	Qi - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Qi, also commonly spelled ch'i, chi or ki, is a fundamental concept of traditional Chinese culture, most often defined as "air" or "breath" (for example, a term meaning "weather" is tiān qi, or the "breath of heaven") and, by extension, "life force" or "spiritual energy" that is part of everything that exists.
		Most of the theories of qi as a metaphor for the fundamental physical properties of the universe that we are familiar with today were systematized and promulgated in the last thousand years or so by the Neo-Confucians.
		The concept of qi appears often in Chinese wuxia fiction, in which a stock character is that of the kung fu master who has gained control of qi, to the point that he can alter the forces of nature.

		Qi is the quality of our experience which we clearly experience, but which to enumerate or dissect or 'nail down', would obscure the totality of the experience, shrinking its multidimensionality, and it's connection to cosmology.
		Qi is time and direction, it is a body, a community or communities, in ever increasing, or decreasing, concentric circles, or spirals or formations, of smaller and larger entities which are connected because of their participation in a larger body.
		Qi is the central focus of a unifying cosmological view of the universe, which includes the known and the unknown, the detailed and a broader calculus which extrapolates the unity of all things.

		Qi Gong systems are based upon the assumption that the body is primarily composed of subtle energy.
		The Qi level and flow of a specific channel can also affect the muscular tension of the region through which it passes producing either an excess-tense, full, or deficiency-lax, empty (which may still be tense) muscle.
		From another perspective, all of these activities of Qi Gong are the activity of the nameless Tao in its eternal wanderings, a brief sparkle of the eternal in the sea of darkness as all things come into being and return to the formless.

	Qi Gong
		Qi gong was the process of breathing, which, when extrapolated out, (which you do when you translate Chinese to English), it kind of referred to that all surrounding life force.
		Qi had been moved to their skulls so that they could break stones with them, or, qi had been moved to their abdomens, so groups of monks could strike at them with a small version of a telephone pole.
		I categorized qi gong into these nine formats solely for the purpose of presenting the overall concept of what qi gong was, and not make new kinds of qi gong.

		This increased circulation of qi results in the upbearing of the clear and downbearing of the turbid.
		Although the joints are places where the qi and blood should flow most freely, in fact, they are places where the qi and blood can become easily stuck or stagnant.

The award was presented to Dr. Qi at the IEEE Medical Imaging Conference in San Diego last November.
		Qi's method is now in routine use in small animal scanners and is being adapted to commercial machines.
		Qi has also made inroads in relating his expressions for image statistics to the theory of numerical observers, showing theoretically the advantages of Bayesian reconstructions versus more-conventional filtered-backprojection reconstructions in the context of lesion detection.
