Qi – Energy

Qi is simply translated as energy, but in the human body this animating force is life itself. In death, Qi flow has stopped.
Life force cannot be seen directly or measured like blood or other bodily fluids, but it is a force brought about by metabolism. A complex system of organs that breakdown molecules to release energy and build complex molecules from simpler ones, requiring energy. Although, Qi can be felt by using our sense of touch / feeling. Through proper practice these sensations can become clearer and located in the body more specifically.
Sickness and disease simply stated is when Qi flow is unbalanced, often causing Qi to stagnate or run deviant.
Air, water, and food are Qi’s basic building blocks. Qi can be regulated and brought into balance by various physical healing modalities: herbology. acupuncture, Tuina massage, Qigong, and Dietary.
Qigong can be used for therapeutics, martial arts, sports, theatrics, and spiritual pursuits. It needs to be studied academically and applied practically.
