Qi literally translates as "breath", "air" or "gas", and figuratively as "material energy", "life force" or "energy flow". The nearest Western equivalent to qi energy is inspiration. But there is a decisive difference between Eastern and Western attitudes. Westerners tend to regard this sweet spiritual inebriation as something that either fills us or deserts us, completely out of our control. In the Eastern mind, though, this is something that you can control. You can awaken, stimulate, increase and utilize the qi energy, according to your will.
