Just by visualizing the blockage and pointing the fingers directly to the heart.
Imagine there that there is an image of you standing in front of you, with the back facing you. Do the sword fingers on the imaginary you at the appropriate place on the back with the intent that the energy will unblock the back. Energy follows intent. It works just as well as reaching behind you. The yang spirit in the heart doesn't like the yin energy of sword fingers, but Master Lin did specifically say that you can point to an area NEAR the heart and get away with it, as long as you hold the intent of clearing the blockage in that area, and avoid directing energy at the heart.
