気 (ki) "energy" / "life-force" / "spirit"

Japanese martial arts practitioners often give a loud quick shout as they perform an attacking move.

This shout is a 気合 (ki-ai), often translated as “meeting of spirit”.

This ki is the ki in aikido, qigong, and reiki.

Ki is a central principle in traditional Chinese medicine and Eastern martial arts.

It has been translated variously as energy, life force, vital energy, spirit.

It is believed to be the essence of life.

Eastern health practices such as qigong, taichi and acupuncture are believed to balance and encourage the flow of ki to create a healthy mind and body.

INTERPLANETARY SHOCK WAVE: An interplanetary shock wave struck Earth's magnetic field on April 24th at ~0715 UTC. What is an interplanetary shock wave? It's an abrupt change in the solar wind--probably a CME that we didn't realize was coming. This one sparked auroras in New Zealand, but no global geomagnetic storm.
