I think this is an application of bioelectricity. Imagine it. Comes in handy sometimes. Consider [Richard Feynman on Electricity (youtube)](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kS25vitrZ6g)

Injured cellular matrixes (skin in particular) induce a negative charge due to the disruption of normal ion channels (TRPs mostly). It's very small ~50mV. Immune cells are attracted to this charge. It guides them to the site. If they are functioning well they perform healing processes. TRPs, ones that are hit by terpenes, are piezoelectric in nature. If this is what is going on, and these ancient healing techniques have an ounce of credibiilty, then Reiki / Acupuncture are about channeling electrostatic charge of earth into the body to guide and direct cells to certain spots. The same kind of charges lightning comes from. They call it "universal energy". It's just electricity.

Much of these TRPs, ones that are hit by terpenes, are piezoelectric in nature and may need to be functioning well to induce this charge.

Channeling Chi is about learning to feel and manipulate these slight gradients. Tai Chi is a training regimen to feel it in your hands. Tai Chi "energy ball" is sensing a repulsive field of the body acting like a piezoelectric generator. The movements are to build up static charge. C-tactile fibers are very dense in the hand, but you need a charge built up to feel another charge. It feels like a ball when your hand have a slight charge. There also ought to be a meditation that can change minute charges in hands that would be perceived as a glowing to people w/ sensitive eyes.
