The system does not so much forget that things are linked as much as it strives for harmony with them as a chain of interlinked relations. The only time I have known of Taoist magick systems to work with external energies is when dealing with sprites. The rest of the time they tend to follow the axiom that the individual is a hologram of the universe- change yourself and the world changes with you. I used an odd mix of Dragon Gate sect and martial Taoism, so philosophical with mystic implications.

what you can do is extend your consciousness outwards, until you can hit hers.
Another way is to simply recall 'her' and her essence, then just chase after that energy signature until you can reach her.
I like the Second option. As I said, I am too out of practice with external energy. Slightly bothersome, I have to do something about that.
I seek out the part of her that accessible within myself and perhaps cultivate the part of me accessible within her. I am not sure it would last very long with out her helping to maintain the link, but it a good place to start. She is not a magick user, and not even especially sensitive. That is why I was thinking about some kind of banding, so she would not have to work at maintaining the connection, and I would not have to shore it up every few weeks.
I suppose a strong enough spell could aid the link in some way. I’ll have to think on that one.
Edit: I looked up Gestalt and you chose the right word. It is surprising what how science tends to hit on other wise esoteric understandings.
