Dear Faith,
In Japanese, ""KI" means "energy, spirit, mind" (in a larger context
"KI" means "the spirit" or "the nature" or "of the universe," and not
just the spirit of human beings). (SOURCE: Overview of Aikido,
<http://www.sfu.ca/~aikido/overview.html>)
"Ki means the same as Chi(soul) in Chinese, Prana(soul) in Sanskrit
and Ti or Ki in Hawaiian. Ki is the life force(soul), the force we
have with our soul. It is also called the vital life force or the
universal life force. This is the nonphysical energy that animates all
living things. As long as something is alive, it has life force(soul)
circulating through it and surrounding it; when it dies, the life
force departs. Ki is used by martial artists in their physical
training and mental development. It is used in meditative breathing
exercises called Pranayama, and by the shamans of all cultures for
divination, psychic awareness, manifestation and healing."

In addition, you might have played this game: "The heroine of Tower of
Druaga and its sequels is named Ki (in which case the word is
pronounced "Kai")" (SOURCE: Wikipedia, KI,
<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/KI>). That is also the name of the
Sumerian goddess of the Earth, and you might have read a book
featuring her.
