Jing, qi, shen — three treasures

In Chinese medicine and philosophy, jing is your constitutional reserve, qi is your operational energy, and shen is your presence—three resources that decline together with age but can be managed or depleted by how you live. Treating them as finite rather than infinite changes which activities feel restorative versus extractive.
