Fundamental Concept of Qi and Qi in our lives.

​

This presentation will illuminate the fundamental concept of Qi from a cultural, philosophical and TCM perspective, including the following seminal areas of academic interest:

·         The definition of Qi - What is the fundamental basis that defines “Qi” as we know it today?

·         How does Qi work and how is it perceived in a Qi-cultured setting?

·         How has the concept of Qi evolved over the last 5000 years and how is it related to today’s view of Qi as understood in our Tai Chi/Qigong classes?

·         How is the ancient philosophical concept of Qi comprehended from a western perspective in a non-Qi cultural setting?

·         How does the western philosophical concept of abstraction itself affect the western understanding of the complete Qi phenomenon?
