kev5,
In your post above you were curious as to why you were more sensitive to energy flows at the top of your head. In many "energy working" traditions there are energy centers in the body, akin to the chakras of the east. One of the major energy centers (using the chakra model) is at the crown of the head (the others are at the third eye, the throat, the heart, the solar plexus, the navel, and the base of the spine). In kundalini yoga, one of the goals is to have the energy rise up from the base of the spine up to the crown chakra, supposedly opening one to various "powers" (siddhis). In much of the literature, there are actually two major channels - one rising up the spine, the other descending frlom the crown to the root. I am not familiar with the Qi Gong, but it does seem that the exercises are akin to some of those used in awakening the various chakras.
