本研究探討身體與道德之間的關聯，尤其著墨於身體學習道德的方式與途徑。不同於一般認知學習的方式，氣功參與者的練氣功經驗指出「氣覺」也可以傳遞與學習道德。氣覺是一種身體感，而這裡的道德，指的是人由惡轉善的過程。
本文以台灣的一個民間氣功團體—合實，為主要的田野地，採「深度訪談」以及「參與觀察」的方式，蒐集報導人練氣功的身體經驗與田野地在氣功教學上的安排。本文將氣分為氣感與氣覺，兩者都是合實成員在該團體文化、環境中，經由動作、呼吸及意念逐步練習、發展而得的身體感。氣感意指感覺到氣的存在，而氣覺指的是利用身體的氣去感知體內與體外的訊息。
研究發現該團體強調身體、氣與意念之間的連結，而其中的「意念」更是影響個人由惡轉善的關鍵因素。合實將這個由惡轉善的過程稱之為「轉念」，而本文將之命名為「轉念機制」。驅動轉念機制並非一蹴可幾，而是有賴於個人氣覺的敏感度與強度方能達成。合實成員透過身體勤練氣功以增強氣覺，藉由氣覺接收關於道德的訊息，然後進而學習道德。本文透過這個氣功團體的研究，指出學習道德的另一種途徑。

This study investigates the relationship between body and morality, especially focuses on how our bodies acquire morality. Different from the ways of cognitive learning, Qigong practitioners’ experience of practicing Qi shows that the “perception of Qi” can help them pass and acquire the messages of morality. In this study, the “perception of Qi” is a kind of “shentigan,” and “morality” means “the process for people to turn from bad to good.”

This study chooses Heshi, a Qigong group in Taiwan, to be the main object. I adopt depth interviews and participant observation methods on collecting the materials of body experiences from my informants and the arrangements of teaching Qigong in Heshi. The research regards Qi as two levels: the sensation and the perception of Qi. Both of them are developed from everyday Qigong practicing in the culture and environment of Heshi. The everyday Qigong practicing includes body movements, breath, and the thought. The sensation of Qi means that one can feel the existence of Qi, and the perception of Qi means one can use Qi as a tool to feel the messages outside and inside the body.

Results show that Heshi emphasizes the link among body, Qi, and the thought. Moreover, the thought is a key element which triggers the process for people to turn from bad to good. The process is named as “thoughts-changing” in Heshi, and it is also named as “thoughts-changing mechanism” in this research. It is not easy to trigger thoughts-changing mechanism. To get it started relies on the sensitivity and intensity of Qi. The members of Heshi practice Qigong every day to strengthen their perception of Qi and acquire morality by using it to receive the messages outside and inside their bodies. This study on Heshi indicates another method to acquire morality.
