"It is important to cultivate your Qi to maintain a healthy body. As humans, we already have the ability to heal ourselves and this can be further amplified by cultivating the Qi from the universe. In modern times we absolutely need to cultivate our Qi, mainly because all of the stress and strain of modern living is not being released and it is instead kept within the body. Over time, this creates what I like to think of as a 'time-bomb' and the body will no longer be able to take it and it will consequently react with high blood pressure, strokes, heart attacks and many other health problems. This can all be prevented by firstly maintaining good circulation, as this will let the Qi flow round the body. By cultivating your Qi you are working on a prevention of a disease rather than just treating the symptoms like modern drugs and medicine do."
