The quality of our lives is directly dependent of the quality of our energy. This energy is the foundation of life and affects how we work, play, exercise, eat, digest, and do literally everything, from thinking, to moving, to breathing. This energy can be called life-force, vitality, or Qi, and it is our physical, emotional, mental and spiritual fuel. Energy allows our consciousness to inhabit and animate our bodies. Without it we’re quite literally dead. If we are constantly feeling less than vibrant and healthy, then we aren’t getting the most out of our lives, and living up to our full potential. To have a great life, we need to feel that we are powerful, and have the energy to accomplish our goals. To increase our sense of well-being, we need to cultivate our life-force energy, or Qi, balance the inner forces, and connect with our spirit.
