Unlocking Your True Potential: The Three Treasures of Life Coaching – Jing, Qi, and Shen

By Dr. Guadalupe Vanderhorst Rodriguez, D.Ac, L.Ac


In a world filled with distractions and emotional overwhelm, finding clarity can feel like an impossible task. But what if the path to clarity has always been within you?


At Three Treasures Life Coaching, we tap into the wisdom of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) by guiding you through the ancient philosophy of the Three Treasures—Jing (Essence), Qi (Vital Energy), and Shen (Spirit).


These Three Treasures are more than just concepts—they are energetic forces that shape your physical health, emotional stability, and spiritual well-being. When in balance, they bring clarity, confidence, and a deep connection to your authentic self.

What Are the Three Treasures?


1. Jing (Essence): Your Foundation of Life


Jing is often referred to as your life’s blueprint—the foundational energy you’re born with. Think of it as the deep reservoir that governs your growth, development, fertility, and aging process. Jing is stored in the kidneys and passed down from your parents. While Jing is finite, it can be preserved and nourished through healthy living and intentional practices.


In Life Coaching: When your Jing is weak, you may feel tired, scattered, or lacking direction. We focus on helping you protect your essence by slowing down, honoring your boundaries, and developing habits that support your longevity and inner peace.


2. Qi (Energy): Your Vital Force


Qi (pronounced “chee”) is your day-to-day energy—the life force that powers your mind and body. It flows through your meridians (energy channels) and fuels everything from digestion and circulation to emotional resilience and motivation.


In Life Coaching: We help you identify where your energy is leaking. Is your Qi scattered by negative thinking? Are you drained by unhealthy relationships or old patterns? Through mindfulness practices, breathwork, and intentional focus, we help you restore and direct your energy for clarity, confidence, and action.


3. Shen (Spirit): Your Conscious Awareness


Shen is your spirit, consciousness, and mental clarity. It resides in your heart and reflects your presence, emotional expression, and connection to a higher purpose. When Shen is strong, your eyes shine, your mind is calm, and your words carry intention.


In Life Coaching: We work with Shen to bring you back into alignment with your true self. Emotional turmoil, anxiety, or feeling lost often means your Shen is disturbed. We guide you through self-reflection, spiritual practices, and emotional processing to nourish your spirit and restore inner clarity.


How the Three Treasures Work Together for Clarity


When Jing, Qi, and Shen are in harmony, you experience:

  • Mental clarity and emotional stability

  • Improved decision-making

  • Increased self-awareness and confidence

  • Greater energy and life purpose

Just like a three-legged stool, all Three Treasures must be balanced. If one is lacking, the others compensate—and your clarity becomes clouded. That’s why our Three Treasures Life Coaching model addresses all three levels: physical vitality, emotional awareness, and spiritual insight.


What You’ll Experience in Three Treasures Life Coaching


In each session, we guide you to:

  • Reflect on what depletes your Jing and how to protect it

  • Identify energy leaks in your Qi and reclaim your focus

  • Realign your Shen with daily rituals and spiritual connection


Through guided journaling, breathwork, grounding meditations, and soulful conversation, you’ll begin to uncover the clarity that already lives inside of you.


Final Thoughts: Your True Self is Calling


You are not broken—you may simply be disconnected from your Three Treasures. Through Three Treasures Life Coaching, you’ll reconnect with your inner wisdom, learn how to protect your energy, and finally begin living in alignment with who you truly are.

When you honor your Essence, focus your Energy, and awaken your Spirit, you become unstoppable.
