Our daily work is all about balancing body, mind, and spirit — and there is so much to share that sometimes I hardly know where to start.
For example, we still haven’t finished exploring the Natural Laws. And then there’s nutrition. And the emotions. And the nervous system. And, well… you get the idea.
In Chinese medicine, this kind of “too much to process” stress would be related to a spirit known as the Yi.
That’s right — spirit.
In Chinese medicine, there are five so-called “spirits” that represent different aspects of consciousness. They are Hun, Po, Yi, Zhi, and Shen — and one or more of these patterns often show up in our scans.
The Yi is connected to the Spleen. When balanced, it relates to focused thought, study, learning, concentration, discernment, and the ability to process life clearly. When stressed, it can show up as worry, overthinking, mental looping, or feeling like there is just too much to digest.
So, I’m working on that today for myself with a couple of gadgets I’ve added to my energy arsenal over the years, one being the SRC.
Some information on the other “spirits”:
Hun connects to the Liver and relates to dreams, goals, planning, future vision, emotional movement, and the ability to imagine what comes next. When stressed, it may show up as frustration, irritability, mood swings, depression, or feeling directionless.
Po connects to the Lung and is associated with the physical body, the senses, instinct, survival, breath, grief, and basic bodily awareness.
Zhi connects to the Kidneys and relates to willpower, determination, courage, endurance, and the capacity to make choices. This one can be more stressed than ever in this modern age, where devices, distractions, and constant stimulation can scatter focus and drain inner resolve.
Shen connects to the Heart and represents the light of consciousness — our awareness, emotional balance, presence, joy, clarity, and connection to something higher.
For the group today, the top stress appears to be Shen.
We’re resonating with several cocktails related to this:
Heart-Spirit Shen Stability
Muscles • Excess Shen — Stored Charge Stress Held in the Body
Shen Stability & Clear Focus
And here’s a thought: if we add a few simple physical practices each day while also receiving energy, the results may be enhanced.
Yesterday, for example: the breathwork exercise.
Anybody try it yet?
Next, how about some acupressure?
There is plenty of information online on how to do it, and it’s quite simple. According to today’s scan, the point we may most benefit from is Bladder 5, located just above the hairline.
Plenty of images are online.
Working with this point is associated with supporting the nervous system, mental calm, emotional stability, and overall energy flow.
In fact, from this point forward, a suggestion for a simple acupressure point based on our scan will be included with these posts.
Now if we can get the ego to cooperate.
