The SuperFeast SHEN blend is a premium formulation of the most prized Shen herbs of the Daoist tradition. These are herbs that have been traditionally used, along with practices such as meditation, to cultivate our wisdom, higher consciousness, and allow our Spirit to shine bright. The SHEN formula contains a collection of herbs that both stabilise and tone Shen, along with others that nourish Qi, as well as those that build and move Blood. In Chinese philosophy, Shen is said to be ever present and rule over our lives naturally. However, if we allow ourselves to become stuck in a state of stress and imbalance, the emotions and ego will compete for dominance, causing our Shen to withdraw and become hidden. Shen stabilising herbs act to steady the emotions so they can play out without becoming dominant, allowing the Shen to feel safe and emerge with ease. Shen tonics directly encourage Shen to “crack” through the body and express itself. When working to enhance our capacity to harness Shen energy, it is imperative that we nourish our Jing and Qi, as the Shen requires a body (Jing) to sustain itself and radiate/shine through (Qi). Blood building herbs support the body’s foundational Essence or Jing and nourish the Wood energy of the Liver, the organ responsible for cleansing, storing and creating our Blood. While Blood moving herbs and Qi tonics encourage the smooth flow of Qi throughout the organs and meridians. This is an extremely important action as Blood follows Qi and Shen is carried via the Blood.
