SHEN
Shen is most commonly translated as “spirit”. To best describe Shen, we should consider its function in relation to the other substances. Think of it this way: Jing is the source of life, Qi the force that activates and provides motion, and Shen is the energy serving Jing and Qi. Shen also governs human personality and the mind. A common saying in Chinese medicine is: “Shen is the awareness that shines out of our eyes when we are truly awake.” In Shen it is believed that the biofield is an inherent component of all living beings. Shen has shown that working directly With the core of the body is usually far more potent. Shen flows are designed to pass through the emotional core of the body in patterns that will release trapped, painful emotion. Shen is very effective with emotional empowerment and relieving disabling physio-emotional conditions. In Shen it is believed that problems in the body are reflected into the aura and that the best place to work with them is in the body. Shen is a series of non-invasive touch relaxation procedures which when applied helps to release trapped painful emotions directly from the body. When tensions are dissolved, their effect on the local body region inside them also ends, the glands and organs in that region become free to function normally. As these tensions cease, quite dramatic reductions in chronic pain and other primary symptoms often occur.
