Women's beach volleyball seems to affect me in a supernatural way
Does it make you feel uplifted too?

Having thought about this more.
I prefer Qi helping people do some superhuman things rather than supernatural. :mrgreen:
We know very little about the power of the brain.
We've all heard stories of people under duress being able to do all kinds of crazy things.
Perhaps the ability to focus and harness an inner energy (Qi), is like tapping into some of that unknown power of the brain.
Bringing that energy and power out when in complete control, rather than under duress or through fear.

What are your thoughts on Qi?
You can see the Kiai in action in women's tennis.
Does meditation plays a role in Chi?
There's no need to presume anything supernatural in the mix.
This review found no convincing evidence that internal qigong (a form of controlled breathing with specific slow body movements and relaxation) was beneficial for pain management.
Not surprising that a study done by a western based medical branch wouldn't find anything of value in an eastern/Chinese practice.
But of course, you are free to be skeptical. At least you're leaving room for changing your mind. :mrgreen:

That's a variation on the religious argument "In order to understand you have to first believe..."
