Qi (气)
Vital Life Energy
Qi is the fundamental energy that flows through all living beings. In TCM, health depends on the smooth, abundant flow of Qi through the body's meridian system. When Qi is blocked, deficient, or stagnant, disease and discomfort arise.
Practical Applications:
- •Qigong breathing exercises to cultivate and circulate Qi
- •Acupuncture to unblock meridian pathways
- •Tai Chi movements to harmonize Qi flow
- •Herbal tonics to nourish and replenish Qi
