 We have chi from food, we have chi from the air, we have chi from what we inherit from our parents and those combined will produce the chi, the chi that we are able to use for our body function. A lot of people can use the word energy for chi but that doesn't encompass all that chi does. We can look at chi as not just the energy that makes our bodies move but what are the different components that contribute to that function and motion. You know for example the air we breathe you know that that supplies oxygen for example to help with the metabolic process within our bodies. The food that we eat will provide the material that we need to for example burn in our bodies to produce the energy. The genetic makeup we have that we inherit from our parents and before that also contributes to how you know the metabolic process also occurs right. So all those components all of them are part of chi and each of them are different aspects of chi. Chi can also be explained by at the cellular level the mitochondrial process and the ATP process in which energy is released and then used by the cells and therefore by the body as a whole. So in summary chi can be explained as what we need to live yeah and not only live but live well.
