The Chi

Chi, often spelled "Qi," is a concept rooted in Chinese philosophy and traditional medicine, representing a vital life force or energy that flows through all living things. It is believed to influence physical, emotional, and spiritual well-being. In practices like acupuncture and tai chi, the balance and flow of chi are thought to be essential for health. Blockages or imbalances in chi can lead to illness, so various therapies aim to promote its harmonization and movement. Understanding chi encourages a holistic view of health, emphasizing the interconnectedness of body, mind, and environment.
