China Healthcare
As I will state later, Chi represents a form of energy that you could develop to improve a healthy life. In this video, there are various forms in China that is related to healthcare and make the body become healthier for whatever disease or physical ailment that is needed for remedy. Also, this also helps maintain for good strength and harness/balance chi.

Tai Chi
Of the various forms to improve chi, today a famous form is called tai chi. Tai chi represents simplicity and tranquility. It also represents a form to harness energy. Japanese ki is very important in understanding yourself and if you find peace within yourself, you find the balance of energy within yourself as well. Since it is used everyday to express any type of emotion or feeling, having harmony with yourself brings about a calm and healthy person. In this video there are various pictures of beautiful landscapes with quiet and peaceful music to reflect on to focus on yourself, a meditation song of some sort to search the energy within yourself. THE CHI.




















Dragon Ball Z
Chi is so important in both of these cultures especially in Japan. Japan is renowned for their cartoons and drawing. They even show a form of chi in a popular cartoon series called "Dragon Ball Z" to show how ki is much apart of their lives. In this video, the energy around the person represents they ki or energy the person contains. Although this is not real, it portrays your chi and focus on it you can become stronger. In reality, I believe this helps being strong minded but not actually change physically like this cartoon. But fictionally, shows how Ki is very much alive in everyones inner being.


Ki, Chi
There are differences between Japnese Ki and Chinese Chi but both represent it involvement of energy and improvement of life in both cultures.

Chinese Chi

Qi or often spelled Ch'i is a fundamental concept of traditional Chinese culture. It is believed to be apart of every living thing that exists as a kind of "life force" or spiritual energy. It is frequently translated as energy flow or literally as air or breath. The etymological meaning of the qi ideogram in its traditional form qi is "qi steam rising from rice as it cooks" (source: Wenlin dictionary), which could be interpreted as the indicating link between matter and the energy it develops. Matter and energy are said merely to be different states of the same fundamental substance. Even for Chinese medicinal purposes do people believe that can give you good natural chi. Some of these techniques include herbal medicines, special diets, physical training regimens (qigong), massages to clear blockages, and acupuncture, which uses fine metal needles inserted into the skin to reroute or balance qi. When the Chi runs throughout the body very strongly, the body is at its best and most efficient. When it is weak, or the meridien lines are blocked at certain points, then the body sickens. The body should be in perfect equilibrium - yin and yang, a balance of aggressive or outward forces, and passive or inward ones.

Japanese Ki
- LIFE AND ENERGY
Ki is the energy that resides in all livings, both plants and animals, and is fundamental to sustaining life. In Japanese language today, the word ki or "kai" is ordinarily used as an expression of weather change, an activity of the body and soul, and a natural phenomenon. Ki as an ordinary word is often used for something intangible, like ESP when it has paranormal meaning. In daily life it means something like feeling , sentiment, emotions, ideas, and motivation. That is why to understand Ki is very important in the sense that it is a process of understanding one's own life and understanding ourselves. In finding one's own inner space of calm in a frenzied, stressful world, one can then be capable of connecting to others in a compassionate, authentic way that enriches life and nourishes the spirit.
