qi flow
Vital force current
Qi flow refers to the movement of vital energy through the body according to traditional Chinese medicine and related practices.
Practitioners believe qi circulates along specific pathways called meridians, and that blocked or stagnant qi causes illness or discomfort.
Acupuncture, tai chi, and qigong aim to restore proper qi flow: The massage therapist worked to improve my qi flow.
