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.
