| | Qi - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Qi, also commonly spelled ch'i, chi or ki, is a fundamental concept of traditional Chinese culture, most often defined as "air" or "breath" (for example, a term meaning "weather" is tiān qi, or the "breath of heaven") and, by extension, "life force" or "spiritual energy" that is part of everything that exists. | | | Theories of traditional Chinese medicine assert that the body has natural patterns of qi associated with it that circulate in channels called meridians in English. | | | References to qi or similar philosophical concepts as a type of metaphysical energy that sustains living beings have been used in many belief systems, especially in Asia. |

| | Qi is the quality of our experience which we clearly experience, but which to enumerate or dissect or 'nail down', would obscure the totality of the experience, shrinking its multidimensionality, and it's connection to cosmology. | | | This is the practice of qi gong, bagua zhang, taiji chuan, and is a link these practices have to ritual. | | | Qi gong can be viewed as an experiment with altering our physical relationship to any two polarizations. |

| | Qi Gong |
| | Using needles along certain points of the meridians to "unblock" the flow of qi, thus bringing health to the body, is a very commonly used method of treating disease in China (Though, their medical facilities, and medical training, is starting to lean more towards western thought). | | | I can personally attest to the effectiveness of using Ba Duan Jin qi gong practice to help relieve bad migraine pain, however, I feel that the relaxation effects of this practice may play a more significant role towards that pain relief than any manipulation of the qi. | | | Psychological qi gong: I now digress, and get out of the physical framework of my categorization of qi gong, and move into some of what I call, "other forms" of qi gong; or, more specifically, reasons and explanations for what people think is qi gong. |
