Logical Explanation for QI (Chi) & Ki in Acupuncture and Reiki


Introduction
                Upto seventeenth century all cultures and traditions around the world knew that living bodies were different from inanimate object, because of the presence of an energy which they named QI (Chi), Prana, Vata, Vital energy, Elan energy etc (in the living ‘objects’). In eighteenth century mechanical materialism became dominant in the philosophical and scientific fields. As a result the ‘vitalism’ was rejected and the half baked science of that era declared that the living being has ‘life’ only because the nerve cells (neurons) and the cells in the S.A Node of Heart generate electricity by chemical actions and with help of this electricity; neuro communication, pulsation of heart, breathing, functioning of brain/mind etc become possible.

                Because of the development of modern physics the time has become ripe for the revival of concept of Qi or Vital energy on the basis of Dialectical and Holistic Philosophies.
                In the Chinese zoology, culture and medicine there was the knowledge of the energy which flows through living body continuously. It shall be present through its life. It was called QI (Chi) or Vital motivating force behind all its functions. A part of this energy is considered to be coming from ‘heaven’ and the other parts from water and food. The heaven can be defined as the space. We know that space is not vacuum but filled with electromagnetic waves coming from sun stars and cosmos and also from moon and planets (indirectly). These Electomagnetic waves such as micro waves and infrared waves are absorbed by the living bodies-mostly through Filum terminale. (The extra meridian (i) ‘Vital Channel’ which contol Qi or Vital energy of the whole body was considered to be starting from uterus in the pelvis represented by Ren1. Coccyx and Sacrum were connected to this channel.) The E.M. Waves absorbed through filum terminale then spreads to the spinal cord and brain. From brain this vital energy flows downwards to heart, intenstines, lungs and all other organs (sensory and motor) through different nerve channels. These nerve channel were called meridians. Meridians and LUO connections conducts or radiates the Qi are E.M.Waves similar to optical fiber cables. Qi was divided to Yin and Yang. Yin is the electro magnetic or photonic radiations of particular frequencies which are comparatively cool. Yang is the Photonic waves of some other frequencies which are comparatively hot (That is why Yin is represented by night, moon, dark, inactive etc and Yang is represented by day, sun, bright light, active etc)
                The immunity of the living body against bacteria, virus etc is contribution of ‘protecting Qi’, Vital energy or Vital radiations (reaching all parts of the living body through the whole nervous system). This is accomplished by creating more warmth or fever. (We know that if there are obstructions for the flow of E.M. wave rising of temperature shall follow)
                The nerve channel connecting central nervous system with the organs such as heart, lungs intestines etc were named shapu sabo Yin, Hsin Ching etc. (In the modern zoology this channel is called vagus nerve)
                We know that the whole nervous system is interconnected with each other. Any stimulation given to a particular important part of this channel in the surface of the body can influence inner parts and related parts of other channels through variations in the frequency of photonic flow. The delicate needles utilized in the acupuncture medicine are acting as an antenna and receive E.M. Waves (in the atmosphere) and then conduct it into the nerve channels or meridians; which give the therapeutic effect.
                Now we can conclude that the concepts Qi et are not ‘difficult to reconcile with contemporary scientific knowledge systems (Please remember the consensus statement of National Institute of Health-U.S.A that “it (Qi) is difficult reconcile with contemporary bio medical informations”).
                The founder of Reiki system also was aware of the relation between Universal energy and life energy.
