The Three Treasures in TCM

Jing Qi Shen is known as the Three Treasures in TCM.
“The bodily form is the residence of life; the Qi fills this life while Shen controls it. If either of them loses their proper position, they will all come to harm.” (1, tr. Englehart 2000:99)

This is beautiful. It reminds me in Chinese Medicine autumn is the season of letting go, and the leaves are a perfect example of how easy and important it is to do so.

I asked the leaf whether it was frightened because it was autumn and the other leaves were falling. The leaf told me, "No. During the whole spring and summer I was completely alive. I worked hard to help nourish the tree, and now much of me is in the tree. I am not limited by this form. I am also the whole tree, and when I go back to the soil, I will continue to nourish the tree. So I don’t worry at all. As I leave this branch and float to the ground, I will wave to the tree and tell her, 'I will see you again very soon'."

That day there was a wind blowing and, after a while, I saw the leaf leave the branch and float down to the soil, dancing joyfully, because as it floated it saw itself already there in the tree. It was so happy. I bowed my head, knowing that I have a lot to learn from the leaf.
