oh yes,
Iam2, it is not dangerous to move backwards between those points. The qi flows as it flows, you don't change that. More like swiming up stream, the river keeps on in its directional flow. There is a system called Tai Chi Ruler, that utilizes movements going reverse to the flow, around each dan tien, then the whole loop. It is an active exercise system, not a reverse deal in the sense of small universe meditation. love, g
