Qi Gong Therapy
What is Qi (pronounced "Chee")?
Qi is the traditional Chinese term denoting "vital energy flow."
The creative or formative principle associated with life and all
processes that characterize living entities. All living things in
nature are manifestations of Qi. Qi is an invisible substance, as
well as force that has palpable and observable manifestations. Please

Qi has its own movement and it can activate the movement of things
other than itself. Qi produce motion and heat. In the context of
a human being, Qi makes the body alive, and it is differentiated
according to its location in specific systems. All physical and
mental activities are manifestations of Qi: sensing, cogitating,
feeling, digesting, stirring, propagating.
One Chinese ideology for Qi is composed of an upper radical representing
"rising vapor" and a lower radical denoting "grain."
The steam that spirals from a pot of cooking rice symbolizes its
distilled essence, hence Qi can be translated as the "vapor
of the finest matter". Qi refers to resources that human being
consumes, transforms, and transmits.
The highly refined essence of food (Food Qi) and air (Air Qi) in
the body becomes one entity known as Pure or Righteous Qi. It is
this Righteous or Zheng Qi that circulates in the channels, regulating
and nourishing all body parts and activities. Defensive Qi (wei)
is the adaptation to influences such as weather or mobilization
of resistance to pathogens and noxious substances in the environment.
Qi also implies the totality of Blood and Moisture. Qi represents
the total summation of the life within an organism.
Qi is regulated by the liver, generated by the spleen, distributed
by the lungs, and stored by the Kidneys.
