Qi (Energy)
Qi is a fundamental concept in traditional Chinese philosophy and medicine, often translated as "life energy" or "vital energy." It is believed to flow through the body along pathways called meridians, influencing physical, emotional, and spiritual health. Maintaining a balanced flow of Qi is essential for overall well-being.
Practices such as Tai Chi, Qigong, and acupuncture aim to enhance and regulate the flow of Qi. These techniques are used to promote relaxation, reduce stress, and improve health by addressing blockages or imbalances in the body's energy system. Understanding Qi can provide insights into holistic approaches to health and wellness.
