Course Overview
Hun and Po are among the key concepts of Chinese Medicine; they are presented here by Elisabeth Rochat de la Vallée through their characters, their uses and meanings in classical Chinese texts and in medical texts, and with their main correlated notions. Key sentences and excerpts are studied directly from the source texts including discussion of their practical applications. Among the Five Aspects of the Spirit (shen), the Hun souls are the spiritual and intelligent aspects, associated with Heaven, the Immaterial and with the Liver; the Po souls are the corporeal and sentient aspects, associated with Earth, the body and with the Lung. This recorded course covers all of these concepts.

    Vital Spirit belongs to Heaven, body belongs to Earth as referred in Huain Nan Zi Chapter 7. In Chinese Medicine, when fire in Kidney by richness of yin cannot be sustained, the Yang escapes. Fire inside is fire from above which is kept inside. The coming together of Heaven and Earth brings a sense of beginning. The merging of sperm or the father and blood of the mothers as human being will develop my body and enable the vital power of discernment for knowledge and perception: in order to see,

    How to nourish & maintain life in order to prepare for after death. Presentation of the Chinese character of Hun & Po. In Hun, we find the idea of a cloud with no definite form, always changing. In Po, we find the white color of the bone that remains after departure. Bones do not move. Hun is like the knowledgeable Qi or Consciousness with the expression of life, which is not static. Muscular activity cannot be seen in corps. We translate muscular movement as bones and sinews. In Western cultu

    Po, is on the side of body activity. Po is something of the body as it regulates the breathing. As Yin & Yang and Heaven & Earth, Hun & Po together form an expression from the origin through multiplicity of Yin, Yang and Qi. Harmonious blending is never the same as it is always a change in movement.

    Humans have the ability to develop consciousness, but not the ability to develop pure instinct. Consciousness comes from the merging of what emerges from Heaven and Earth. So Po cannot exist without the Hun. In starvation, humans would kill for food as in human behavior, we would share the food. Instinct cannot be without consciousness otherwise is would be bestial behavior. So we need to give the body what it needs in order to maintain its balance. Sleeping is in relation to Hun to visit Spir

    What is of Heaven and Earth in unity of my life does not dissipate. Hun and Po are two of the fire aspects of the Spirit. Which movement of QI does it correspond to? Hun Qi fits best with rising and escaping from the upper part of the scale as Hun associates with Liver and with what is of the Liver Qi. As the opposite, the Po is associated with substance and liquid such as the Lung is the Master of QI. It disseminates and descends liquids outward and downward. In Chinese, Anus means the Po door

    About Elisabeth Rochat de la Vallée

    Born in Paris in 1949, Elisabeth Rochat de la Vallee studied philosophy, literature and classics at Paris University where she completed her Master's degree in Classics and in Philosophy, and then in Chinese. Elisabeth met Claude Larre s.j. when she was 20, while he was working on his PhD thesis on the Huainanzi and translating the Laozi. As a result of his influence, she began to study Chinese, working with him on Chinese classical texts. Elisabeth also studied modern Chinese with a native speaker and spent a year in Taiwan (1974) to further her studies. In the early 1970's, Father Larre met Dr. Jean Schatz, a western physician with an interest in oriental medicine He was an acupuncturist with a special interest for the classical medical texts. At this time, Elisabeth began to embark on her study of Chinese medicine, and together with Dr. Schatz and Father Larre, began the first study group of the classical medical texts in Paris. This lead to the founding of the European School of Acupuncture in Paris in 1976. From this common work, Father Larre, Dr. Schatz and herself co-authored A Survey of Chinese Medicine, published in 1979. Under the auspices of the Ricci Institute in Paris, Father Larre and Elisabeth Rochat de la Vallee offered lectures, seminars and conferences on Chinese classical thought and in the mid 1980s, she began to accompany Father Larre on his teaching engagements in both the UK and US. Elisabeth Rochat de la Vallee also worked closely with Father Larre on the Grand Ricci dictionary, completing the first publication in 1999. Elisabeth Rochat de la Vallee continues to teach worldwide, working with both medical and philosophical Classics. She has worked with wonderful individuals such as Sandra Hill for the editing and publication of books in English through Monkey Press, Peter Firebrace for teaching in London with Orientation; Ken and Jessica Rose in the US with whom she co-founded the Three Spring Institute, and many others in different countries and languages. Elisabeth Rochat de la Vallee believes that the real knowledge of the Chinese vision of life is useful not only to understand Chinese medicine from a scholarly point of view, but also to deepen one’s practical approach and clinical skill. This is the reason why she always reads, translates and explains texts which present a precise pathology and its diagnosis treatment or a reflection on the nature and meaning of human life or anything in the between.
