As an element of the earth, the body is seen to be the vessel that contains our spirit/consciousness, our Shen.
Shen is the embodiment of our heavenly nature, while Jing and Qi are responsible for the structure and function of our physical form. The heart is the home of our Shen energy and if the heart is a calm and comfortable place for Shen to inhabit, then we will be calm, contented and have the potential to develop our higher consciousness through our daily activities, gaining wisdom as we go.
