About Universal Qi

Universal Qi is an educational resource for those interested in understanding East Asian Medicine more deeply. The site explores early Chinese philosophy, medical theory, etymology, symbolism, and the translation and commentary of classical texts.

A central aim of the project is to bring academic study into dialogue with embodied experience. By integrating scholarly research with insights drawn from clinical practice, the site seeks to clarify concepts that are often ambiguous or mistranslated when approached through language alone.
