Qi, also known as chi, is a fundamental concept in traditional Chinese culture, referring to the vital life force that flows through all living things. It is a central principle in traditional Chinese medicine and martial arts.1

In the context of psychic research, the concept of qi is closely linked to the practice of qigong and the belief in Extraordinary Human Body Function (EHBF). It is believed that by cultivating and mastering the flow of qi, individuals can unlock paranormal abilities such as ESP and Psychokinesis.1
