Without going on too much of a tangent, I'll cut this short. The key to amassing spiritual potential is meditation. The key to meditation is understanding. What you must understand is how 'the flow' MECHANICALLY FUNCTIONS. 'The flow' is most easily likened to electrical motion, an outward push filling an inward fall. It may seem simple to wrap one's head around the concept, and it is, but the difficulty stems from the fact that there are innumerable orders of magnitude of this 'flow' stacked on top and inside each other to such a mind-boggling degree that it would take lifetimes to sort it out. When you reach the true state of meditation for the first time, it will scare you. You may snap out of the 'trance', but don't fear it. You will feel small and your body will hurt, but you will grow acclimated to it. Eventually your perception will begin to sharpen, and continue to do so with no end in sight. The more you do it, the easier it becomes. Just don't give up.

TL;DR: meditate for 81 hours total at least and report back.

You are talking about your own experiences that doesn't apply to others. Try listening to others instead of thinking you got it right.

Don't sweat it lad. I can't claim to know all the ins and outs of the process, as I myself have only been at it a couple years. However in this time I've experienced things that almost defy explanation. 

For over a decade I practiced breathing techniques, eating habits, and so on, to some (very little, I would eventually discover) avail. Once I figured out proper meditation, I was able to double or triple all that I had learned and acquired in those years in a matter of minutes, or possibly even seconds. The first time I hit that real meditative state, it seemed like it was over in a flash. While I was in this state, I felt insurmountably small, as though I were a grain of sand flying directly at something the size of a planet. When I came out of it, scared out of my wits, I found that I had been in that state for nearly 40 minutes. My body was sore all over, and I was sweating buckets. 
Soon after this incident I was getting migraines, and when they stopped, I noticed I was seeing odd new colors. It sounds silly, but I nearly cried when I first saw the strange hue of my pot-lids in the kitchen. This shift in sensory has only continued to grow in the past couple of years. Nowadays I'm 'hearing' every little noise with my skin, and am able to pinpoint where animals are hiding while I'm out in the woods. It makes me supremely curious about what our ancestors were capable of, when I've barely even taken my first baby step into the foray.

To get more into the nitty gritty of the meditation process, I urge one to look into the idea of the 'Dantien' and the 'Hui Yin'. These are two points of focus on the body that I could compare to a 'doorway'. Once you put something through the 'doorway' it tends to stay open, allowing you to put more stuff in. 
The 'stuff' in this case would be 'Chi' or 'Pneuma' or whatever else you want to call this spiritual motion. It's not easily communicable how this feels. Chi/Pneuma is composed of two things: positive and negative. The positive flow feels warm and expansive; most easily compared to a bad case of gas. The negative flow feels cool, but I can't adequately describe the compression feeling working opposite to the positive. 
There are at least 3 Dantien in the body. These are simply three points in the body where it is easiest to focus; for it is mental focus that drives all of the spiritual action. There is one located sort of inside your hips, one just at the bottom of your sternum, and one in the center of your head. It's no coincidence that these three points line up with the commonly known Chakra map/diagram. The Hui Yin, on the other hand, is located at the very base of the torso, right behind your balls. 
The goal of this kind of meditation is to pull positive Chi into the lowest Dantien, and negative into the Hui Yin. In doing so, you will form a 'circuit' within the body that functions identically to electrical motion. With sufficient practice and meditation, you will begin to be able to move this point of concentration around the body. In a lot of circles this is referred to as 'opening gates', though, I've personally only been able to do it once so far.

What's the exact method for pulling energy into both the lower dantian and hui yin? Do you use visualization, or breathing? Do you split your focus on both points, or alternate between them?
