Week 6

*Are all vibrations “good”?
I don't think so. Sometimes it makes me annoying.


*Resonance in my world.
Since I came here that I have been wondered why I could not share something with who speaks Japanese. We could understand well each other under using same language however sometimes difficult to get a resonance . While I talk to somebody who speaks English even using my poorly English skill that I am able to share same feeling with my friends. I think that is a resonance in my world.




*Connections I can make between Energy and Qi(気=Ki).

I checked translation of "Qi" using my dictionary . It says Mind,Disposition,Nature,Intention and Feeling. Only one word but it has many meaning in Japanese (Of course not only japanese also Chinese too ).Generally "Energy" is used more mechanical meaning . But still we use often" physical Energy" equal "power of Qi".

After finished last class I was surprised that I have been using many words
which has "Qi" in Japanese. I will try to translate in English. I am not sure it is appropriate translation. For instance ....


word and Japanese pronunciation
:weather is a 天気 ~     *ten+(ki=Qi) 
:climate is a 気候 ~      *(ki=Qi)+kou
:feeling is a 気分、気持ち~       *(ki=Qi)+bun,(ki=Qi)+mochi
:air is a 空気 ~    *ku-u+(ki=Qi)
:pastime is a 気晴らし~    *(ki=Qi)+bara+si
:serious is a 本気  ~   * hon+(ki=Qi)     
:depression is a 意気消沈~*   i+(ki=Qi)+shou+chin
:atmosphere is a 雰囲気~* fun+i+(ki=Qi) ......etc

I think eastern words are originate from nature therefore those words are included in "Qi".
