it's really nice to see that these methods are only Western, in China it's quite the opposite!
Scratching the needle is never used and is considered absolutely superstition!
Giving snaps and taps to make the needle swing in traditional Chinese schools is a technique for carrying out DISPERSION! As the swinging of the needle through finger snaps disperses Qi into the secondary channels! It is absolutely not useful for toning!
Rotating the needle clockwise or anti-clockwise has always been shown to produce the same effect: the 'QI' is concentrated around the needle therefore TONIFICATION is created in the point which can then be dispersed.
The only real technique to modify the TONIFICATION or DISPERSION is the insertion of the needle in favor of the flow or against the flow.
