What is Qi?

Qi is a universal life force flowing through all living things. If you are familiar with yoga, this force has been compared to Prana. Qi is constantly in flux, both in the external world and  our bodies, and both yin and yang qualities depend on and give way to each other.  We use these patterns to describe  activities within the body. This energy can be disrupted for a variety of reasons, and cause disharmony within. Qi can be redirected through channels, called meridians, by using massage and acupressure.
