The concept that sickness and disease arise out of imbalances in a
vital energy field (here, qi) is part of some other CAM therapies, such
as Reiki (in which the energy field is called ki) and homeopathy (vital
force). Within CAM, tai chi is a type of mind-body medicine (one of the
four domains, or areas of knowledge, in CAM). Generally,
mind-body medicine focuses on:
- The interactions among the brain, the rest of the body, the mind,
and behavior.
- The ways in which emotional, mental, social, spiritual, and
behavioral factors can directly affect health.
