Here’s how to understand JING and “RUNNING ON EMPTY”…
In Taoist tonic herbalism, think of your Kidney/Jing energy like a bank account, and your energy/life force like money…
Your bank account (Jing) holds the money (energy), and is responsible for withdrawals and deposits…
You then save up, and spend your money as you need…
A healthy bank account does not stay the same all the time.
It constantly fluctuates…
In fact, every single day the numbers are going up and down.
Sometimes the account runs low, other times its in a state of overflow…
If you are chronically over spending, what is going to happen to your bank account…?
It will run dry, and eventually go into debt.
That is what running on empty feels like…
We spend more energy than we replenish, and our bank account goes to “zero”…
Over time, overspending leaves you feeling tired and run down.
Just like pulling yourself out of financial debt, rebuilding your energy is a journey…
It requires daily effort to reduce unnecessary spending (stress, over work, etc), and begin saving more money (resting, meditation, good food, etc).
We have created a powerful blend, based on ancient Chinese herbal wisdom for this reason.
This blend is designed to be like a high interest savings account…
It is traditionally used to nourish Kidney Jing, as understood in Taoist tonic herbalism, to help you “save up” your energy…
Here's Another Way To Look At Running On Empty...
The thing is, feeling “drained” is not just one thing.
That is because it’s a spectrum…
From “tired” to completely “spent”…
When we are a little tired, we can replenish fairly easily. Especially with good daily habits & guidance…
When we are completely spent, it can take a long time to feel like ourselves again…
Feeling completely spent is the result of years, sometimes decades, of burning the candle at both ends…
Feeling tired is less severe.
This being said, both take away from the quality of our life…
And for BOTH, daily care makes a real difference.
Here’s how to start right away:
- Diet - Eat high fat, high protein meals, with less focus on starches & sugar.
- Relax - Learn how to switch OFF the “doing” via meditation, breathing and intention (more on that in our BIO)
- Express & feel your emotions - Suppressed and stuck emotions can weigh on you. Working through them can lighten the load.
- Try our “Restored Essence” formula - This tonic blend is made specially for those who feel run down. It is traditionally used to replenish your life force. Many of our customers enjoy it as part of their daily routine.
