The slow and steady development of inner wisdom, of connection to one's own truth and commitment to honouring that, is the beauty of Shen Essence.
The Daoist’s view the body as the bridge between Heaven and Earth, and use the framework of the Three Treasures to explain the relationship between what is above (Heaven) and what is below (Earth).
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.
Shen is expressed through the higher part of ourselves that sees life, and the situations and challenges we encounter, from a birds-eye view. Shen Essence allows us to go beyond reactivity into a space where we can gain an understanding of our lives beyond the physically identified ego. Allowing us to remember who we are, not only as spiritual beings but as physical beings too.
