They are called Shen\u2019s aspects.<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>My Chinese Medicine studies are progressing fast.&nbsp;The second year is the toughest, because not only there\u2019s the clinical training but also so much new to learn&nbsp;and adapt&nbsp;this year.&nbsp;It means a lot of new things to remember.&nbsp;Chinese Medicine&nbsp;as a whole&nbsp;is huge,&nbsp;and&nbsp;there\u2019s plenty to study for the rest of your life. To be able to digest new information and&nbsp;make&nbsp;progress, you need to learn the basics first. This year, I decided to write articles about some of my studies on my blog, because writing eases and deepens my own learning.&nbsp;I also believe you might find&nbsp;it quite interesting.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In the first article I will be writing about&nbsp;<em>Shen\u2019s aspects.<\/em>&nbsp;The text is heavily based on the book&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.adlibris.com\/fi\/kirja\/lohikaarmeen-laaketiede-9789526744919\">Lohik\u00e4\u00e4rmeen l\u00e4\u00e4ketiede<\/a> by <strong>Elina Hyt\u00f6nen<\/strong> and study materials of&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/kiinalainenlaaketiede.fi\/\">Kiinalaisen l\u00e4\u00e4ketieteen akatemia<\/a>&nbsp;(Finnish Academy of the Traditional Chinese Medicine) from which I have combined my own notes to support my studies.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>The&nbsp;Vital Substances<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>In Chinese Medicine there are five vital substances. The well-being and function of the human body, mind, feelings and soul is dependent on the easy availability of these five vital substances. They are called&nbsp;<em>Qi, Blood, Jing (Essence)<\/em>,&nbsp;<em>Shen<\/em> and&nbsp;<em>Jin Ye (Body Fluids)<\/em>. In this article, I will focus on Shen and its five aspects.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Shen is a difficult word to translate but usually it means \u201cspirit\u201d or \u201cmind\u201d. Shen is born at the time of conception which is why it belongs to&nbsp;<em>Prenatal Qi<\/em>&nbsp;(which means the time before birth). Shen represents the deepest self-awareness and uniqueness. Shen is what makes us an individual, says Elina Hyt\u00f6nen in her book.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Shen is present in everything conscious and unconscious in human life, for example it keeps an eye on the development of organs in a fetus. It decides the vitality, basic condition and development of a person. Shen lives in the Heart and is aware of everything that happens in the person\u2019s organs and body. (In Chinese Medicine for example organs start with a capital letter because it is believed that they have countless amounts of other functions compared to western medicine. The spelling outlines this difference.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You can see the presence of Shen from the shine of a person\u2019s eyes and face. The shine is called&nbsp;<em>Shen Ming<\/em>&nbsp;(the word&nbsp;<em>Ming<\/em>&nbsp;means shine but also brightness and clearness). You can see Shen as brightness in the eyes and as clearness in the skin when the body, mind and soul are in harmony and the person feels well.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" src=\"https:\/\/katjakokko.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/katjaBYkaapo-7643-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-42425\" srcset=\"https:\/\/katjakokko.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/katjaBYkaapo-7643-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/katjakokko.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/katjaBYkaapo-7643-320x180.jpg 320w, https:\/\/katjakokko.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/katjaBYkaapo-7643-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/katjakokko.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/katjaBYkaapo-7643-800x450.jpg 800w, https:\/\/katjakokko.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/katjaBYkaapo-7643-1536x864.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/katjakokko.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/katjaBYkaapo-7643-2048x1152.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/katjakokko.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/katjaBYkaapo-7643-640x360.jpg 640w, https:\/\/katjakokko.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/katjaBYkaapo-7643-1200x675.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/katjakokko.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/katjaBYkaapo-7643-1920x1080.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>The Five Shen<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>In Chinese Medicine one significant part of the inseparable link between the body and mind is each organ\u2019s own physical, spiritual and mental aspect. Together these aspects form&nbsp;\u201cthe Shen\u201d.&nbsp;There are five of these aspects:<em>&nbsp;Hun, Po, Zhi, Yi&nbsp;<\/em>and <em>Shen of the Heart.&nbsp;<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Hun \u2013&nbsp;the vision provider&nbsp;that&nbsp;resides in the Liver<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>One of the five Shen is Hun \u2013 the&nbsp;ethereal soul that lives in the Liver.&nbsp;Hun is already present in the person before birth. It leaves the body after death and goes to Heaven together with Shen. The energy of Hun is very much yang, so it\u2019s light and&nbsp;tries to go upwards and expand. For this reason, it needs the Liver-Yin who anchors it and brings peace for Hun.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Hun relates to imagination, visions and dreaming. The Hun plays a part in our dreaming, subconsciousness, creativity, visions, finding our goals and the meaning of life, and in the courage to fulfill our ideas. Hun moves at night and, it is said that when we sleep the Huns&nbsp;(there are three of them)&nbsp;\u201cmeet\u201d and travel to \u201canother world\u201d from where they deliver messages to us via dreams. The disturbances of the Hun are related to restless sleep, excessive dreaming, sleepwalking, and also Liver problems. When the Liver Blood is plentiful, the Hun is peaceful, and the person sleeps well.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If Shen is too weak to \u201cassemble\u201d the Hun, our good ideas are useless, and our projects won\u2019t happen. When the Hun moves too much it causes manic behaviour, and the mind can be confused and chaotic. In turn, when the Hun doesn\u2019t move enough it causes depression, and the person can be without goals and dreams.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"684\" src=\"https:\/\/katjakokko.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/katja_valitut-7668-1024x684.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-42427\" srcset=\"https:\/\/katjakokko.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/katja_valitut-7668-1024x684.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/katjakokko.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/katja_valitut-7668-320x214.jpg 320w, https:\/\/katjakokko.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/katja_valitut-7668-768x513.jpg 768w, https:\/\/katjakokko.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/katja_valitut-7668-800x534.jpg 800w, https:\/\/katjakokko.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/katja_valitut-7668-1536x1026.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/katjakokko.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/katja_valitut-7668-2048x1368.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/katjakokko.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/katja_valitut-7668-640x427.jpg 640w, https:\/\/katjakokko.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/katja_valitut-7668-1200x801.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/katjakokko.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/katja_valitut-7668-1920x1282.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Po \u2013&nbsp;the corporeal soul that&nbsp;resides in the Lungs<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>The Po is associated with Yin and it comes from the Earth unlike the other Shen\u2019s aspects that come from Heaven. The Po (there are seven of them) stays alive only while the person is alive, so it\u2019s connected to the body. The Po is known as the \u201ccorporeal soul\u201d that\u2019s connected to body functions, senses, respiration, heart rate, digestion, and keeping the person alive.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Po is mainly active during the day and in a way makes sure we don\u2019t hurt ourselves. The Po also helps the person to accommodate different situations. The Po is closely linked to Jing (Essence). The Po helps Jing move so that it can nourish all the body\u2019s functions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Po is also associated with the senses. It helps the person to feel physical sensations and to hear and see. Pain and itching of the skin are felt by the Po, which explains why we can see changes in our feelings in our skin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" src=\"https:\/\/katjakokko.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/katja_valitut-0006347-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-42429\" srcset=\"https:\/\/katjakokko.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/katja_valitut-0006347-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/katjakokko.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/katja_valitut-0006347-320x240.jpg 320w, https:\/\/katjakokko.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/katja_valitut-0006347-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/katjakokko.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/katja_valitut-0006347-800x600.jpg 800w, https:\/\/katjakokko.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/katja_valitut-0006347-1536x1152.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/katjakokko.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/katja_valitut-0006347-2048x1536.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/katjakokko.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/katja_valitut-0006347-640x480.jpg 640w, https:\/\/katjakokko.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/katja_valitut-0006347-1200x900.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/katjakokko.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/katja_valitut-0006347-1920x1440.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Zhi \u2013 willpower&nbsp;that&nbsp;resides in the Kidneys<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Huns and Pos are spiritual beings, Zhi and Yi are mental instead. Zhi lives in the Kidneys, is&nbsp;Prenatal Qi,&nbsp;and it gives the person a drive to be alive. Zhi represents willpower and is considered to be the force that helps the person to achieve his goals. The willpower of the Kidneys represents orderliness in life, the Gallbladder is connected to daily decision making instead.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In addition to will, Zhi is connected to a sense of direction, orderliness and resilience. Zhi is also responsible for remembering events from the recent past.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The word \u201cZhi\u201d means will, wish, aim and aspiration. A person can be called wise when he has strength, ability, wit and skill to live and do his job well. A person also needs to have willpower that helps him to reach his goals. However, too much ambition wears Zhi out.
