“I Lost Too Much Jing”
People often write me saying they are old and weak and lost too much jing .. what shoudl they do?
taosim says to practice emptiness meditation and because one thereby cultivates shen (awareness without clinging), this will in time give rise to jing and chi. Why? Jing transforms into chi and chi into shen and vica versa.
For older people my teacher often recommended the Chinese medicine Liu Wei Di Huang Wang, which costs about $4 in any Chinese pharmacy, to help restore the debilitating effects from such loss in conjunction with old age.
Anything else? Some schools say to eat sesame seeds, which Chinese make into a tasty black soup. A Delicious desert we’d eat in Hong Kong all the time though I like Almond soup a little better.
The Indians say to eat pistachios and also the marrow from lamb bones.
Whatever you do, don’t eat the stimulating herbs with ginseng, oysters, etc. that stimulate but do not help renew the body.
