Do you believe in chi?
Ah, now there's a question.... The debate is never ending, but in amongst the kerfuffle we seem to forget a fundamental question:
What is chi?
The discussions are usually based on the idea that chi is some kind of Jedi-like mystical force with which to strike down opponents without touching them! (Don't try it at home kids...)
But here's a thought-provoking article and I do suggest you read it regardless of your stance on chi.

Qi is NOT a code word for biomechanics!
:D
There are other meanings I've seen. Qi is....
Animation
Vitality
Energy
The presence of life
Now these definitions would start to raise my interest.
As someone who has been attuned to Reiki (level 2) qi is something I experience all the time, and put to practical use.
If someone said that qi is "energy flowing with intention" then I would certainly agree with that one.
It all boils down to the fundamental question "what is qi?" Only then can an individual test it with their belief system.
I still don't buy into circus tricks and snake oil salesmen though!!
same here....
