From a qi point of view - What are the effects of streching exercises (that are not part of yoga or qigong system) ?
I have noticed there are a lot of stretching movements in zhineng qigong and maybe its in other qigong paths - does streching (not as part of qigong) have any effect on qi in the body ? does it make more qi in the body ? does it help clear blockages in the meridians ? does it widen the meridians ?
If there are benifits to it in a qi point of view what does it mean on extremely flexible "rubber man" ? are there areas where they are extremly good at ( spiritualy , strong qi flow etc)
