A couple of weeks ago I was feeling very down. The thought of going to the office and facing another day of work made me nervous and jittery, almost panicky: I just wanted to hide.
My brother, a qi gong devotee, once told me that people who treat illnesses, for example doctors, can accumulate negative qi (energy) and become sick because they are exposed to so much negative qi from their patients. I wonder if this can happen to any of us? When we are subjected to negative feelings and situations, can tensions build within us, cause blockages or imbalances in our pranic flow, and result in “dis-ease”?
