Qi ( 氣 ) is a word that carries many

meanings. All trying to capture it's essence in english and there is

really not one. The character itself is derived from rice in pot with

steam rising from it.

Perspectives of Chi

There are many forms of Qi. (Chi, Ki, Prana most say theoretically same

thing) I define Qi :

Using the character meaning to demonstrate how complex cooking rice can

be if you want to make it complicated, or how simple.

Energetic View (Energy)

Physiological View (Life Force)

Biomechanical View (Effeciency)

Giving three various way how to see it. Eventually you will see they all

the same. :)
