Abstract
Qi-energy concerns with 3 regions, i. e., mind, body and material environment. In the psychological region, qi-energy relates to various emotions in the unconscious, and propagates its influences on the whole body. Meditative training of qi stabilizes the emotions by activating the endcrine system or others. Then, masculinity and femininity in the mind develop and mature personality is formed. As to the view of body, we ought to pay attention to the relation between emotions and meridians. Waves of qi-energy transmit the emotions to the whole body throughtout the meridian system. So, we can see the human body as the holistic resonant system of the unificated mind-matter energy. So, we can say that qi is the fundamental energy which maintains the health of body, and also develops the harmonized personality in human relations.
