When i ask if we are trying to gather as much chi as we can in the body in qigong some of the replies i get are thats not the case and we are trying
to be able to move the chi better in the body and merge with outside chi better
... is there any importance to getting more chi in the body ? why some talk about gathering chi from food and consuming food with a lot of chi ? and not food with little chi ?
