Thats essentially my practice of the three internal harmonies....
But to be serious: I focus on sending my yi to the place I am striking, sending my qi to the place inside my body that I am striking with (IE: through arm and out fist) and harmonizing my movements so that they become "internal".
A big part of the three internal harmonies in my practice is combining movement of the associated organ with the element. IE: when I do zuan I focus on my lower back around where my kidneys are, or for pi I focus on using my rib cage to create power.

3 internal harmonies: 內三合
心與意合、意與氣合、氣與力合
xin (heart/mind) and yi (intent) harmonize
intent and qi harmonize
qi and li (external force) harmonize

I would have to disagree with you on this interrelationship between the organs and the Wu Xing Quan as far as I know this is a recent addition as Dai XIn Yi Quan (as I know) does not have this.
Fighting is fighting, when you are delivering power you are focusing on causing the most damage in the fastest, efficient way.
All this talk of qi, jing luo, zang fu, dan tian is going to get your ass kicked

So heart (xin) is the thinking mind? Can you elaborate a bit?
