The channel in the front flows upward. The microcosmic orbit mentally changes direction. It’s easy to reverse and that was probably the least of that persons worries. That’s higher spiritual work and books don’t get it. You correctly said “get a teacher”. Ok. I guess back in the day TCM practitioners were asked about people removing clothes and running naked (bi polar sounding). The heart it was said is harassed.
