Glossary Flashcards
Health
How we take on water or seeds that we decide to germinate. Our ability to maintain metal
Wellness
The narrative of a persons life, how yin is flowing. Wellness is asking how do we want to manage the 9 heart pains. What is the imbalance in metal (can’t let go) and wood (smooth flow of qi)

Comes from understanding ourselves. NOT longevity so much as quality of life. Not so attached to an idea of health. Life is about the virtue of the lungs = letting go
The effort to do healthy things works against the spontaneous action and without the spontaneous experience there is no quality of life
