lauru the founder of Daoism and author

of Daoism's most sacred text the Daing

says to keep the body in good health is

a duty otherwise we shall not be able to

keep our mind strong and clear in Daoism

Chingqi and Chen are called the three

treasures of Daoism imagine your life as

a candle the three treasures are the

essential parts that keep it glowing

brightly

thing is the foundation of your energy

it's the core vitality you have from

before you were born tied to your

genetic potential and how you age ting

helps you deal with life stresses and

affects your physical strength mental

clarity and reproductive health dowists

believe it's mainly stored in your

kidneys and when it's strong you're

likely to enjoy a long healthy life but

as you lose jing over time you may

notice physical and mental decline as it

determines your vitality and

lifespan chi is the life force the

energy that flows through you keeping

everything in motion you breathe it in

with the air absorb it from your food

and feel it in your

environment chi moves through your body

in pathways called meridians which

connect your organs and systems chi is

like the flame of a candle always in

motion powering your movements thoughts

and

actions it can be fastm moving like the

yang energy dynamic and expansive or

slowm moving like yin energy calm and

nurturing the healthier your lungs and

spleen are the better your chi will

flow finally shun is your spirit mind

and emotions the light and warmth of the

candle it's what connects you to your

higher self to others and to life

itself shin represents love wisdom and

spiritual understanding when ting and

chi are in balance shin remains clear

and peaceful a strong shin nurtures

qualities like kindness empathy and

emotional balance we begin to treat

others with warmth and understanding

forgiving easily because we recognize

that holding on to grudges only harms

our own peace with strong shin we're

affected less by negative emotions and

more able to stay calm and centered this

emotional stability is a key part of a

high vibration this high vibration is

the positive energy you radiate when

you're feeling peaceful loving and

aligned with your higher self you become

more grounded kind and compassionate and

your energy lifts both you and the

people around you so how do these three

treasures work together picture your

candle

again sing is like the wax and wick

providing the foundation and potential

chi is the flame the active energy that

burns and shin is the light and warmth

the radiance of your spirit mind and

emotions just as a candle needs a steady

supply of wax and wick to keep its flame

burning we need to preserve our ting

nurture ourqi and cultivate our shin to

sustain our overall health vitality and

spiritual well-being when all three are

balanced you experience deep peace

spiritual enlightenment and a long

healthy life
