Topic: Qigong Exercise Based on the Tripartite View of Form, Qi, and Shen in Life
Content Summary: Chinese Medicine believes that human life is composed of three elements: body, Qi, and mind. “Body” refers to the morphological organization of the body; “Qi” refers to the non-substantial field-like substance that fills the body and its surroundings; “mind” refers to one’s spiritual consciousness. These three elements constitute the essential components of human life, and they are integrated and inseparable. Qigong exercise involves the cultivation and regulation of these three elements of human life, bringing them into a tripartite unity. Understanding qigong from the perspective of the tripartite view of body, Qi, and mind in life can better grasp the essence of qigong exercise and effectively guide its practice.
