everything wrote:partly wonder if the finger is there just to help your yi. (and then qi follows yi). have you done the zhan zhuang where fingers of one hand point to palm of other, weight about 0/100 on back foot (same side as the pointing fingers)? what does that feel like to you?
Feels like even if both hands are separate, they're still connected by something when I move them. It's not quite in the body, but also not really outside. Dunno. When I move the back hand, it feels like there's something in my front palm that gets pushed and pulled the same way that I do the physical movement; while keeping the front palm in place. The back fingers feel pointy and sharp, kind of? The hands get quite warm. The space between the arms gets kind of gooey and sticky. This gooey feeling spreads around my skin and it feels like the all the bones in my body are floating somehow; some more some less. Also lots of general goose bumps, and tingly electric feelings that seem to follow predetermined pathways.
As a side note, my physical heart feels tingly and funny. I can feel it like a fist in the left side of my chest, and can feel it beating quite clearly, even when I haven't done any exercise. I was also doing lots of stretching in the neck and jaw areas, bc they felt very tight. The left side more so than the right sight. My left chest feels constricted and tight. Or maybe it was so all along, but I just didn't notice before. I will try to relax the area.
