Well, the way it was described, if taken literally, is a formula for getting a frozen shoulder. I did it, and it took me a year to recover the full use of that arm (it was misdiagnosed at first, which did not help), but I am a professional, don't try this at home! *Never* allow the hand to "hover" fully. The fingers should be lightly resting on the keys, presumably in home position (there is usually a little projection on the F key so you can feel home position with the forefinger -- feeling is much faster than seeing), and the wrist should be supported and the angle should be right.
