It's indescribable, of course. But, on a personal note, I can feel the effects of its redeployment. Its the internal energy associated with feeling enlivened/aware/inspired vs the lack of it when feeling dull/heavy/"depressed"/uninspired. I feel it as a subtle high frequency thrumming/vibration in and around the body which clears the air and allows perception to penetrate more vividly. The capacity to shift the assemblage point is heightened.
Again, this is my take on it...personal notes.
I think just about every beginner qigong book begins with explaining that everyone feels qi differently. I'm not entirely sure anymore, but when I first started with this it was very definitely like a fluid that I was moving around my body. Circulating around in my brain, trying NOT to get it trapped in my head and definitely trying NOT to let it build up and shoot out the end of my penis, you know? That kind of thing.
I could definitely call it a high frequency buzzing, generalized throughout the body but also focused on wherever I move my attention. It moves around when I breathe. It actually never stops moving, but it doesn't always move WELL or quickly, and I think it comes in bright, conscious, and dark, unconscious flavors. It's not always responsive to suggestions. It also IS suggestions. You think you're willing it, but it's the energy behind willing. You think you're conscious of it moving around but also it IS consciousness. But that's not always very obvious. When it's sluggish or moving WRONG I very very definitely associate that with depression.
