PHYSICS OF QI

Energy has many forms. It can be stored as a chemical, like in a battery. It can flow as electricity. It can flow as superconductive or superfluidic substances. The chemical form of energy is a more dense manifestation of energy. Electricity and sound waves that carry energy are less dense manifestations. The superconductive or superfluid forms are a subtle manifestation of energy. From an Oriental medicine perspective, the chemical would correspond to jing (essence), electricity would correspond to qi, superconduction and superfluidity would correspond to universal qi. Superconduction and superfluidity also correspond to shen, which is consciousness.

Light is also a form of energy. Qi light is like that from a light bulb. Shen light is like that from a laser and has holographic properties. Sound is another form of energy. Qi sound is nonpure and dissipates as heat. Shen sound is pure, holographic, and nondissapative. Jing is of a gross form, qi is of a less gross form, and shen is of a subtle form. Oriental medicine refers to jing, qi, and shen as the “three treasures.” The three treasures are what the ancient Chinese thought of as the energies that constitute life.

In this essay we will look at the properties of these different forms of energy.

MERIDIANS

The meridians can be thought of as lines that flow through the body, forming a circuit. A meridian can have energy manifest in it in different forms. When the meridian circuit is not fully connected, ions will be stored up in it, moving sluggishly or not at all. This is a more dense form of energy. When the meridian circuit is connected, ions will flow along it, a clump of them taking 24 hours to circulate around the whole meridian circuit. This is one form of qi.

When the meridian circuit is connected, the ions may be propelled into a superconductive state. People thus superconducting can feel surges of this type of electricity moving through their body. This corresponds to the yoga concept of kundalini energy.ENERGY FLOW

When one is doing healing work, one may channel different types of energy into the body of the person to be healed. Channeling qi requires the healer to direct the qi, through conscious intention plus focus on the individual to be healed, or on a particular aspect within that individual. Qi as electricity flows from positive to negative. Because electricity encounters resistance (that’s why wires can heat up), this qi requires an expenditure of energy from the healer.

Channeling universal qi does not require the healer to direct the qi as much. The universal qi has its own intelligence and moves around in the body to precisely where it is most needed, and in the precise order of priority of needs. This universal qi has superfluid and superconductive properties.
