The connotation of spirit

1. Essence is the essence of human body and the foundation of life.

Essence is divided into congenital essence and acquired essence. The innate essence is the seed of life inherited from parents, and the acquired essence is the life substance that we supplement and cultivate through diet, breathing and exercise. Essence can be turned into anger, and qi can be turned into spirit. To protect the spirit, we should abstain from abstinence, diet, labor and speech, and avoid excessive consumption and damage to energy.

2. Qi is the breath of human body and the motive force of life.

Qi is divided into congenital qi and acquired qi. The innate qi is the fetal qi that we share with our mother, and the acquired qi is the qi of heaven and earth that we absorb and operate through breathing, diet and exercise. Qi can flow all over the body, regulate the balance of yin and yang, and maintain life activities.

3. God is the soul of human body and life.

God is divided into the first god and the second god. The innate God is the nature and talent that we share with our parents, and the acquired God is the wisdom and morality that we cultivate and enhance through learning, thinking and feeling. God can dominate consciousness, affect thoughts and feelings, and determine behavior and character. To cultivate God, we should learn, think, reflect, be grateful, be dedicated, cultivate one's morality, be upright, and avoid ignorance and evil thoughts.
