I did not know about energy reservoirs. That is very good to know. Thanks for that information. When I first started SFQ I was practicing 3 or 4 different styles of qigong. Master Lin said I was using them to keep feeling the qi, in the sense that I would plateau, then shift to another form and feel something again. Everytime I would lose feeling, switching would create feeling again. The downside was that I wasn't really progressing, and in hindsight, perhaps not filling a "reservoir" and moving on to a higher level. This is also an important aspect of why it is important to focus on one system. It is the most effective way to continually progress.
