What is Qi?
Qi is the source of all world phenomena. It is the vital component of everything, the very basis of appearance. Qi flows and is contained in every level of existence - within the vast infinity of the universe, within stones, minerals, life forms, molecules, atoms, etc. It provides the stability and connectivity in all material, and non-material forms, and animates the forms of the world.
It is impossible to give a steady definition of the concept of Qi. Therefore we will let the various translations further clarify.
Qi:
“matter”, “energy”, “matter-energy”,
“vital power”, “moving power”,
“vital force”, “life force”...(1)
