San Jiao - The Three Treasures
In humans, practitioners distinguish different manifestations of Chi that circulate through the bio-energetic landscape.
To describe the different forms of chi that animate a human, the San Jiao or three treasures represent a key concept.
Jieng Chi - Essential energy
Ren Chi - Human energy
Shen Chi - Spirit energy
The three treasures are inter-related and function as an integrated feedback system:
Jieng nourishes Ren, Ren nourishes Shen;
Shen directs Ren, Ren directs Jieng.
