What is
"chee"?

Each of the Zang-Fu
Organ Systems has a
particular Qi – which  
refers to its primary function.

Spleen Qi,  is responsible
for transformation and
transportation (of food and
fluids, primarily).

Lung Qi governs
breathing and voice.

Liver Qi is responsible for
the free flow of emotional
energy.

Heart Qi governs the flow
of blood through the
vessels.

Kidney Qi is associated
with the primordial
energy that we inherited
from our parents.

Each of the other Zang-
Fu has a specific “qi” that
points to its unique
function within the body.

Practitioners of Chinese
Medicine and qigong
have identified many
different kinds of qi.
Within the human body
there is the qi that we’re
born with, called Yuan qi,
or ancestral qi.
The qi that we absorb
during our lives from
food, water, air and
qigong practice is called
Hou tain qi or post-natal
qi.
The qi that flows at the
surface of the body, as a
protective sheathe, is
called Wei qi or
protective qi.

Each internal organ also
has its own qi/life-force

.According to Taoist
cosmology, the two most
fundamental forms of qi
are Yin-qi and Yang-qi --
the primordial feminine
and masculine energies.
In its broadest sense, qi
can be thought of as
the vibratory nature of
reality:

how at the atomic level,
all of manifest existence
is energy – an intelligent,
luminous “emptiness”
appearing as this form
and then that, like waves
rising from and then
dissolving back into the
ocean.

What Are The Kinds Of
Qi Used In Chinese
Medicine?:
The word “qi” is used in
special ways by the  
practitioners of
acupuncture and
Chinese herbal medicine.

They have identified
various kinds of qi that
function within the human
body.
In this context, qi is one
part of the Qi/Blood/Body-
Fluids trinity of
substances fundamental
to the body’s internal
functioning.
Of the three, Qi is
attributed to yang,
because it is mobile and
has the job of moving
and warming things.

Blood and Body Fluids,
on the other hand, are
attributed to yin, because
they are less mobile, and
have the job of
nourishing and
moistening things.
