In this podcast, we dive deep into the world of Qi patterns - the fundamental building blocks of Traditional Chinese Medicine. Whether you're just starting your TCM studies or looking to refresh your knowledge, this episode gives you a clear perspective on how Qi behaves in health and disease.
Qi Deficiency - Why modern people, despite abundance, still experience energy shortages, and how this differs from the historical famine-related Qi deficiency described in classical texts.
Sinking Spleen Qi - From that sagging feeling in your lower abdomen to organ prolapse - discover how the spleen loses its "uplifting power."
Qi Stagnation - That annoying tension between your shoulder blades after a stressful day? That's Liver Qi stagnation! We discuss how emotions can literally block your energy.
Rebellious Qi - When your body works against you: from burping and hiccups to coughing and headaches - everything stems from Qi going the wrong direction.
This podcast makes complex TCM theory understandable through everyday examples. From the traffic jam analogy for Qi stagnation to the car-without-gas metaphor for deficiency patterns - you get practical insights you can immediately apply in your studies or practice.
Perfect for TCM students wanting to strengthen their foundation or experienced therapists looking to refresh their knowledge. After this podcast, you'll understand why some people are tired from eating too little, and others from eating too much!
