Homonym: chi (Energy)
Chi is a concept originating from ancient Chinese philosophy and medicine, representing the vital life force or energy that flows through all living things. It is believed to be essential for maintaining health and balance in the body. In traditional practices like Tai Chi and Qigong, individuals cultivate and harness this energy through specific movements, breathing techniques, and meditation.
In Traditional Chinese Medicine, the flow of chi is thought to influence physical and emotional well-being. Blockages or imbalances in chi can lead to health issues, which is why therapies such as acupuncture and herbal medicine aim to restore its proper flow, promoting overall wellness.
