What is Qi?

QI: Our Life Energy

At the core of this ancient medicine is the understanding that Qi (pronounced "chee") is Life Energy. It is the natural and inherent energy that moves in and through everything. It is that which makes our heart beat without us needing to ask it to. It is the energy that makes flowers grow and it is the vital energy that keeps any living thing alive.

Simply put, it is the same Essence that directs your body to heal itself after being wounded. You do not have to tell your body consciously to scab over and heal, it just happens naturally.

Acupuncture taps into, and works with this energy to support homeostasis and balance.
