When the spirit is strong we are healthy, inspired, bright and happy.
We are alive and feel fully alive when we have spirit. Also circulating within us is our spirit. We have a physical body and we have our breath. Shen 神 Spirit deity, divinity soul wonderful, marvelous, awe-inspiring. For our purposes here lets use the definition of dao as the patterns inherent in nature. This is the dao or a natural pattern for a human being. And even birth, life and death which are natural patterns where ever we look. Perhaps phases of our natural life adolescent, young adult, adult, elder. Or the seasons of the year Winter, Spring, Summer and Fall. Like morning, noon evening and night phases of the day. But in a simple way it means “Natural Pattern”. Whole classics have been written about it like the Dao De Jing. For now it is the sky and all those environmental elements around and above our bodies.ĭao 道 is about as mysterious and vast as it comes. Later angels, mythic beings (Perseus, Cassiopeia, Orion) and spirits were naturally attributed to the heavens. It takes the form of a celestial dome or sphere. There is a roundness to this space above our heads. And further up as the sun, moon, planets and stars in the night sky. The morning sunrise, the color of the clouds, the pending weather on the horizon. For the ancient people the heavens were above the human beings and all the creatures standing on the earth looking up into the sky. Tien 天 means Heaven, sky natural world, natural order, supreme power. We can understand the meaning of this and the effect of the exercises by looking at the meaning of each word itself. One of the qigong forms we practice is entitled Tien Dao Shen Ming.
