Used for thousands of years and arguably the most revered tonic herb in the east, reishi has been used to assist with insomnia, cholesterol issues, asthma, anxiety, stress and to lengthen life.
While the physiological benefits of incorporating this beautiful adaptogen into your life are endless, it's the lesser tangible effects that are really getting us wild at the moment. And by wild, we mean zen AF. Reishi is a powerful Shen tonic and is often lovingly referred to as the mushie of spiritual potentiation.
Shen is one the Three Treasures, along with Qi and Jing. While reishi tones all Three Treasures, it is predominately a Shen tonic; it's heart heavy. Let it be known, by toning all Three Treasures, it starts to become apparent pretty darn quick how magical this mushie is.
These treasures basically govern health, both physically and spiritually:
🔮Jing: essence, foundational, from birth
✨Qi: energy, breath, attitude, day-to-day
📿Shen: spirit, awareness, mental health, your shiny-ness, the heart houses your Shen
Your Shen is your spirit coming forth, allowing you to have a balanced interpretation of the world, a strong personal evolution, the ability to healthily explore and release/evolve your emotions and the opportunity to grow your innate wisdom. Translated as our 'higher consciousness', Shen allows the beautiful virtues of acceptance, tolerance and forgiveness come forth.
