How does it work in a biological organism?....And how does a field, as weak as the Earth's magnetic field make much of a difference....it shouldn't make much any difference to any biochemical reaction.... In 1976 demonstrated certain chemical reactions involving free radicals were sensitive to magnetic fields. And the reason for that was that the unpaired electrons in free radicals, if they remain entangled, they become sensitive, or the reaction becomes sensitive to magnetic fields. The presence acts as an angle of a magnetic field, relative to the unpaired electron orientation makes a difference to the final products of those reactions....certain chemical reactions were sensitive to magnetic fields.

sorry, it's hard to follow everything you wrote...
... are you saying we should be standing in santishi with our right hand up. the right hand is not facing the body in any case.
When your left hand and left foot are in front during Santi Shi, the posture is called left-side Santi Shi. The opposite situation is referred to as
right-side Santi Shi. You should practice equally on both sides.
At the same time, imagine that your right hand is pulling something back and then coordinate this feeling with the
downward force in your left foot. The integration of the feeling in your right hand with the downward press of your left foot will augment the
backward force.
The first step in integration force training is to mentally connect one arm with the leg on the opposite side of your body. Focus first on the
Laogong point of your left hand and then expand this thought to the Yongquan point on your right foot.
The entities of yin and yang are differentiated within Taiji but are not
yet fully separated....These changes result in the separation of yin and yang and end when yin and
yang become integrated and generate Santi Shi.
In the
beginning, Xingyi training is very similar to external martial arts training, and then the training
progresses to incorporate high level principles. Because the training methodology is changed inside
instead of outside, many people cannot do this well, even if they do not realize it. Consequently, many
people enjoy low level practice or mistake low level practice for high level skill. In Xingyi training, how
to step over this point is the most difficult thing.
Unfortunately most people just understand lower level principles, and sometimes therefore mistake low level skill for high
level.
So it is said that although many people practice, it is very rare to find someone who can achieve high level skill.
It is very common for Xingyi practitioners to remain
at the level of Ming Jin even after many years hard training because they do not know how to progress to the next step (An Jin) and
perhaps do not even realize the need to further progress.

I'm more interested in the health aspects (wider "application"), but on this board, people are more interested in martial arts, so usually we try to stay on that topic. Plus, like others, I cannot follow too much TCM theory or long posts very easily.
Anecdotally I would say that standing in santishi makes me feel more focused and "ready to act". I did an anecdotal test and tried this standing, then played a "shooter". I felt calmer yet more focused and did objectively better. There are too many variables to make much of a conclusion, but subjectively it's about being in the zone. I would say you try to calm down most of your nervous system, but it's ready. I try to do the same thing if I play goalkeeper. Most of the time you are watching alertly, but not doing anything, then suddenly you have to react. Getting your nervous system state, mental state, and whatever tactical body position you need all aligned is pretty difficult. "Fighting" has too many variables, but doing these two activities (the first you're mentally and nervous-system wise going through "fighting" but you're hardly moving, the second you are in a physical competition but again you're hardly moving), you definitely notice some "application", at least subjectively, of trying to bring this all together in a practical way for a specific result achieved through some kind of nervous system action (whether a button push or a diving to ground motion). I haven't noticed any difference with left or right hand up, but doing any kind of qigong, it feels different with hand facing outward or toward you. For me, a "tree hugging" posture is more calming, relaxing, back toward "undifferentiated".
Three external harmonies (外三合)
The hands harmonise with the feet
The first step in integration force training is to mentally connect one arm with the leg on the opposite side of your body. Focus first on the
Laogong point of your left hand and then expand this thought to the Yongquan point on your right foot....Complete this part of your practice by focusing on the Lao Gong point on your right hand and connecting it to the Yongquan point on your left foot.
Then, focus your mind on the Quchi
point on your left elbow and connect that thought to the Yanglingquan point on your right knee.

The right path of Intent Boxing (Yi Quan) does not go beyond the ancient postures of old Three Fists and two energies (Qi) of Dragon and Tiger. Two energies of Dragon and Tiger are skills....
