Qi (Chi): A Practical Interpretation (30)

[dealmaker007]

Well thank you for uploading this video Mr. John Fung I found it helpful. I will check out more of your videos!

Could you explain a little bit about what Qi Stagnation is please? Also when you add herbs to your formulas to 'Enhance Qi Circulation' are these herbs being used to prevent Qi Stagnation?

[askjohnfung]

See my video on Qi. Qi is just a concept, not something real that you can see. Basically, it means energy.

When you enhance energy circulation in your body, does it necessarily prevents energy stagnation? Yes!

Your obsession with names and words prevents you from applying your common sense. Different words may mean basically the same thing if you know how to connect them with your reasoning.

[buzzaw77]

It sounds like all illness/disharmony in the body can be considered a Stagnation of Qi. After all if the Qi was functioning correctly there would be no disease, so it must be blocked, deviated or malfunctioning in some way. Or am I wrong again?

[askjohnfung]

Yes, you're wrong again. You're in a perpetual mental confusion. You may say every illness is due to Qi stagnation. However, it does not help you practically to fix the real problem.

You're not living in this practical world. You're living in a world where things are defined by words, labels, and false reasoning. Get practical please.

[buzzaw77]

I completely agree, it's not practical at all! It doesn't help you choose any herbs because by the reasoning I've used above all herbs must move Qi in some way. There is no practicality to it.

[buzzaw77]

So the aim of Chinese Medicine then is to take a person with bad Qi and change things with herbs so that their Qi becomes good. Does that mean that there is some sort of Qi in the herbs themselves?

[askjohnfung]

Yes.

Please view my video on Qi. Qi is everywhere because this world is alive. It's just a thinking. Nobody can prove that Qi physically exists, just like nobody can prove that soul exists. But believing in that can improve your attitude and way of life. Why not? Be practical, not theoretical.

[buzzaw77]

Is it correct to say that a person who is physically weak and ill has 'bad Qi', and on the other hand someone strong and vital has 'good Qi'?

[askjohnfung]

Correct. It's just one more description of the body. Do not read too much into it.

If you have bad luck today, you can say you have bad Qi. Just one more description. No big deal.

Sorry if im bothering you again...But,is it true Qi can be gathered from "cosmic energy"?

[askjohnfung]

You're not bothering me at all. I think you understand it. Qi is all around you and in you. The cosmos is alive if you take note. It's the biggest energy source.

[JoshHull1994]

I guess you could say Qi is like the "force"in the star wars movies...Its all around us,in us...Its like an energy

I tried the Qi fireball meditation and it worked!
