The term "Qi Yuan" refers to the source or origin of Qi, which can be interpreted as the source of energy. "Qi Yuan" conveys the meaning of gathering and restoring inner energy, as well as a calm atmosphere in the meditation and healing space. Qi is a formless, metaphysical existence, a word used by Taoists. "Qi" also emphasises an innate quality, an energy that runs through the universe between the tangible and the intangible, one that can be used to nourish body, mind and soul.
