Qi is no longer a strange word to many in the West, thanks to people like Dr. David Eisenberg. His book, titled “Encounters With Qi,” describes his experience as the first American physician allowed to visit China after President Nixon’s efforts to open communication between the United States and China.

Bill Moyer’s TV series exploring healing arts in the East has also contributed to Western awareness of the concept of qi.
