In Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) qi is the generic term for the various types of energy that power our bodies including the bio-electrical and chemical processes that are the “alive” aspect of our biology. One branch of TCM called Fa Kung (emission work) specializes in working directly with the qi.Tonight, Sigung Richard Clear talked to us about his experience of using healing skill, and he illustrated that there are always higher levels to try for. Without qi (energy) we are just a collection of organic matter (skin, bones, etc). Qi is responsible for the repairing and healing of our body. In TCM you’ll often see illness described in terms of qi imbalances or blockages. Treating these issues can involve balancing the qi, removing blockages and focusing qi to areas that need it. Different types of TCM will accomplish this in different ways. Herbalists, for example, will use herbs to stimulate the qi while an acupuncturist will use needles. You can see an example of this in the lesson “Strengthen Mind Intent & Heal Others” on The Practical Guide to Internal Power: http://www.clearmartialarts.com/?p=14742
