Stay Fit

If you have ever heard of ideas from physical fitness or Yoga, then you are familiar with the idea of using the energy in your body properly.  In Chinese Medicine, the energy that you have is something that is much deeper than a physical fitness.  The idea if Qi (Chee), is an energy force that is often referred to in order to stay healthy. 

The idea of Qi begins with elements that are in the use universe that make up energy.  This same Qi that is in the universe is, by Chinese medicine philosophy, also in ever living being.  The Qi that is being referred to is something that Chinese philosophy considers to be in every part of every thing.  It can’t be destroyed, only changed. 

 One way to explain the way that Qi functions in Chinese philosophy is through the element of water.  Under certain conditions, water will change into ice or evaporate.  Even though it is changing form or place, it still functions as the same type of energy in the other form.
