O Most Knowledgeable Ones,
I do not practice qigong or meditation. I do have basic knowledge about qi and its flow through the body, having read "The Root Of Chinese Qigong" and a few other books from Dr. Yang.
so, being an otherwise normal person, can you tell me why it is that quite often when something is pinched, poked, hit, or pressed on my arms/legs/hands/feet, I feel a twinge somewhere on my torso?
usually it's on the ribs on the sides or to the front, anywhere from the height of the navel up to the pectorals, it can be on either side. I can put my fingertip right where it was, it's so small and precise I could probably even put a needle right through the exact spot.
does this happen to everybody? or to just those who practice qigong (even though I don't)? or just me??
would this be a function of qi, or nerves? could it mean I have too much or too little qi flowing around?
