"Qi deviations" as they call them in the Chinese internal arts, as I understand them (which isn't saying much), has to do especially with neigong, and hard Qigong. For example, breathing techniques can really screw you up if done incorrectly. Practices that lead to excessive rising Qi to the head can also cause problems. Jwing Ming Yang in his "Root of Chinese Qigong" talks about this. Anyway, from what I gather here, these are not issues in the Japanese internal arts. I hope I made some sense. Thanks again for your input. I appreciate your comments.
