ChiQiGuy Posted January 20, 2023 I'm coming here finally after many years of considering. I got into meditation sometime in 2012 and have been pursuing spiritual growth ever since. Very interested in internal alchemy. I hope I can find a space here and be able to learn with you all. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Cobie Posted January 20, 2023 (edited) Hi breatharian guy. “ChiQi” may be some important neidan term (I wouldn’t know), but it looks like 吃氣 chi1 qi4 (eat air) to me. Anyway, welcome to the forum. Great intro, sounds like you will fit right in. Enjoy. Edited January 20, 2023 by Cobie Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I usually come up with very bland boring names and was quite pleased with this one. EDIT: Adding that chi (Chee) and qi (ky) are what I have understood to be the energetic blood or streams of the body. That was really all I had going behind it.

I thought chi and qi are merely different romanisations for the same 氣 . @ChiDragon might be kind enough to elucidate.

Thanks 😁. I tend to read a lot of stuff so recalling the finer details on what words mean what or where what originates from where gets lost on me. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
