Tcm Quotes

“No matter how pure the quality of our "food," if it emanates from a fanatical, one-sided mental viewpoint, it will reflect the limitations of a thought process that perpetuates the underlying sickness of our emotional and spiritual being. An individual who is unable to achieve a balance of physical exercise, creative expression, and introspective soulful enjoyment will find it difficult to achieve a healing balance with food alone. [...] Fanatical adherence to anything, especially regarding diet, can become its own disease.”

“Qi is the Chinese word for "life energy". According to Chinese medicine, qi is the animating power that flows through all living things. A living being is filled with it. A dead person has no more qi. A healthy individual has more qi than one who is ill. However health is more than an abundance of qi. Health implies that the qi in our bodies is clear, rather than polluted and turbid, and flowing smoothly, liek a stream, not blocked or stagnant.”

“When filled with qi, the body is like a tree branch filled with sap; it can bend and flow with the breeze, but it does not snap or lose its connection with the root. On the other hand, a stiff, dead branch is easily broken. Thus the adage of Lao Zi, "Concentrate the qi and you will achieve the utmost suppleness... Suppleness is the essence of life.”
