I read this Falun Gong thread to properly explain myself. Although I learned FG sometime in the summer/beginning fall of 2018. I spent about two days repeating it and then about a week since it was muscle memory. I've been kinda of lackluster with it and have at times dropped it. I mean worst case scenario is 20 or so minutes but never really wow'd me. Perhaps reading too much into the hot air they state it does. But this is for the whole Stormblood section. I think at you; Stormblood your overthinking it with affirmations. I'm not trying to be disrespectful but helpful.
A simple affirmation could be

The energies of Falun Gong is completely and eternally now empowering and balancing my entire soul in the most beneficial, happiest, godlike, and best way/ways/manner/manners for me.)
My reasoning is the wheel takes time to develop. So your adding energy in, so the best advice would be to empower the soul and might as well add balance for good measure. Each and every repetition of the gong system adds more and more much like a physical-spiritual move like yoga. Eventually at some point it produces the kundalini or in the case of FG "swastika philosopher wheel".
Now your mention of Qi gong is interesting. While I agree that it might not be the systems introduced by the gods. I mean you know full well how much corruption is in Qi gong. If you think about it from a certain perspective Qi gong is superior. Not because it IS superior in development but in the act of being a never ending program until you reach a level of auto-balancing most likely some extreme level of development. Falun Gong's main limit is the gong wheel it absorbs based on your weltanschaang(world-view) once you develop the gong wheel it is the limit the only thing you need to do is maintenance mode to keep it running and perhaps acclimate further potency being the very physical meditative act in programming further more energy(don't they say the more energy you have the more you improve)not unlike Blitzkrieg's admiration of MerKaBa, which on the JoS main site it states you can do it once every two or three days after permanent effects are made even though it's a very simple meditation; the MerKaBa so short it should be daily.
It's like runic magic if you blast hagl at someone are you potent enough to make it work in one shot and in one repetition or as little repetitions as possible. Again the main thing is if the FG system was so cosmically powerful it would be something that would explode you into some crazy levels of development. Again Hongzi sure has a way with words.
In fact in my studies of FG I felt scared for this FG wheel. Not because it doesn't stop which could have consequences to unprepared people much like the kundalini. But what is the starting point in absorbing these universal energies. So overtime I realized it must have limits. The FG moves particularly penetrating the two extremes or threading the two extremes brings in universal energies according to the use of the one or two planetary sized barrels you visualize while doing it. I guess at the end the limit is perhaps entirely based on your souls capacity.
But again there are limits. So I felt comfortable in knowing after studying FG that it's actually limited. Qigong as I said before has benefits in moving and balancing the body actively. While FG is more passive, I guess the best description I can give is what made me feel comfortable was the transmutation and even perhaps sublimation of universal energies no matter how limited or expansive it is. Really after studying some of these Asiatic threads posted it made me think is the FG wheel more transmutative and sublimative early on focusing on the limits and THEN later becoming a more powerhouse system.
If I had to describe FG it's like you said a SOUL TECHNOLOGY. Perhaps even some sort of health conscious effect. Also begs the question how the gods would help in acclimating to the wheel and YOUR soul. If it has been stated that things like the Kundalini are guarded by Satan and the gods and they keep tabs on people whether it's our side or their side and whether they wish to help raise it at the proper time or perhaps stop the person who is obviously doing it for shits and giggles or not even working for our side, at least from what I read when people mess with Kundalini.
