Ki or, 気, is a very useful Japanese word. Ki 気 is the Japanese word for air; atmosphere; flavor; heart; mind; spirit; feelings; humor; an intention; mind; will. When used in conjunction with other verbs, this little word really starts becoming useful.

5. This exercise will help you gain control over your breathing.

5. Make a mental connection.
6. Become aware of your breath.

Visualization, mantras, yoga, sound healing, Reiki, and crystals can all help rebalance this energy if it’s blocked or overactive.
