chi energy

Vital body energy

Chi energy refers to the vital life force believed in traditional Chinese philosophy and medicine to flow through the body along pathways called meridians.

Practices like acupuncture, tai chi, and qigong aim to balance or cultivate this energy.

In Western contexts, chi energy often appears in discussions of alternative healing, martial arts, and New Age spirituality: She does breathing exercises to increase her chi energy.
