In our practice, Ting Jin is a form of self-awareness where we pay full attention to the changing sensory feedback provided by our body to our mind, mainly by using the sense of touch / feel and sight. We can feel inside and see our self, outside.
The Chinese character offers a lot of insight too by examining the parts that constitutes the full character and expresses its meaning.
Upon receiving this sensory information, we can "interpret" what is actually taking place in the body (Dong Jin). Just like any skill, the more we practice this form of body awareness meditation, we will hear better and interpret more accurately. This is what is meant by feeling your Qi. Through proper training we can become more Qi-sensitive.
It should be noted we cannot go by feeling alone, because in many cases what is correct initially might feel uncomfortable and awkward. We have to apply our academic knowledge of the body also into practice. Everything is in a state of change. So as skill improves, practice transforms. It is important to practice exercises that are appropriate for your body and your level of skill.
I suggest pursing "make less more" by focusing on improving quality. We get better at a few things done regularly rather than a lot of things done occasionally.
