🌿REMEMBER, THE HERBS ARE YOUR ALLIES: The whole point of taking these magical herbs is that we’ve got strong, protected Essence (Jing) so we’re super physically healthy and robust so we can enjoy ourselves and not risk burning out or sacrificing our Essence in order to experience life at its fullest. Through building our Jing with lifestyle and the herbs, we can be that expression of ourselves who’s able to be out there staying athletic with the kids, or hitting up those abundant social obligations without getting exhausted (protect your sleep for this!)
These herbs, when they’ve got the Jing foundation, allow for a strong, open flow of Qi to run through the body and the organs. This is where we experience the vitality, and where your emotions can be felt and experienced and dealt with so that you develop and express your Shen (your virtuous nature i.e. compassion, patience, empathy, joy) easier and easier as you become healthier year by year.
Why am I going on about this? Because let’s be honest, this time of year tests everyone’s ability to go through this process as we get tested by the people you are might least likely to be virtuous towards, your family and your parents. So at this time of year, we take the herbs and keep up our healthy practices so we can keep a strong flow of Qi and expressing our Shen so we’re not assholes to these beautiful people. Rather, it’s a time of year to REALLY test and hone your ability to stay stable and aware of your inner process so you can stay centred. This is ultimately what the herbs are about long term.
