    I’ve always suspected that the qi that can be felt when practicing qigong is an electric field.

      No such thing.

        I would be skeptical too, except I have directly felt qi in demonstrations and the force feels similar to the repulsive force between two weak magnets.

        OP discusses a natural phenomenon that was previously overlooked. I think it’s worth keeping an open mind on other phenomena that have yet to be studied thoroughly.

          That would be extremely simple to demonstrate with an electrostatic field meter.

          Why do you think noone has done it before?

          Yes you are right
