What is Qi? Understanding the Life Force in Chinese Medicine

What is Qi? It is often translated as "vital energy" or "life force." In these belief systems, Qi is thought to be the underlying energy that flows through all living things, connecting and animating everything in the universe. It's the dynamic force that sustains life and promotes balance and harmony within the body, mind, and spirit. In traditional Chinese medicine, the balance and flow of Qi within the body's meridian pathways are believed to be essential for maintaining good health, while blockages or imbalances can lead to illness. Learn about how Qi is transferred and moved throughout the body!

I'm surprised you didn't mention the electro-magnetic components of qi. Yang Jing Ming refers to qi as bio-electric. Physics decribes how electrical fields can transform into magnetic fields and visa versa. A coworker described how a friend of his in college could measure his qi magnetically. Qi is facinating from its physical perspective.
