  • Chi is considered a vivifying force contained in (and circulating through) all natural phenomenon and life forms.

  • Chi is usually translated as 'energy,' which is useful but not quite accurate.

  • The Chinese character for Chi has two components: lower - 'rice' and upper - 'vapor.'

  • This character identifies Chi as the finest material quality still available to human perception.
