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.
The first time you are about to use the Qi-mat™ put it on a soft place, for example your bed or a sofa. Then lay down carefully on your back.
As you are getting used to the Qi-mat™, you may find it helpful to put a t-shirt or a thin fabric over the mat. Place a cushion under your head to make yourself more comfortable.
For the first few minutes you may experience a burning sensation which will then turn into a comfortable feeling as the circulation of the blood increases.
When starting to use the Qi-mat™ we suggest you lie on it for around 10 minutes to see how your body reacts to the mat. When you feel comfortable you can gradually increase the time you use the Qi-mat™ during the next two weeks until you reach approximately 20-45 minutes. Should you fall asleep it’s fine to lie on it for longer.
Some people use the mat everyday while others just a few times a week, it is your choice. Pay attention to your body’s responses and adjust your usage accordingly.
After using the Qi-mat™, you should drink a glass of water in order to help the body recover. You should also let your body get some rest after using the mat.
