I have practiced Tai Chi for many years. While it helped with balance and some focus, I never noticed any major changes in mood or subjective life experience. I have also studied with a Japanese Qi Gong master who used external Qi to heal people. I had some positive experiences with that practice.

However, I've recently learned Liu He Ba Fa....
