The Shen is the Heart-Mind

The Shen is the Heart-Mind

  • Although different emotions (anger, joy, sadness, fear, guilt, etc) will affect the body’s organs in unique ways, those organs do not “feel” the emotion and, instead, reflect the impact of that emotion as perceived by the Heart in the form of physical symptoms.
  • In that sense, the Shen is referred to as the Heart-Mind, giving the old adage the heart has a mind of its own, a ring of truth.
  • Given the Shen’s role in processing interactions with others & external stimuli, all senses (eyesight, hearing, smell, taste, touch) depend on it for meaning just like how the brain is, in Western Medicine.
