Ki, is it real or ?

Ki is a cosmic energy the Japanese, as well as other Asian cultures, believe to be the animator of life. They, to their thinking and belief system, proved its existence some 2,000 years ago in such practices as acupuncture and in martial arts. They believe, as I do, that there is an energy that runs through our bodies.

Ki is a cosmic energy and sometimes infers the mind, spirit or cosmic breath. Ki is an intricate part of Aikido and the Japanese today have incorporated it as the shout, called kiai, as well into their business model. They have executives reaching out to ki masters to teach them how to harness and use this energy.

It may come as a surprise that under other names most cultures believed in this energy until the age of science where westerners tend to scoff at the idea and feel it beneath them to even consider its possibilities simply because Science cannot prove its existence. Just because it cannot be proved does not mean it is not possible.

Regardless, the concept of "ki" is coming closer to being accepted world wide and in many cultures.

This is actually a capture of energy through a process called, Kirlian photography, which may be the first proof of "ki" energy. Wouldn't it be so cool if someone took kirlian shots before and after and during the sanchin kata?
