After 30 years of practicing Acupuncture, I would like to share some insights about ‘stuck Qi.’

Qi Stagnation can cause poor circulation or is due to poor circulation. The Circulatory function of Qi is the most important for your health, because it is the easiest to assess. The more Qi stagnation develops, the more pain, fatigue, and depression can occur. For both patients and clinicians, the urgency is to find out why.

For example, Liver Qi Stagnation affects the movement of your blood, bile, enzymatic transformation (a function of Qi), and every nutrient getting where it needs to go. If your Liver Qi is stuck, your emotional adaptability can also become disoriented. This directs everyone’s focus to the Liver (of TCM) but may distract us from a whole-body stagnation that is waiting for something essential to change.

Qi needs to move, but Qi cannot move alone.

There is another aspect of Qi that brings up images of someone glowing in the dark, or radiating some kind of energy, or spiritual light. Which all animals do, in a way. The question, for both Qi skeptics and Qi enthusiasts, can a person’s Qi become more radiant?

Today, I would like to prove that both are true. Qi needs to function as circulation and as a warming and activating ‘glow’. It turns out, this kind of measurable radiance can be cultivated in the most common-sense way imaginable.

But your Qi is waiting for something…

It seems like a good idea to begin this conversation by asking, did human beings ever have inner peace?

Every spiritual tradition and culture that I've ever had a chance to encounter deeply, all have an origin story. If it’s the garden of Eden - or at the beach near the ocean during the last ice age, or coming from some primordial world beneath this world.

What is it that is lost with this descriptive imagination of our loss of innocence?

A recurring context in many ancient and mostly indigenous traditions, is a distinction between cultivating resources or power or medicine for your people, including yourself, your family, your extended family, and those who are in need,

And/or cultivating resources power or medicine in a way that is over or against others.

Imagine a life of collaboration, reciprocity, service, belonging, recognition, respect and opportunities to both learn and eventually lead.

There is an innocence there because all that is asked is to show up, be present. Be generous, be generative. Be relational.

Or, to simply commit your existence, and everything you are for your people.

Accepting others in every way you would wish to be accepted as yourself.
