Traditional Chinese philosophies believe that this is our innate life force energy (Jing) that is passed through from our ancestors up until our mother whom passed it on to us
We are born with Jing which we need to nurture through our life, so preserving it is vitally important. It is energy stored in the kidneys and reproductive organs that is the essence of new life and the balance of spiritual grounding. Jing is the “spiritual cultivation” for a happy healthy wholesome life.
See it as the “trust fund” for your entire life you live. We cutlivate our day to day energy with sustinance and self care motives, but when hit with deep trauma, physical injury or just a major joilt in life we tend to dip into our trust fund energy. And this is ok in the short term as this is our power bank energy, but not as easily replaced. Therefore it is so important to heal, rest, recovery, self soothe, otherwise this incredible life force can quickly be depleted and so will our vital levels of longevity.
Draining this force can bring on such symptoms as accelerated aging, poor digestion, lower immune system, fatigue, reproductive organ problems, depressions and anxiety and low energy.
