Made In China l QI l Oriental Express l Chinese Whispers l Resource Nature of Qi l Yin and Yang l Emotions l Stress l Obstruction - Pain THE Nature of Qi Perplexing, to say the very least, is this concept, especially to the 'western' mentality, which has, I believe, the ever-dragging anchor of Cartesian and Newtonian influences to contend with. This is not a linear concept and is at first glance, paradoxical. My version: Qi appears as a 'chameleonic substrate' as it were, an undifferentiated phenomenon, embedded into the very fabric of living processes. Qi is 'signals' being expressed through an unlimited array of 'channels,' information in constant flux. It is the groundswell to the 'flow of events' and the very 'nature of things'. The western counterpart - 'energy' - lacks the multi-dimensional qualities of Qi and becomes very easily a tool used to quantify aspects of function, dysfunction and healing, thus missing the implicit importance of gauging, rather, the relationships between things.
