JingJing - Essence, what we are, that from which we are made, the soil from which Qi arises.
We are all born with a certain amount of Jing that pre-determines our longevity. Like the sand in an hourglass how we live our lives and support our bodies can quicken or slow the flow of sand in our hourglass |
QiQi - Energy, vitality, life force, the primal life force which penetrates every cell within the living body and activates it's vital functions.
Free flowing, strong Qi can optimize the function of the entire body. Inside our body Qi generates movement, heat, protects our cells and offers us energy to think, walk, speak and experience our deepest emotions |
ShenShen - The spirit of soul-encompassing all aspects of the mind, intent, awareness, cognition, thought and feeling.
Shen is the treasure that moves us to arise and begin the day. It provides our motivation, so our emotions are an important component to Shen. Even when the body's Jing Qi are present and activated without Shen there is no motivation to reap the satisfactions of life |
