CORE DEFINITION

Close your eyes and use consciousness to 'see' the internal organs, meridians, and the flow of qi and blood within the body.

SCAFFOLDING EFFECT

psychology

Reduce cognitive load

System self-check. It does not rely on external instruments, but develops the body's inner senses (interoception). Through inner visualization, one can detect subtle blockages in qi and blood at the earliest stage.

Anchor fast decisions

By closing the eyes and focusing on internal bodily sensations, one trains interoceptive sensitivity, bringing normally ignored signals of qi/blood or tension into consciousness, forming a 'system self-check'. The mechanism is 'bringing background bodily signals to the foreground for monitoring'.
