I thought it might be helpful to gather together some commonly used words when speaking about Energy and Energy medicine and lay out some broad definitions and meanings.
QI/ENERGY
Possibly not surprisingly, “Qi” as well as “Energy” are pointed out more than a hundred times throughout the book. Chinese ideology assumes that a vital force, what is called qi, borders as well as training courses through our bodies to support life. It holds the body’s inherent intelligence, the intangible yet measurable method we maintain what’s called “homeostasis,” or the body’s capability to control its internal setting to create good health. Yet qi is also understood to be part of a larger pattern, a grand power area– something so large that it attaches everybody.
MERIDIANS
Wondering exactly how qi runs through your body? Meridians. Consider them as a network that looks a little bit like the New York City subway map. Like the metro, various paths overlap and interconnect– making them vital to the network as a whole. Standard Chinese medicine believes there is deep interconnectedness in between all facets of our being both inside and also on the surface.
FASCIA
Your fascia is connective cells that can be found anywhere in our bodies. It underpins our skin; and also connects, maintains, encloses, and divides muscles and other inner body organs. It likewise performs electricity and, it is thought, is the avenue for electrical energy, or qi, as it takes a trip throughout our bodies.
CHAKRAS
Chakras are a principle from India (the word implies wheel in Sanskrit) and meridians are a principle from Chinese medicine, which refer to the networks that power streams via.
What’s intriguing is that if you overlay a map of the meridians over a map of the fascial airplanes, they align.( Something I enter into much even more in my new publication, Power Medicine) This may mean that power relocating through the meridians is transferred through the fascia.
I frequently think about chakras as the areas where we connect to the greater energy field ( and also as a result to each various other), allowing energy in and out. The Meridians are what move the power throughout our bodies, and when incorporated they make a total system,
YIN/YANG
Yin as well as Yang are both various facets of Qi, our life-force. Yin refers the functions of the body that are beneficial and cooling and also yang refers to the ones that are triggering as well as heating. They are constantly in vibrant balance as our interior landscape adjustments as well as we are at our happiest as well as healthiest when our Yin + Yang are working together harmoniously.
NO POINT FIELD/ THE TAO
Visualize you are on a coastline viewing 2 pebbles rolling in unison as they are buffeted by waves. If you really did not recognize the function of the ocean in making them move, you would certainly be forgiven for assuming that one stone was interacting with the other. The ocean, in this case, would be the no factor field (ZPF), the unseen area created by the exchange of power in between subatomic particles. The ZPF advises me of the Tao,, which is stated to be so boundless it defies description and also is the all-natural order of deep space as well as the container for all of our experiences as people.
VIBRATION
Defined extensively, vibration is when one object vibrates at the very same natural frequency of a 2nd things, thus increasing the amplitude and also forcing the second item into vibrational motion. It is the factor the a glass of wine glass shatters when the diva strikes an astonishingly high note. As you’ll find out in the book vibration plays a crucial role in the means recovery info is sent from a healer to their client.
