Shen is one of the Three Treasures (sanbao) we have as corporeal beings. Shen is our spirit which connects to the ethereal Tao and the Mind beyond mind. The other two treasures are our Qi and Jing. Qi (chi) relates to what animates a being, and it is related to the breath and our vital energy. Jing is the energy derived from what we eat, thus making up our physical essence. Shen derives from Qi and Jing, and Shen energizes the Qi.
We derive our Shen energy from two sources. First, there is the Shen with which we are born. It is also called Prenatal Shen. It is this energy which connects with the Tao, or eternal aspect of the universe. Through knowing it, we can connect with the Mind of Tao. It never leaves, it is our eternal soul, but it can be difficult to recognize due to our conditioned mind.
Another aspect of Shen is derived from the Jing and Qi developed after birth, or the Postnatal Shen. Our habits, conditioning and environment shape this type of Shen. It is affected by our thinking processes and behaviors. Excessive behaviors, including too much thinking, can lead to spiritual exhaustion and disconnection from one's Prenatal Shen.
What this video does due to its energetic/psychic/morphic programming is enhance the connection and also engorge shen into your body and being. (especially heart and brain areas)
