One way of using these luo-connecting points is in transferring energy from one side of the body to the other.
Tonifying a luo-connecting point on one side of the body and dispersing it on the other can sometimes help to balance the flow of Qi along the channels, by strengthening it on the first side and easing it out on the second.
At least, so it seems when it works: it doesn’t always! Sometimes it works even if just one side is so treated.
