Sensory experience stories
Energy that supports awareness of what you feel, offering steady and trustworthy company — everyone can find a way to look after themselves and live a little better.
The sensation of qi is a very subtle bodily experience. Becoming more attuned to qi is about building a closer connection with your body and understanding it better, and from there returning to yourself and to awareness.
Origins of the research
Who can feel the torsion field? In his book The Science of the Torsion Field, Prof. Si-Chen Lee, former President of National Taiwan University, notes that in his experiments roughly 15%–20% of participants were meridian-sensitive and could clearly feel the subtle sensation of qi.
Across the sensitivity groups in those experiments, about 20% were highly sensitive, about 40% moderately sensitive, and about 40% felt nothing at all.
Practices for building sensitivity
If you are not naturally sensitive, you can still build up your feel for your body through practice — mindfulness meditation, qigong, yoga and breathing exercises, all of them widely studied practices for everyday wellbeing. Used alongside our products, they can help you find your way back to awareness of your body and stay relaxed and at ease.

2013
Paper published
Prof. Si-Chen Lee and his doctoral student Dr. Wei-Chieh Liang published a paper in an international physics journal showing that although the torsion field produced by particle spin is very weak, coupling it with large-scale rotation produces a far stronger torsion field.

2013–2016
Crystal qi field experiments
In the crystal qi field experiments carried out by Prof. Si-Chen Lee and Dr. Hsiung-Kuang Tsai, the results matched the torsion field properties reported by Russian scientists, supporting the conclusion that the qi field produced by crystals is the torsion field.

1960s
Russian torsion field research
Since the 1960s, Russian scientists have studied the torsion field in depth and reported distinctive physical properties: it is not shielded by natural materials, and the spin structure of a space remains even after the torsion source is removed (the residual effect).

Frequently asked questions about Sensing Lab
Can I use the products if I don’t feel anything?
Yes. In the experiment data, around 40% of people felt nothing at all, and whether or not you feel something does not affect how you use the products. A feel for qi can also be built up gradually through practices such as mindfulness meditation, qigong, yoga and breathing exercises.
How do I know whether I am meridian-sensitive?
Notice whether you tend to be sensitive to the qi of a space — whether walking into a room brings tingling, numbness, warmth or light-headedness. You can also try a simple test: hold your left hand open and upright, form your right hand into a sword-finger gesture, and circle it about 10 cm above your left palm. How quickly a sensation appears reflects how sensitive you are.
