Qi (pronounced /tʃiː/ CHEE; from the Chinese word qi; traditional Chinese: 氣) is an open interface standard that defines wireless power transfer using inductive charging over distances of up to 4 cm (1.6 inches), developed by the Wireless Power Consortium.

Yes, Qi can be measured, according to his argument, but he is assuming that Qi is only Qi when it performs the role of apparently healing in a medical and technical sense. Qi, that which defies definition, is a concept of Eastern philosophy. In this thinking, to narrowly define Qi is considered unnecessary.

With roots in Chinese medicine, philosophy, and martial arts, qigong is traditionally viewed by the Chinese and throughout Asia as a practice to cultivate and balance qi (pronounced approximately as “chi”), translated as “life energy”.

Based on Chinese medicine, meridian points are thought of as areas of the body energy flows through. These pathways help balance energy flow to maintain your health. Any imbalance can influence disease or sickness. Acupuncture uses needles to apply pressure to these energy points.

In traditional Chinese medicine, meridians are channels that form a network in the body, through which qi (vital energy) flows. The flow of qi is restored by using pressure, needles, suction, or heat at hundreds of specific points along the meridians.

In TCM, meridians are strings connecting acupuncture points, which are considered as passageways through which energy flows throughout the body [1, 2]. The meridian system is composed of 12 principal meridians, each of which connects to an organ system and extends to an extremity and eight collaterals [1–4].

Based on this daily circuit, the 12 meridians are paired according to two different criteria: the Yin–Yang (or Solid-Hollow; see below) reciprocity of the corresponding organs and the notion that two successive meridians of the same nature, Yin or Yang (or Solid or Hollow), in the arm and in the leg form a Yin or Yang …

The Liver Meridian originates at the lateral aspect of the big toe at Liv-1 Dadun Large Pile, and follows the dorsum of the foot to Liv-4 Zhongfeng Mound Center, anterior to the medial malleolus.

Acupuncture, one of the primary methods of treatment in traditional Oriental medicine, is based on a system of meridians. Along the meridians lie acupuncture points or acupoints, which are stimulated by needling, pressure or heat to resolve a clinical problem.

The simplest definition is that a meridian is an energetic highway in the human body. Meridians allow for the flow of energy, known as Qi (pronounced “chee”), to circulate throughout the body. Meridians exist in corresponding pairs and each meridian has multiple acupuncture points along the pathway.

A (geographic) meridian (or line of longitude) is the half of an imaginary great circle on the Earth’s surface, a coordinate line terminated by the North Pole and the South Pole, connecting points of equal longitude, as measured in angular degrees east or west of the Prime Meridian.
