What is Shen?
Shen is the least tangible, yet most spiritual of the Three Treasures, and is a
very subtle energy. It is Yang in nature and flows upward with a fire-like quality.
As with the other facets of the San Bao, Shen can be cultivated, this time through
meditation and the tranquil forms of Chi Kung.
It is associated with the Liver and the Heart, and when the Chi from these two sources combine harmoniously they produce
Shen. When these organs are out of balance the Shen becomes unsettled, leading to
restlessness and agitation of the Mind. All mental health illnesses are seen as
diseases or imbalances of the Shen.
"Shen is the sparkle in the eye of the wise, the substance of sentience, intuition
and wisdom."
Shen is increased through meditation in any form of introspective exercise such
as meditation. However, it is lost when we spend too much time and energy looking
outside to the materialistic world and it should be noted that the ego destroys
the Shen.
The Shen is stored in the Upper Dan
Tien (Yin Tang), flows through the
Exceptional Vessels, and unless stopped through meditation and introspection
it is lost through the eyes.
