I have used a couple Daoist mudras as what has been described as "suggestions" for a direction for qi to flow within the body.

I think of it like an attention sink. If you clasp your hands with your thumbs pressed against one another, the tension between your thumbs draws your attention to that point. "Where attention goes, energy flows", so this acts as a beacon signaling the qi to flow towards that point.

Based on a method described in a book by Matt Auryn, I use hand gestures as anchors to evoke specific states of consciousness. By linking specific states of consciousness to particular hand shapes—such as one for an altered state of consciousness and another for focusing awareness on a single point—these gestures serve as an aid in summoning those states.
