Many Stargazers practice such energy techniques as Chi Kung or Yoga. These
practices cleanse the aura/meridians/chakras to aid in health and mental
acuity. Chi Kung is similar to the Chinese art of Tai Chi, and involves both
standing and sitting meditations. Yoga seeks to repeat the postures each
being performed when in the womb, to awaken primordial energy and health;
there are many Garou yogas for each form, from Homid to Lupus.

These exercises are usually done for one hour in the morning and provide their
effects for the full day, although certain types of energy work can be done
during certain hours of the day for best effect. If less than an hour is
practiced, the rite is not effective.

There are deeper and deeper levels of such practices, represented by five
levels of rites.

System: Roll Stamina + Rituals against a difficulty of seven. The effects
of success depend on the level of the rite:

Level	Effect
1	Cleansing. Tones the body and removes stress and fatigue.
2	Exercise. Stretches the body and builds endurance. -1 difficulty on
        all Stamina rolls for the day.
3	Centering. Character can regain one Willpower point with a successful
        rite roll (difficulty 8). This may be attempted only once per day.
4	Meditation. Character can meditate while practicing this rite; she
        can regain two Gnosis points per hour spent meditating, and has a
        -1 difficulty to her Wits + Enigmas roll.
5	Restoration. Heals one Battle Scar: Character must perform this rite
        every day for one week per result on the Battle Scars roll (see the
        Battle Scars Chart, p.199 of the rulebook: a superficial scar is 3,
        a broken jaw 9, etc.). After this time, the scar will disappear
        along with its ill effects (as well as any Renown gained by wearing
        such a scar).
