Upholding the Medical Way ● Healing the World
In the fusion of traditional health wisdom and life philosophy, there exists a profound and subtle connection between qi (气) and xue (血) and fu bao (福报), which deeply influences our physical and mental health as well as the direction of our destiny.
Qi, as a symbol of life vitality, governs the circulation of blood. When qi is abundant and flows smoothly, blood also circulates freely through the meridians, providing sufficient nourishment to the body’s organs, resulting in strong limbs, a clear mind, and quick reactions, displaying vibrant life and energy. Conversely, if qi is insufficient or obstructed, the flow of blood will be sluggish, leading to a decrease in the body’s resistance, making it easy for pathogenic factors to invade, and various diseases may follow.
Moreover, the body and mind are interconnected and mutually influence each other. If the heart is in a cold and narrow state, such as harboring dissatisfaction, anger, or resentment towards others, it can lead to symptoms like palpitations, shortness of breath, weakness, and coldness in the body. This is not only a manifestation of qi and blood imbalance but also the beginning of diminished fu bao. Because without adjusting and cultivating the heart, negative emotions will gradually erode the positive energy of life, causing the body and mind to lose balance, which in turn affects the smoothness of life and the blessings one receives.
In family relationships, the balance of qi and blood is closely related to the harmony of the couple’s relationship. When qi flows smoothly, the family is harmonious, and harmony leads to prosperity in all matters. If a family is filled with quarrels and conflicts, and the flow of qi is obstructed, it will inevitably lead to family unrest, and the members’ fu bao will gradually deplete in such an inhospitable atmosphere. Only by creating a harmonious family atmosphere with love and tolerance can the balance of qi and blood be achieved, restoring the yin-yang balance and overflowing with blessings.
Both men and women may face issues of qi and blood imbalance. Men often resort to smoking and drinking as a way to relieve stress and anxiety, which, although not a good strategy, reflects their internal qi and blood imbalance and mental distress. Women’s menstrual issues and endocrine disorders are often related to coldness in the body, coldness in the heart, and insufficient self-nourishment. These remind us that paying attention to the nourishment of qi and blood is key to maintaining physical and mental health and accumulating fu bao.
Mr. Nan Huai-Chin pointed out that the happiest way to cultivate yang energy is to do good deeds. A single thought of goodwill towards others can fill the heart with joy, allowing yang energy to arise naturally. This yang energy not only harmonizes qi and blood but also brings good fortune and blessings to our lives. Because when yang energy is abundant, the body is healthy, and fortune flourishes. When facing adverse external influences or internal worries, we can quickly adjust the yin-yang frequency through simple methods such as pressing our palms together and deep breathing, restoring calmness to the body and mind and reducing energy loss.
At the same time, we should always be vigilant about our thoughts and words. Every thought is a seed, and every word carries energy. By adhering to positive energy thoughts and speaking words that benefit others, we can generate yang energy, enhance ourselves, and accumulate fu bao. As Mr. Wang Shanren said, true patience and tolerance can turn fate around, while forced endurance or harboring resentment can lead to illness. Living with a clear conscience, without owing anything to the body, family, or society, allows blessings to continuously grow, and the path of life becomes broader.
Qi and blood are closely linked to fu bao, and the yin-yang balance of body and mind is the cornerstone of achieving happiness and peace in life. We should start from the small details of daily life, cultivate our hearts and nature, nourish qi and blood, and embrace life with a positive attitude and actions to accumulate fu bao, allowing the tree of life to flourish under the nourishment of qi and the protection of fu bao, remaining evergreen through all seasons.
