In Chinese philosophy, the life force or vital energy believed to flow through all living things.
From Chinese qì (氣) meaning 'air, breath, vital energy'. The concept dates back over 2,000 years in Chinese medicine and philosophy, entering English through various transliteration systems in the 20th century.
Chi represents one of humanity's most enduring attempts to explain the mysterious force that animates living beings.
