気 (Energy) is a fundamental concept in various East Asian philosophies and practices, particularly in Chinese medicine and martial arts. It is often described as a vital life force that flows through the body, influencing physical health and emotional well-being. Balancing and cultivating 気 is believed to enhance vitality and promote healing. In Tai Chi and Qigong, practitioners focus on harnessing and directing 気 through specific movements and breathing techniques. This practice aims to improve energy flow, reduce stress, and increase overall health. Understanding and working with 気 can lead to a more harmonious and balanced life.
