Body meridians, chakras, ki energy: what are these things? Where do our body meridians and health coincide? These are common questions about the body's mind-body connection, which is a delicate balance of ethereal forces that pervade your being.
While they may sound inaccessible or metaphysical, things like ki energy and chakras are quite real, and scientists have spent considerable energy studying the effects of ki energy training on physical health and well-being. Here are some of the conclusions they've come to.
- Individuals with anxiety can have trouble decompressing and shaking of the source of their tension. However, a study published in the journal Stress and Health found that ki training helped participants significantly reduce their anxiety levels over the course of a one-hour session. The authors noted that the ki-based intervention appeared to reduce blood levels of cortisol, which is a hormone linked to stress.
- A report appearing in the Journal of Alternative and Complementary Medicine announced that qigong exercises helped a number of female volunteers reduce their symptoms of premenstrual syndrome, which included aches, water retention and negative emotions.
- Another paper published in the same journal argued that ki techniques may be able to help fibromyalgia patients reduce pain and stiffness.
