Starting to teach some "Yi Liang"

Our QiGong practice starting to teach the "Yi Nian" two weeks before New year, I am not sure this "Yi Nian" really mean in English. May be it only can said "your thinking", where you mind thnk the way, like when you think you palm, the "yi nian" go to there, then it is "yi nian". The place where you think, the way of what you think the part of our body is "yi nian". Hope you all can get what I mean.
