Who doesn't want to feel well enough in mind & body that they don't have to rely on synthetic compounds to make them feel content just being?
Now I am not saying whether I only advocate the use of plants but for me these days I only value the use of plants to find wellness.
With that said some plants can actually pull energy out of you even if they serve as medicinal in any kind of way. Needless to say synthetic chemicals cannot build one's energy holistically as there will always be some kind of energy draining due to them not being a creation of Mother Earth but rather man's intellect. I am talking about building up the Three Treasures according to Traditional Chinese Medicine, translate how you want if you are drawn to Ayruveda however my focus will be on Chinese herbalism and energy harnessing practices.
While I cannot encourage one to use psychoactive entheogenic psychedelic type plants due to a spiritual path I am walking I can talk about them and share parts of articles and videos in future posts.
Call me Meister Herbal if you like.
Ok so actually He Shou Wu and Ba Duan Jin (8 Silken Brocades, a qigong set) will be merely introduced in today's entry and I will go into further detail about them including how they play a role in my daily life tomorrow.
For anyone reading this who still wants to after making it past the first two entries, please know I wish to show you my experience finding wellness so you can as well if you seek it and perhaps avoid pitfalls in your journey exploring altered states if you are on such a journey already. Wellness is a superb base to continue such a journey even more lucidly too.
I memorized that video actually before adding enough repetitions to each movement to perform 10 of each.
It was created by Bodhidharma over a thousand years ago. If you aren't into yoga (I was years ago not anymore however this can be seen as a Chinese "yoga" whereas Yoga is strictly Indian with Hindu spiritual roots) it is the only other energy practice in the world that can rival the energetic benefits. We are talking energy of the universe not man-made.
I feel like I am messing up in my life if that doesn't get practiced daily today that is how much I value it. No one else on YouTube actually explains the theory behind the movements like Mimi does however I don't know her nor am I promoting her so I will be sharing videos from other qigong practitioners too.
Short intro to He Shou Wu:
He Shou Wu is unsurpassed in its ability to provide deep, primordial energy (Jing, essence) to the cells of the body via the Kidney system as described in Chinese health philosophy. He Shou Wu supports the human body's functional reserve.
He Shou Wu is widely used in Chinese tonic herbalism as a tonic to promote healthy aging by tonifying the Kidney and Liver functions, toning up Jing (vital essence), nourishing the blood, and fortifying the muscles, tendons and bones.
Essentially no other herb can build Jing in the manner this one does.
Unfortunately I cannot share sources as that would appear to be marketing however use discernment and you will see what the best available is or hopefully you can find the discernment too if it appeals to you.
It is said to also support dopamine and I just could not feel ok without it not taking something else to make me feel "full" and satiated inside. The real benefits take months of using daily. Being a tonic herb it can be taken for life.
