In Traditional Chinese Medicine, Qi is believed to be the essence that gives the world, and the individual body, life. Qi moves blood through the body and energises the organs. This energy is derived partly from our genetic make-up, partly from our breathing, and partly from the food we eat. Signs of deficiency are believed to be fatigue, shortness of breath, weak pulse and a pale tongue.

Means life force. It's one of the most popular word in Scrabble as it uses a Q without a U!

it is the circulating life energy that in Chinese philosophy is thought to be present in all things; in traditional Chinese medicine the balance of negative and positive forms in the body is believed to be essential for good health

Apparently it's a variant of the word chi.

Alternate spelling of chi, isn't it?
In some philosophies, it's a person's life-engergy thingy.

It is the chinese word for "life-energy", pronounced "chi"
You see this concept in martial arts movies sometimes.
