Chi, often referred to as life energy or vital force, is a concept rooted in various Eastern philosophies and practices, particularly in Chinese medicine and martial arts. It is believed to flow through the body along pathways called meridians, influencing physical, emotional, and spiritual well-being. Practices such as Tai Chi, Qigong, and acupuncture aim to balance and enhance the flow of Chi to promote health and vitality. When Chi is blocked or unbalanced, it is thought to lead to illness or discomfort, highlighting the importance of maintaining a harmonious flow for overall wellness.
