Is it bỏ ra or qi?

Both terms have been used to describe this undercurrent force và while they are technically interchangeable, they vary slightly based on its cultural origin. “ qi in Chinese medicine or prana in ayurvedic, yogic tradition,” says Annie McDonnell, LAc, of New York’s Joy Alchemy Acupuncture.

She says it’s also possible khổng lồ have excess qi as a result of environmental toxins like polluted air or waiter, or from too much physical activity, stress, negative emotion, or overeating.

What’s the right way khổng lồ balance qi?

Luckily, there are ways of getting a little more centered. Patel recommends trying mind-body techniques và practices such as tai chi, qigong, yoga, meditation, reiki, or a massage. The best thing you can do, Patel says, is to lớn prioritize sleep lớn avoid getting tired.
