Emotions, 'Shen' and Sleep

Chinese Medicine View

Chinese Medicine recognises that emotions are a profound part of human experience. Emotions and emotional responses to various situations are seen as normal and even necessary.

Chinese Medicine recognises that emotions are a profound part of human experience. Emotions and emotional responses to various situations are seen as normal and even necessary. 


At times we may find that emotions: 

get in the way of daily life, 

restrict our movement between different situations, 

are there without our knowing why, 

feel automated and habitually ‘stuck’ 

feel burdensome and excessive, maybe even out of proportion to the situations they arise from,  

are difficult to access and/or express,

impact ourselves and others more than we’d like 


The above scenarios aren’t ‘wrong’ and come with being a person. In Chinese Medicine philosophy, they offer us opportunities to learn about ourselves, what we want and how we relate to the world.

The emotional and the physical are very closely linked in Chinese Medicine. Emotional imbalances can bring about bodily signs and symptoms, while somatic conditions can affect one’s emotional state. Chinese Medicine observes specific and detailed connections between the two. For example, stress is often linked with the Liver while worry relates to the Stomach and Spleen. Because of this connection pensiveness, overthinking or worry can lead to digestive issues and vice versa.


Chinese Medicine can help us make precise connections between physical and emotional patterns. It can foster emotional well being by helping to regulate normal bodily processes.

Emotions, 'Shen' and Sleep

In Chinese medicine we often talk about ‘Shen’ - a broad term that incorporates the mind, spirit, heart, soul and consciousness.  Each person is unique and our Shen is what allows us to navigate and follow our own path in life. Chinese Medicine seeks to facilitate this process by helping people to move in harmony with their Shen.

The importance of sleep and calm

The Shen is nourished by clarity and calm, which is fostered by good sleep. In contemporary life, we are exposed to constant stimulation and the pressure to maximise every aspect of life. This can inundate, confuse and unsettle the Shen, with various health consequences including disrupted sleep.
