The Circulatory function of Qi is the most important for your health, because it is the easiest to assess. The more Qi stagnation develops, the more pain, fatigue, and depression can occur. For both patients and clinicians, the urgency is to find out why. For example, Liver Qi Stagnation affects the movement of your blood, bile, enzymatic transformation (a function of Qi), and every nutrient getting where it needs to go. If your Liver Qi is stuck, your emotional adaptability can also become disoriented. This directs everyone’s focus to the Liver (of TCM) but may distract us from a whole-body stagnation that is waiting for something essential to change. Qi needs to move, but Qi cannot move alone.

The question, for both Qi skeptics and Qi enthusiasts, can a person’s Qi become more radiant? Today, I would like to prove that both are true. Qi needs to function as circulation and as a warming and activating ‘glow’. It turns out, this kind of measurable radiance can be cultivated in the most common-sense way imaginable.
