Understanding unconscious resistance to life.

This is a short talk on post natal (personality) resistance or unconscious resistance to life, and how to understand where it comes from. It also tackles how to have compassion for oneself when experiencing it. I also share ways of gently dissolving it. This audio is a great introduction to the 5  Jing/Shen, or what the Taoist call the 5 body gods.  These are 5 streams of consciousness that makeup what most people identify as themselves. The personality with its often conflicting different inner voices.

Fusion of the 5 JingShen (Emotional Alchemy) is one of the essential  Inner Alchemy Soul cultivation practices.

In the spiritual code of existence, the five body spirits encapsulate the essence of holistic being. Po, the corporeal soul, embodies the vessel’s materiality and life force. Hun, the ethereal soul, transcends the tangible, tethered to consciousness and the subtle realms. Shen, the spirit, radiates from the heart, manifesting as emotions and elevated cognition. Yi, the intellect, aligns with the spleen, governing thoughts and decisions. Zhi, the will, emanates from the kidneys, empowering determination.

Together, this spiritual code weaves a tapestry of interconnected energies, harmonizing the physical and metaphysical realms to orchestrate the symphony of a balanced and enlightened existence.
