Qi, Energy of Life

Qi literally translates as “breath” or “air”, and figuratively as “material energy”, “life force”, or “energy flow”.
Ancient people believed qi permeated everything and linked their surroundings together.
It is the flow of energy around and through the body, forming a cohesive and functioning unit.
By understanding its rhythm and flow they believed they could guide exercises and treatments to provide stability and longevity.
Eastern medicine believes that an illness occurs when the flow of qi is impeded.
Meditation helps qi circulation in the body, improving both physical and mental health.
