What is the HUN?

Yesterday, I touched briefly on the HUN energy of the FIVE Spirits according to Chinese Shamanism.

HUN, the ethereal soul is LIVER Yin.  It is about finding your livelihood.  If someone is not doing or being in their right livelihood they become unbalanced.  Unbalanced can lead to frustration and/or anger. How does one feel when they are doing something that they don’t want to do?  Energy may become pent-up.  Sometimes this may lead to anxiety causing insomnia.  The LIVER Energy is not rested.  It will invade the whole body including the digestion system.  One may become relentlessly fatigue…or the HUN spirit becomes rootless and leaves the body.  Thus, depression may come about.  Hello, is anyone in this body?

What can one do about this?  See a Chinese Medicine Practitioner is the easiest answer as the area on the back of the body is called the HUN gate, but can be very difficult to find it on one’s self.
