Your Self and Your Health: Yang Water (Ren) People





Life lessons can come upon us at any time in our lives, some of which we can learn from our bodies. 

Our bodies firmly connect us with the pure essence of life, as depicting in an ancient Latin phrase is: A healthy body houses a healthy mind. Our constitution is determined at birth – it makes some individuals healthy and unaware of their bodies while others can instinctively pick up on some health issues from time due to being in touch with their bodies.

In a series of blog posts, we have examined the Self and its vital link to health. This post focuses on the Ren Self.

The Bladder meridian influences all Ren people.

The Bladder stores and excretes the fluids passed down from the kidneys, but it is also closely related to the autonomous nervous system.

When imbalanced, the Bladder can negatively affect one’s morals, causing indecisiveness, fear, and misjudgment as well as bringing out jealousy and suspicion.

Physical imbalances to look out for are stiff neck back pains, frontal headaches, insomnia or sleep disturbances, high blood pressure and continually running to the urinals. Energetic disturbances in the Bladder meridian involve anxiety, harbouring old ideas, inefficiency, fear of letting go and irritability.


Health advice for Ren individuals:

•    Drink plenty of water.

•    Strengthen the bladder by consuming aniseed, ginger, garlic, leek, ginseng, walnuts, seaweed and black sesame.

•    Introduce more greens into your diet, e.g., peas, zucchini, cucumber, pear, watermelon and vegetable soups.

•    Calcium-rich foods like milk strengthen bone marrow which also benefits the Bladder
•    Treat yourself to a back massage once in a while.

•    Do Yoga stretches.

The Ten Selves – Xin (Metal) People

What does your Self reveal about you?   Your Self matters – it determines who You are!  To read a destiny, you have to know the self.  The Metal Elements (Geng) and (Xin) can be separated into ‘hard’ and ‘soft’ categories.  Xin is the ‘softer,’ but not necessarily ‘gentler’ Metal Element Self. Most Xin individuals are known for their excellent communication skills and insatiable curiosity.  These charming and talkative people always have something to say – they prefer to be both ‘seen’ and ‘heard’ at the same time! Especially if they are right.  Xin is a polished metal and Xin people want to get noticed. The external world is where they shine and thrive, where they are always in reach of knowledge and updated on current events – often by using their wit and humor to get the information they need. Due to these qualities, Xin people can quickly adapt to situations to suit their personal interests.  Color:  Soft Grey Organ/Meridian
