Yes, after a year of practicing many forms of qigong, I could externalize my energy, although it's not very pronounced for now, maybe after another year it will be even stronger. I could gently move tiny and light stuff like needles, candle flames and small strips of paper from several inches to a couple of feet away with energy. But don't be distracted or attached to these phenomena for they can make you frustrated and stop you from going forward, just smile and let go during your practice and the universe will reward you in some way. Good luck in your practice and I hope you'd reach your goal whether it's for good health, spiritual development or building a strong energy to help others.
