Excellent post that bridges ancient wisdom and modern life. This concept aligns perfectly with the foundational Tai Chi principle of 'Sinking the Qi to the Dantian.' When we speak while eating or walking, we are doing the exact opposite—causing the Qi to float upwards and scatter.

This is why our Zhan Zhuang (standing meditation) practice emphasizes quiet, deep breathing and a calm mind; it's the ultimate practice in gathering and consolidating our Qi instead of breaking it. It's fascinating to see the same principle reflected in dietary advice within TCM.
