Welcome the new blend from SuperFeast: QI BLEND 💥🕯 When we consume a nourishing diet the Spleen is able to harvest an abundance of Qi and send it to be combined with the Qi we inhale when drawing breath deeply into the Lungs. This is our daily Qi. Once created, this Qi is sent to the surface of our body to protect us (the Yang expression), and through the meridians to nourish the inner organs (the Yin expression). 💥If the Spleen and Lung systems are functioning well, the body is able to operate solely on this daily currency of Qi, rather than drawing on its deeper reserves (Jing). Running on Qi, not Jing, in our daily lives is a key factor to the longevity of our health and subsequent happiness. 💥Too often in the West we see that people, throughout their lives, have burned the candle at both ends; not sleeping properly, relying on stimulants, will power and societal pressure to push through their days and life. 💥When we choose/need to rely on these types of external stimulus, especially in excess, it shows that we are not living sustainably and not allowing our system to recharge. Living in this way means that in order to animate our body and thoughts, and to get through the day, we are drawing on our longevity reserve or “savings account”, our Jing essence. Doing so is a classic formula for early onset aging and overall degeneration in the body. 💥The Taoists had the intention and wisdom to design lifestyles that enabled them to retain rather than “leak” this Jing essence so that they would not burn through their foundational life essence early and begin degenerating. This is pretty important stuff as Jing essence governs libido, cell reproduction, tissue healing and genetic potential. In fact the Taoists developed philosophies and practices not only to retain Jing but to further accumulate it. Practices which relied heavily on the cultivation of adequate daily Qi so Jing stores were not drawn on excessively. 💥 🕯 💥 #qiblend #qi #tao #taoism #tao #herbalblend #qienergy #chi #tcm #taoist #tonicherbs #medicinalmushrooms #herbal #herbs #superfeast #ditao #beyondorganic
