The five organs harbor the five gods, and the five organs are closely related to human spiritual activities.
The Heart hides the Spirit, the Liver the Soul, the Spleen the Will, the Lung the Prana, and the Kidneys the Will and Essence.
The heart hides the spirit. We often say “learn with your heart”, but no one says “learn with your brain”, which actually means that the cognitive and thinking processes are actually controlled by the heart, not the brain.
The brain is only a learning tool.
The ancients were wise enough to discover the inner mysteries of the human body long ago, which is why idioms such as “absent-mindedness” and “mindlessness” appeared to describe inner activities.
The Liver is the soul. The “soul” refers to the activities of the attention and subconscious mind.
We often say that the soul is distracted, meaning that one’s attention is scattered and unable to focus on one thing.
Speaking of attention, this reminds me of when I was doing children’s attention training more than ten years ago, why those behavioral training and brain training worked well for some children and not so well for others.
Now that I understand some Chinese medicine theories, I am thinking that there are probably some physical reasons for those children who are not very effective, while our education basically focuses on the brain and behavior.
It seems like a worthwhile direction to study this issue from a TCM perspective.
The spleen harbors intent. “Yi” means thinking. People
People often say that excessive thinking hurts the spleen. Those who can’t sleep at night and are always thinking about things, his spleen will definitely not be healthy, and over time, his qi and blood will definitely not be full, and he will be prone to forgetfulness and slowness.
Visible and there is no overuse of the brain will be bad brain said, the brain is the more you use the more flexible, on the contrary, the spleen can not withstand our tossing.
The lungs harbor the prana. The term “prana” refers to the instinctive sensory function and feedback ability to external information, such as hearing, vision, skin sensation and these low-level mental activities.
There is an idiom called “the soul flies and the prana scatters”, which of course means that the soul is no longer able to concentrate, and the prana scatters means that it is no longer able to feel any external information.
In other words, the person’s internal and external mental activities are affected.
If you ask someone who has experienced this kind of situation what just happened, he will not be very clear about it.
He will definitely say, “I was so shocked and confused that I didn’t see anything clearly and didn’t know anything.
The Kidneys store Chi and Essence. Here Chi and Essence refer to will and memory.
A person with insufficient Kidney energy should not be expected to have any great ambition, and will generally show sluggishness, weak will, and easy forgetfulness.
Those who are older often suffer from forgetfulness due to a deficiency of Kidney Essence.
The health of the five organs can also be reflected from their respective orifices.
The heart opens to the tongue. Although the tongue is not an orifice, it is connected to the heart chakra, which means that we can observe the health of the heart from the condition of the tongue.
As we said earlier, a red tongue, tongue ulceration, these are all signs of fire in the heart.
If the tongue is white, it is of course insufficient qi and blood ah, because the heart is the main blood.
The liver opens the orifices of the eyes. Liver and eyes have a close relationship.
If a person has jaundice hepatitis, the first reaction from the eyes, the whites of his eyes must be yellow.
People often say eat more pig liver bright eyes is so come.
The spleen opens the orifices in the mouth, and its splendor is in the lips. A person’s spleen function is good or not, often from the lips and tongue response.
Spleen main transportation, you eat into the things digested how, how to absorb, all rely on the spleen said.
The lung opens the orifice of the nose. This is something I know very well. Every time the rhinitis is committed, the lungs are always accompanied by bad, coughing, phlegm will appear together.
Kidneys open the orifices in the ears and the front and back of the two yin. If one’s kidneys are not good, one’s hearing will decline.
When the kidneys are not good, the ability to reproduce will be affected. The anterior yin refers to reproduction and the posterior yin refers to excretion.
Therefore, the lack of kidney qi not only affects the reproduction Oh, if your bowel movements are not normal, you should also look for the reason from the kidney.
Injuries to the five organs
Our five organs in addition to the five forms of mutual reinforcement, the imbalance of yin and yang caused injury, but also afraid of us man-made injury.
Worrying and thinking hurts the heart; anger hurts the liver; too much anxiety and satiety hurts the spleen; cold and drinking hurts the lungs; lifting heavy weights and sitting in wetlands hurts the kidneys, and fear of not being in control hurts the will, which is what is known as the seven injuries in traditional Chinese medicine.
The Yellow Emperor’s Classic of Internal Medicine (HUNDI NEIJING) says: “Prolonged vision injures the blood, prolonged lying injures the qi, prolonged sitting injures the flesh, prolonged standing injures the bones, prolonged walking injures the tendons.
This is the five labor. Visible what we usually do, what have to be moderate.
All day to brush the phone to watch TV can not, a sleep more than ten hours can not, the old sitting still can not, stand for a long time also can not, now people do not move on the walk up one or two million steps, a long time will hurt the tendons and bones.
