The Three Treasures of the Body are Jing, Qi and Shen. There are two forms of Jing. Yang Jing or pre-heaven Jing is the basic energy of the body, the power of birth. Yin Jing or post-heaven Jing is the essence of food and water. Qi has two forms: pre-heaven or Yuan Qi is associated with the Kidney Yang Qi, and Zhen or post-heaven Qi which has Yin and Yang manifestations. Zhen Qi comes from air, food and water. Shen also has two forms: Yuan Shen or original spirit and Shi Shen or intelligence.
The road to immortality starts with transmuting Jing to Qi, Qi to Shen and returning the Shen to the Void and uniting the Void with the Tao.
How to start? Be still, look within. Wu Wei Er Wu Bu Wei – stop emotion, be happy, save Jing. They say Qi Gong will be the science of the 21st/22nd centuries. Qi Gong includes many healing methods or arts such as:
• Bu Qi – emit Qi to heal others, to give without expecting return.
• Herbal Medicine – Traditional Chinese Medicine – the key is to balance Qi.
• Acupuncture – based on the 20 meridians – 12 primary and 8 minor, 720 points.
• Dem Ma – Martial Arts healing – dangerous! 24 hour circuit of Qi – 2 hours per meridian within specific timing – you halt the body clock through Qi application to specific points.
• Acupressure – mental Qi application
• Massage – physical – Tui Na hands on massage and Qi Gong Tui Na with hands off.
• Tai Chi
• Pien Fang – unusual prescription: such as steaming the legs with herbs to relieve issue, urine on bee stings, raw potato juice for constipation.
Qi is the life force or vital force. Jing is the essence of the body, the power of life. Yin Jing transmutes to Yang Jing. Food and water transmute to blood, flow to the heart to the Ren Channel and to Yin Jing. Yin Jing then moves to the ovaries/testes and becomes egg/sperm. Nutrition is the key to life.
We heal with Yuan Qi. Every healing is a “self-suicide” because it uses our pre-heaven Qi. We must rebuild the Qi. If we take care of our Jing then we are okay.
To save Jing be still.
To save Jing - Wu Wei – do nothing – Er Wu Bu Wei – and leave nothing undone. Smile more. Transmuting Jing to Qi is the first level.
Suppression of original spirit causes depression, anger. Anger goes to the liver, grief to the lung, sadness to the stomach, fear to the kidneys. Let go of the emotion, let go of fear, let go of attachment, let go of sadness, let go of anger. Then you are virtuous to yourself.
The motion during meditation is the Jing transmuting to Qi. Healing without medicine!
Be stillness, look inside, stop. Free emotion, let go of ego, accept the nature of self and follow the flow of life. Are you a practitioner or an observer? Take action now. Life is full of joy.
The original spirit gives you messages during sleep and dreams. It sneaks out of the back room. When Jing is very strong you can remember your dreams. Jing and Qi are the water for the fish – the spirit. Stop emotional, physical and spiritual abuse. The original nature of mankind is kindness. First you must learn to be kind to yourself. Then you can be kind to others. Accept your grief or sorrow, your emotions, so that you can let them go. Admit you have the emotion. Accept your nature. Be a practitioner, take action, get on the path. Be a master of the game of life. Enjoy it.
Stillness is the body. The ocean is not equal to the wave, the ocean is equal to stillness. Stillness is the origin of the Tao, of the cosmos. Can you find the moment of stillness?
