IQ or “intelligence quotient” is a measure of a person’s intelligence based on a series of standardized questions. This test can be used to better understand a student’s performance in school or to determine their intellectual potential. But can a test accurately reflect a person’s potential?
In the eyes of TCM, we determine potential from a different lens. Potential is based on Qi, the energetic life force that lives and moves in and around each of us. Your IQ is therefore not a measure of your intelligence; rather your own awareness of your Inner Qi. How do you connect to the Universal energy source? Have you reached your healing potential – your life potential?
Qigong is a powerful energy practice that allows us to connect with our IQ, our inner Qi. Through this practice we awaken our innate healing abilities and allow our Qi to move freely through our meridian system. When Qi flows freely, disease has no place to live.
From this perspective, both your IQ and your potential are unlimited.
