What causes Qi to get stuck?
Physical or emotional trauma, stress, lack of exercise, overexertion, poor diet, repetitive strain, excessive activity, seasonal changes, or a weak constitution can all lead to imbalances that disrupt the normal flow of Qi. Under normal circumstances when a disruption occurs, you will easily bounce back, returning to balanced, good health. But when the disruption to Qi is prolonged or excessive, or if your body is at a weakened state, illness, pain, and disease can set in.
