Your 3 treasures contain specific aspects of your energy.

Your 3 treasures

The treasures are often compared to a candle that burns as long as you live.

Treasure 1

Jing is the basis of the candle and the wick. It is your physical constitution, your body and genetic material that you inherited from your parents. It also contains your deepest energy reservoir. The length and quality of the candle is crucial to your life. It is said that once Jing runs out, your candle has burned out and your life ends. So this is your first greatest treasure. It is difficult to restore Jing, but you can adopt a certain lifestyle so that you can keep your Jing for as long as possible.

Treasure 2

Qi, is the flame that burns. It is the energy that you experience in your daily life. Qi is connected to your Jing, the air your breath, the foods you eat, and more. Some ways to increase your Qi are: high quality food, good digestion, breathing exercises, healthy outside air, movement practises... Qi is your second treasure for a long, happy and healthy life.

Treasure 3

Shen, is the glow, light and warmth that the flame radiates. It is your mind and heart as one. You can also call it your soul. It is the invisible part of you. When your energy is charged and circulating properly, your mind heart lights up and your thoughts are wise and clear. Your soul radiates warmth and light. You have a kind of magical glow about you that goes beyond your body. This is your third treasure.
