In digital era, most of us have forgotten the wisdom passed on by our great grand parents, primal ancestors and surely the precious teachings by ancient Taoism and Ayurveda back in those days when lights were not even invented, nor any processed foods introduced to humans. Just walk to any individual and ask, "Do you know what are the three treasures in the body?" or "Can you explain what is the connection of the body, mind and soul?". There is high possibility every 9 out of 10 individuals look clueless and paused for 7 seconds and look blank on the face.
What has changed? Why have we all forgotten about the way of life? Why have we all so disconnected with ourselves and the universe? Why have we know so little about nature and not even know which foods are real and knowing how the body work? Most of my clients and individuals I asked about which learnings and wisdom passed on to him or her, the answer is NONE. Perhaps the circle of individuals I came across have very limited knowledge and teachings from any known sources or masters, but today's post is about me sharing and providing awareness of what I learnt, and what I have been practicing for years. As a certified Holistic Lifestyle Coach and a personal trainer, what I learnt and practiced for the last years is way beyond fat loss, body transformation, fitness nor general health. It's about nourishing life, bringing quality of life to a whole new level. Developing a stronger version of yourself to a greater level, on all layers, mental, emotional, physical, spiritual and sexual health.
As a note, before you continue reading this post, some of the content may 'push' some of the 'buttons' of your inner deep self, due to some of us practice and follow certain religious teachings and restrictions, or even cultural influences almost our entire life. For me, I was too as an individual who were born in a restricted religion environment and teachings of my parents and cultural factor too. But what I'm about to share here today, could be an eye opener to most of you readers, IF you have an open mind and giving yourself permission to empower yourself to feel and be better energetically.
As many of us heard and know about CHI or QI, which is energy, the word CHI is widely known and understood globally in many countries as of today. But how much do most of us know about CHI? I would reckon very few people really understood the concept of CHI. As most people focus too much on calories management from foods and diet, the understanding of how calories converts to ATP energy is vaguely understood and barely even scratch the surface of the entire understanding of how CHI energy is regulated and play a huge role in the human body.
Now, let's have some basic understanding of life and the universe flow of energetic field which evolve around everything on this planet earth. We as human are energetic beings and regulated by electrical and energy field, we are barely physical entity alone. In teachings of Ayurveda, chakras energy points exlained how the energy flow in the body, correlate with 7 rainbow colors, nature, and how each color relates to energy blockages or preservation in the body, mind and soul. In ancient Taoism, or now known as Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), three treasures are one of the most vital practice for thousands of years for optimal health and wellness. It is now being passed on and practice and taught by many practitioners and masters all over the world.
Let's talk a little bit about the well known Yellow's Emperor Classic of Internal Medicine manual. For some of us, we might have heard about it and read it. But very few people actual practice the teachings of the Yellow emperor and ancient Taoism. As most people have too much knowledge in the digital era, but unfortunately too little application in their daily lives. How about you? Did you apply what you know about health and wellness to your daily life?
Neijing, which is the Yellow Emperor classic medicine manual, consist of two sections. SuWen, explain and teach about fundamentals of organic and nature. LingShu, teaches the classic of acupuncture. As most people do not realize TCM is actually a practice largely from ancient Taoism and the Yellow Emperor manual was the core of the actual popularization of the entire teachings. For me, many of the teachings make sense to relate the universe with earth, nature and all living things on the planet. It is arguably the most interesting practical teachings one can absorb and apply in their daily life. In fact, many years ago, I was very skeptical about TCM and teachings of ancient Taoism. Until I fully understand and deep dive into what it is all about, it all become so clear of everything I read, learnt and trying to find out the answers I have been looking for all this while.
Before we go to the juicy interesting stuff, let me explain about the three treasures in the body. First, we have JING, which is also known as the principal energy, or reserved essence. Next, we have CHI, which many people know about this energy form, is the body most powerful energy, which is regarded as sexual energy. Lastly, we have SHEN, which is the spiritual energy, or also known as soul and spirit. Body, mind and soul concept derived from the western categorization reflect similar classification of JING, CHI and SHEN. For those who is totally clueless about this, please bare with me and continue reading.
The universe is filled with different kinds of dynamic energy, or 'CHI' The Tao, for each man is to creatively transform his energy over a course of a lifetime back to its original state of harmonious balance. Sexual essence, or 'JING' is a powerful, vital energy that is generated continuously within the human body. Both work together to feed and grow the soul and spirit, which is 'SHEN'.
Understanding the basics of these three energies in the body is one thing, but to allow oneself to have an open mind and absorb the knowledge is the most difficult barrier. First, mental and emotional blockages is usually the 1st roadblock for an individual to even allow him or her to try experience anything in life. Be it specific foods, new things to try, or even intimate or sexual physical practice. Without you giving yourself permission and removing most of the mental and emotional blockages, it will NEVER happen nor sucessful. For some people, it could be spiritual restrictions which prevent them from allowing and opening up the physical entity. In a nutshell, we as wild primate who has lived freely for thousands and even millions of years, have been largely 'locked' in an environment and cultural restrictions for most of our lifespan, but it is YOU, who will decide what you want to do to allow yourself to experience and try what's best for you and not others, and improve quality of your life, health and wellness into a whole new level you could never imagined.
