Qi

Qi (also chi) is the traditional Chinese concept of a vital life force flowing through living things, central to Chinese medicine and martial arts, and invoked by Chinese parapsychology researchers in the EHBF programs as the mechanism underlying paranormal phenomena.

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
