costs nothing

Willie claims that McDonald's cheeseburgers are harmless to Breatharians and are completely edible

Ironically, Willie has been spotted eating in public more than once

In the 90s, another leader was born, Alan Griff, an Australian

Ellen claims she can survive on sunlight and air, but she drinks tea occasionally

What followed was even more absurd

Ellen appeared on the TV show 60 Minutes.

The show asked her to show her life without food or water

The show also hired a doctor to examine Allen's condition

However, after 48 hours of the show, Allen showed symptoms of acute dehydration and high blood pressure.

She said it was air pollution affecting the practice

On the third day, Alan asked to be filmed in the mountains. Four days later Allen admitted he had lost weight

But because this would cause Alan's kidney failure, the doctor stopped the show

It turns out Ellen wasn't too great, either, as the show found a lot of food in her fridge

Allen does not admit that she will eat these foods. But everyone already knows she is ridiculous

A couple of Breatharian

However, in the United States, there is really a couple who insisted on not eating or drinking for nine years.

The wife did not interrupt the plan during pregnancy

His name was Akasha and his wife's was Camilla

The couple got married in 2008, and later learned about the breathing method through friends, and began to practice with great concentration

They first adopt a vegan diet and then eat only fruit

Finally, they began training in 21-day breathing therapy

The plan was not simple. They really didn’t eat or drink for the first seven days

For the next seven days, they only drank some water

For the last seven days, they only drank water and diluted juice.

The couple firmly believe in getting energy from nature, the universe and other sources

So they don't need to eat anything

They showed by their actions that it is possible to survive on only sunlight/air and plana

They spent the money they saved on travel

Camilla once said that when she was pregnant with her first child, she practiced breatharianism, and hunger was a strange feeling to her.

Camilla is proud to say that all the indicators of the child are normal

I think their deeds are ridiculous, but many well-known media have reported their deeds and they have also established websites

It is understood that the couple's video course costs approximately US$200 While the 8-day offline Course starts at US$1,000.

They traveled to South America in 2002 to visit a powerful breathing therapist

From then on, they learned that in South America, some people get their vitality by breathing.

Their most popular course is the 8-day offline course, which costs US$1000-1700 and the number of participants is about 10

After determining the number of people and time, Akash and Camilla will fly to the city where the believers are to teach them

A reporter once had the honor to observe a teaching session

Akasha gave the trainees guided breathing training at 9 am and 5 pm respectively.

Akasha told the participants that as long as they adapt to the gas method, they can see light energy particles floating in the air

The participants, however, believed it

Everyone drank the diluted juice seriously and then went on a three-year fast

Some participants were asked why they were attending the course

They want to be physically and mentally healthy

But some people are very direct about their intention to lose weight

One of the devout participants was Mary

Her husband has ALS

It was terrible news for the family

Mary longed for something that would heal her heart

She learned Breatharianism, and to her surprise, her menstrual cramps disappeared

Mary's friend had already been diagnosed as infertile

She has also successfully conceived a baby since eating air

Akasha and Camilla are very good at marketing, they sell their stories through marketing companies

Some people will believe them. But their teaching is completely zero cost

So what's the difference between this and a cult, anyway

It's annoying that some people who believe in breatharianism died of pneumonia, stroke, severe dehydration, etc.

These leaders are scammers with no conscience

That is all, see you next time
