Qi (pronounced Ch-ee), literally means “air”, is a primary element that generates the nature environment for the living things. In Chinese medicine, Qi is used to describe the primary life force (or vital energy flow) in the body environment, which is considered as the primary force to lead and coordinate the normal organic and spiritual activities.

In nature world, a turbulent airflow can create the disaster to our nature environment; similarly, a disordered Qi flow in the body causes diseases.

Qi in our body is a functional flow, or, “dynamic flowing” is the way of how the Qi exists and functions; An adequate and smooth body Qi flow, therefore, is required for the healthy body, mind, and spirit.

Qi in our body is a product that is “crystallized” by the interaction of the ingested food nutrition and the essence of Mother Nature Qi  through our breathing activities. In Qigong exercise, the “breathing activities” include the coordination of mental focus, lower abdominal (Dan-Tian) “inner breathing”, and sometimes, the conceptual “skin breathing” or some body movements in addition to the ordinary respiratory “external breathing”.

Medical Qigong shares the basic theories and principles of Qi and meridians as in Traditional Chinese medicine and acupuncture; it is a process to cultivate Qi preserve and to regulate Qi flow in the meridians towards the new levels and thus, to prevent or heal diseases, promote health and longevity, and improve life quality.

There are two ways to apply medical Qigong. One is self-practice to promote health and longevity; the other one is to apply the emitted Qi to treat diseases for other person, which requires the practitioner of years of experience and significant clinical skills.
