I think it's great that this helped you with your depression. I would attribute that more to the psychological effects of this visualization exercise than "energy beams shooting out of your fingers"... but to each his own I suppose.
Do you have any experience treating physical ailments with Qigong?
I suppose when I look at it from another way... from the aspect of a visualization exercise... I could see you influencing your body through the power of your mind... something kin to stress contributing to disease, and the lack of stress being somewhat of a deterrent. I suppose it just rubs me wrong that people seem to think there are actually energy beams shooting out of their finger tips... but I guess if that belief is what it takes to trigger the desired psychological effect, more power to you. I'm still skeptical as to it's effectiveness with more serious physical ailments though.
As far as looking up videos on the subject... I looked up a few videos on people claiming to harness qi (chi) to do some miraculous stuff... but for the most part, the videos just disproved the qi theory.
like this one:
YouTube - The Power of Chi - Exposed
Not saying any of these kinds of videos really disprove anything, but I've yet to find anything providing any solid evidence for the effectiveness of qi.
