Does anyone else use this method?

We use this a lot in our chi gong, drawing the fire from the earth, the water from the sky, the air then combining them & projecting the shield.

I've only been training a few weeks so I don't know too much about it. I've been doing mostly standing practice & different movements, etc.

Later on we learn the Static Three Elements form: combining the 3 forces of energy, forming the white light. projecting your force to move the straw with your finger.

Is this buddhist or taoist chi gong?

Is this method used by a certain type of chi gong system?

Also is this a good method of chi gong?

Thanx
