  1. This looks really good! Deng Ming-Dao is offering a free six part Zoom series on Qi. Qi (chi, 氣) has been defined as breath, lifeforce, or energy. For anyone interested in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), healing, meditation, qigong, or Taijiquan, it can take years to understand and cultivate qi. So it’s important to learn from the tradition that was established by healers, martial artists, and meditators over thousands of years. The Circle of Qi is a simple idea: we are in exchange with the world; we circulate energy; and our bodies, minds, spirits, and the cosmos are all linked in a circle of qi. The series will take place biweekly on Thursday evenings. 1.
