I do not believe in Qi

“I do not believe in Qi!”,

“It’s impossible!”,

“I don’t believe you can move a person without touching them!”,

“It’s all psychological!”.

When I heard some people say those things, I thought to myself “Great! Keep saying that, don’t change until you die!”

But..what I was surprised about was a few of those who said it are Taiji practitioners !

Nowadays, many scientists and doctors go to study acupuncture, Qigong, Homeopathy, Feng Shui, I-Ching etc. They all want to find out ‘What is Qi ?‘.

They want to find out how the eastern culture and skill can ‘save’ the world. Through their studies, they have already found that Qi covers many things: infrared radiation (heat), static electricity, magnetic fields, gamma rays and other tiny particle streams. They still need to do more research.
Within the Chinese Culture, Qi is the ‘spirit’. The Chinese character for Qi is made up of two ‘words’: one is ‘rice’, the other is ‘steam’.

When we cook rice using water and fire we see steam, so the first time we ‘saw’ Qi was from observing steam. Therefore Qi has no shape, it is not fixed, it is something you might see, something you might smell and something you might feel.

Introduction to Chi Gong (Qigong – Khí công)

• Chi (qi) is an ancient Chinese term, which can be translated as energy. Like energy, the word chi is used in both abstract and concrete terms, and applied to both general concepts and specific phenomena. In other words, chi is ambiguous. (People who use the term often have a specific meaning in mind.)
• In the broadest sense of the word, chi is generally understood to be pervasive, present in everyone and everything, but it is not uniformly distributed.
• Chi moves freely around the universe, assuming various forms along the way. Disciplines such as Chi Kung (Qigong) and Feng Shui purport to observe and manipulate chi, for the specific benefit of human life. (more…)
