Qi (pronounced “chee”) is a Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) term that encompasses all the vital energy within a living organism. Qi runs throughout our bodies similar to the pathways of nerve signal networks and circulatory blood vessels. When the free flow of qi becomes coarse or stagnant, physical and mental ailments that produce pain or discomfort begin to manifest. At illuminate qi, we work on regulating the qi so it can adapt and self-correct with a redirection towards optimal health.
