How trauma affects the Heart & Shen (spirit)

From this perspective, the current culture of segregation may be perceived as trauma to the Shen. To be faced with discrimination, division and other control measures goes against the Heart and the core of our humanity. The flame the resides at the centre of your Heart seeks connection, much like the way people come together around a campfire.

Its time mental, emotional and spiritual wellbeing be given equal consideration, if not priority.
