Shakti.
Yogis East and West know this in experience. It too is real and is probably
not different from Chi, although it has different cultural descriptors and
cultural lore, as well as scriptural lore.
When practice is strong, it becomes, ...well, noticed.
When one does not neglect physical practice, and then also practices zazen
well, it arises and causes changes. Both the "it" itself (the shakti, or Chi)
are noticed, and so are the changes. So, the proof is in the practitioner, not
in the proctoscope.
