My guess is that the circulated energy that you are beginning to train within, doesn't reach your extremities. What is there, cold, gets forced out. Sounds like an elementary block to me, or something I'm unfamiliar with. Whatever the cause, I think it might be better to work on gentle internal work, with supervision, and not even think of projecting energy until progress has been made along those lines.

I think you'll do fine,
