The shape power things can work, as presented. I more found it to be interesting because it gave a sense of physics to the movements that already exist in different systems of qigong.
Depending on what you’re looking at, it doesn’t really have the depth that other systems have. But it does describe the movements in the loose layer of energy fairly well.
Old systems build in a lot of different things like patterns that link to stars or things that trace the path that energy flows in the span of a year (and building on that resonance).
