What is Qi?

Qi, which is pronounced chi, is a concept from Chinese folklore where it is seen as a form of energy. Sometimes Qi is translated to 'life energy'. According to this folklore Qi circulates in and outside people's body and moves itself forward in so called meridians which are considered to be 'roads' in the body.

Qi is a central concept in Chinese medicine, Qigong, acupuncture and acupressure.

The Chinese sign for Qi symbolises rice and steam. The boiling rice is Asia's best known symbol for life. Rice cannot be eaten without first being boiled. When it has been given energy, it can give out energy, which is the same as Qi.

Qi must always flow, Qi is in permanent change, like life, Qi is the condition for life.

What makes the Qi-mat special?

The Qi-mat? contains 250 pieces of octagon shaped flowers. Each plastic flower contains 32 spikes. That gives you 8000 acupressure points. These spiked flowers are placed in a geometric pattern that stimulates the body's acupressure points and, according to Chinese folklore, increases the flow of Qi.

The figure 8, as in the mat's 8000 spikes and the spiked octagon shaped flowers is a number of luck for Chinese people. It stands for luck, prosperity and economic success.

The beautiful symbol on the back of the mat is called Shou and symbolises long life.
