Chinese Medicine Philosophy: Shanggu Tianzhen Lun - Guarding the Spirit Within, Where Can Illness Come From?



There is another timeless quote in the *Shanggu Tianzhen Lun*: "Be tranquil and empty, true qi follows; guard the spirit within, where can illness come from?"

This means:
With a tranquil heart and few desires, true qi will flow smoothly;
Guarding the spirit within and not dissipating it outward, where can illness come from?

Chinese medicine speaks of "the seven emotions causing internal injury" - anger harms the liver, excessive joy harms the heart, overthinking harms the spleen, grief harms the lungs, and fear harms the kidneys.

Excessive emotional fluctuations directly injure the five organs.

Therefore, the highest level of health preservation is not about taking many supplements, but about cultivating the mind -
Fewer desires, less anger, less worry. When the mind is calm, qi flows smoothly;
When qi flows smoothly, illness stays far away.

Chasing rises and selling off on dips is due to fear, unwillingness, and...
