... ultimately being stuck on those sensations haults your progress.
We shouldnt mistake descriptions of the consiquence of correct practice, for the practice itself.

An example from my own trianing, many years ago when i was seriously training Xing yi (maybe 3 - 4 hours of solid training a day, every day) i began to develop the feeling of heat inside my body. It was very strong, like my body was puffing up from a furnace inside. I was sure i was onto something and kept dwelling in this sensation as i trained. When i spoke to a teacher i trust about it they simply said 'Yeh, ignor that and keep training'.

When someone would ask my teacher, Dr. Xie, what sink the qi meant, he would charge at them and act like he was going to hit them, but stop inches from their face. Then he’d say “There. Now your qi is sunk to your Dantian.”

Maybe the billiards analogy would be better for you two.
