Physics-Week 3-Energy & Qi
Before I started writing about energy and Qi, I read the article Could Your Mindset Affect How Well a Treatment Works? It seems like one appropriate way to approach the concept of energy. Our minds can be our greatest enemy or our strongest ally. An outlook on a problem can be completely different from one person to the next. The energy we choose to give to a certain situation can change our perception of the entire experience. Energy is in everything. Energy is moving, alive, and active. In the body, Qi is moving (if it is normal and flowing as it should), alive, and active. Energy can stagnate and cause problems just as Qi can stagnate in the body and cause heat, pain, lack of blood flow, deficiency or excess. Energy and Qi are inseparable. They exist in different matter at different times or at the same time. One person who does not believe Qi exists may not have any positive affects from receiving acupuncture while someone who doesn't believe in Qi may have an amazing treatment and come back for more. In this way, two similar outlooks can have 2 different effects. Is it Qi or energy moving that creates their experience or their mindset? Maybe both?
