What Is Chi Energy? Everything You Need to Know About the Ancient Chinese Term

Learning about it can help you feel better—tenfold. Is it chi or qi? Both terms have been used to describe this undercurrent force and while they are technically interchangeable, they vary slightly based on its cultural origin. “[It’s called] qi in Chinese medicine or prana in ayurvedic, yogic tradition,” says Annie McDonnell, LAc, of New York’s Joy Alchemy Acupuncture.

Accessing the Universal Energy of Qi

Scientists have found no way to detect it, but millions of meditation, yoga, taichi, and qigong practitioners around the world are intimate with it and regulate its circulation through their minds and bodies to manage their health.

How to Harness the Power of Chi

Many techniques exist for working with chi. Perhaps the most well-known are acupuncture, tai-chi, yoga, meditation, and qigong (pronounced chee gong).

Is there any scientific evidence that chi or prana actually exists?

Here in the west there is certainly not much in the way of scientific evidence, but that is mostly down to the fact that the wrong type of instruments are being used, in order to measure the wrong type of energetic activity.

Overview of Qi or Chi

Qi (Pronounced Chee) is the vital force or life energy that flows through your body. The concept of Qi energy dates back thousands of years in Chinese History. Qi is written about extensively in The Yellow Emperor’s Classic of Internal Medicine written around 2700 BC by numerous ancient physicians. This manual is still required reading for many doctors of traditional Chinese medicine.

The Enigma of Chinese Medicine

Can qi theory be scientific in this more rigorous sense? Skepticism seems reasonable here because no one has seen qi directly. Even the meridians (or channels) of qi in the body remain undetectable to Western instruments, yet T.C.M. practitioners spend years mastering the meridian anatomical charts.

What is Qi power and has it been proven to exist scientifically?

I think the main thing Qi does is subconsciously boost your own willpower. This may be simplified, but it works like a placebo. If someone believes they have an increased energy about them that will allow them to defeat their opponent, their thought goes less into fear and doubt, more into trusting their body and their knowledge/technique.

Is Chi Energy Like Bioenergy?

Although surrounded by ancient mysticism, chi energy is that which Western scientists have called the Quantum Field. The theories are markedly similar when compared side-by-side.
