Jing (Essence)

Jing, often translated as "essence" in traditional Chinese philosophy, refers to the fundamental, vital energy or substance that underpins growth, development, and overall vitality in the body and universe. It is considered a foundational life force that sustains physical health, reproductive functions, and longevity. Jing is believed to be inherited from our parents and can be replenished or refined through proper care, lifestyle, and spiritual practices. In essence, it represents the core material and energetic foundation necessary for life’s vitality and aging processes.
