SHEN(R) (Specific Human Energy Nexus Therapy, SHEN Therapy)
Psychological form of touch therapy. One of its postulates is that an "emotional energy field" (also called the chi field and the biofield) permeates and surrounds the "physical body." SHEN's purported design is to unblock clients' "energy." (The Chinese word "shen" means "deity," "soul," or "spirit.")
Shen
Shen (Chinese) In Taoism, when employed in relation to yang, it refers to the celestial or spiritual, hence the gods; in relation to man it is generally translated soul. Yang is defined as a supreme, universal shen -- living, creating, dividing itself into an infinite number of shen -- depositing the shen in the various beings of the worlds. "The shen are omnipresent; it is they which perform the unfathomable work of the Yang and the Yin. These two vital breaths (of the universe) create the beings; their peregrinating hwun (or shen) are the causes of the changes (in nature), from which, accordingly, we may learn the actions and manners of the kwei and the shen" (I Ching, Hi-ts'ze 1).
With regard to man, the Li Chi states that "Man is a product of the beneficial operation of the Yang and the Yin, and the union of a kwei with a shen; he consists of the finest breath which the five elements contain" (Li yun 3). See also
