SHEN - SPIRIT
The third treasure of our body, the spirit, but unlike western traditions in Daost thinking Shen is the combination of spirit, heart and mind, through different practices like standing or sitting meditation we cultivate it so to become aware of our connection with our nature and so achieve the greatest of all feats in daoist traditions, to return to the Dao.
