It
is a very similar concept to what Western scientists call Energy. |
|
The word means a lot more than what can be explained; it is a concept as real, but as axiomatic as "Energy" itself. It can be easily experienced, managed and transformed all the time, even if we do not notice. By understanding the laws under which it functions, we are able to create wonderful things like telecommunications, the world's electric infrastructure, extremely complex devises, and even terrible things such as nuclear weapons. But it doesn't matter how deeply we understand it, we could never describe it completely. |

The
same thing happens with Qi, nevertheless, just to make an introduction
to the subject of this work, we can say that
Qi is the "force / substance" from which everything in the Universe is created, both, matter and energy, living or not living... |
|
Although Qi and Energy are not quite the same thing, it is of great importance to understand that the more our Modern Physics evolve, it's conclusions and discoveries are having more aspects that correspond to the knowledge of the Sages either modern or ancient. As of today, there is an amazing increment in the number of Western doctors and scientists who enrich their lives and work with the knowledge that comes from the Far East. |
