blood and qi

[vamos]

apart from gaurdian qi can qi move through blood or does it have to travel with blood?i.e.jump/move/pass through.....?

every single cell in the body has a measure of an electromagnetic field...what do you think?

[vamos]

i think it can but i wanted confirmation.

how could the ancient doctors have TCM about all the diiferent types of qi?forming from food,liquid..?they must have had deep meditative skills to have felt this?

but this was before buddism was introduced to china...
pretty sure nei dan was around long before A.D. 58...

TCM is unfathomably deep...many an exemplary cultivator has put forth great effort to contribute towards the body of knowledge over the generations.

Remember, they were simply explaining real phenomena - which is why certain aspects of TCM dont really correlate to the dissected western paradigm. They didnt have much of an understanding of electromagnetism, but could place the phenomena within the qi-paradigm.
