"Electrical current is carried by a charged ion. With electromagnetic waves, [the mechanism] is not certain. For example, light and heat are not electrical, but they can carry information in their frequency and wavelength," says Chen. He states that this discovery is evidence for a claim often made by practitioners of chikung, that "hot" chi passes through the entire body's jingmai (channels).
