Qi follows Yi. Yi is intention or mind or mindfulness.
Remember when you were a kid playing with sand on the beach? You might've dug some sand in a trench and let the water flow into the trench...that's how it moves, roughly. Qi is like water, it can only flow into where it is not blocked from.
How to do it?? If you hold your arm/hand in front of you and think 'forwards' without moving physically, you're 'digging the trench'...no effort, just thought and will. Mindfully relax and let it flow.
That's my take anyway.

"Children, never fuss or fret
Nor let unreason'd tempers rise
Your little hands were never meant
To pluck out one anothers eyes"

“We are at a crossroads. One path leads to despair and the other to total extinction. I pray I have the wisdom to choose wisely.”
