The most fundamental Qi in human life is the Original Qi (Yuan Qi). Li Dong-Yuan (also known as Li Guo, 1180-1252 A.D.), in the discussion that introduces the original version of Arouse Vigor, points out that a person’s capacity and desire to engage in activity, to transform to a new state of being, to adapt in relationship to the environment and to be imbued with feelings are all dependent on this Original Qi (Discussion of the Spleen and Stomach, section 2, 1249 A.D.). The Original Qi activates, maintains and gives intention to the entire personality. To nourish this generative source of so many dimensions of human life, Li Dong-Yuan created “Benefit the Middle and Boost the Qi” (Bu Zhong Yi Qi Tang).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe original name for Arouse Vigor, “Benefit the Middle and Boost the Qi,” refers to the “Middle” and the “Qi.” The famous Ming Dynasty scholar, Wu Kun, commenting on this name said, “The Middle is the Spleen, the feminine, the mother of the ten thousand phenomena. Qi is the Yang, the masculine, the father of the ten thousand phenomena...” (Verified Medical Prescriptions, section 20, 1584 A.D.).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLi Dong-Yuan is renowned for emphasizing the central role of Spleen-Stomach Qi. In his dramatic style he states: “All five solid organs (Wu Zang) belong to the Stomach and all disharmony comes from its deficiency.” This Spleen-Stomach Qi, he says, is identical to the “Original Qi” and “is the pivot of the ascent and descent of the Yang and Yin.” The Original Qi facilitates “the clear Yang Qi’s ascent . . . the turbid Qi’s descent and regulates the nine orifices” (the two eyes, two ears, two nasal passages, mouth, anus and urethra). No human activity, behavior, sensation or thought is separate from Qi’s vigor.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePHYSICAL INDICATIONS\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBecause the Original Qi is so central to life, its disruption can generate a myriad of patterns.

It is a down-to-earth energy: stable, honest, with a willingness to embrace self and others. When this transforming ability is obstructed, the Spleen can easily become stuck in a receiving mode, without the capacity to transmute; this over-accumulation is often described as “Dampness.” One then tends to become overly self-conscious and unable to make a move that risks exposure. One may ruminate over endless possibilities or obsess over ideas, often developing a mental flabbiness or dullness that inhibits the possibility of constructive movement. Numerous options, rather than serving as possibilities for growth, become a cause of indecision and lack of clarity, nurturing capacities become an excuse for being a victim, dependability becomes an inability to discern or think critically and stability becomes stagnation.
