    I was always wondering about the tingling sensation of my fingers. Here is what I discovered from modern science.
    From the cell model, scientist had determined that the cell use the oxygen to decompose the glucose to generate heat and energy. When the blood circulates, it carries heat through the body. At the same time, the tingling is the blood pressure build up in the capillaries. The pressure may cause the capillaries to be ruptured, therefore, the capillaries will contract to prevent from happening, The tingling sensation was from the contraction of the capillaries. The Chinese called that the chi sensation(ę°£ę„Ÿ).

    Ā 

    but the heat that comes from rubbing hands is not the chi it self , its the aftereffect on blood-flow in the area , which is all after-affect of the chi on the location..the tingling of chi movement is differentĀ Ā and can be thin , aroused , smooth etc..

    In Tai Chi, the Three Internal Harmonies describe a progression through "shen yi qi li"

    ē„ž (1) ꄏ (2) ę°£ (3) 力

    Ā 

    1. Shen, a pervasive shining spirit, localizes as awareness within the field of yi, heart/mind. All things, even empty space, contain at least some fragment of consciousness. Attention on attention brings this potentiality into focus. This is sometimes called the spirit blessing the mind.

    Ā 

    2. Yi, intention moves at will throughout the body. Like gently leading an ox with a leash, attention placed within a location then sparks up an increase of the energy reactions taking place there. This is often called the mind leading the qi.

    Ā 

    3. Qi, the vibrations then imbue into the flesh and bone support and strengthening, li. This is called how they say "breathe into" some part or other.

    Ā 

    As I always like to point out, this is only a certain angle of looking at it.

    Is it possible that Yi is overcoming the shen and disturb the natural shen balance?
