Healing takes place, when you are asleep or your eyes are closed. If you are sick, you have a deficiency of healing, therefore a deficiency of sleep. The body makes the healing of a bone a priority, as opposed to doing other things that are not quite as important. It does not matter what is or what causes your health problem, whether it is because of lifestyle abuse or external trauma. That is the most important thing you can do to make you well.
Vital energy is used up by all the activities of life.
Vital energy is used up by physical activity, by talking, digestion, emotions, thinking, seeing, hearing, smelling and by sex. Nerve cell fatigue or exhaustion is deep seated and much time is required to recover. It is the lowering of vital energy in the nerve cells which leads to physical and mental trouble. Close your eyes to replenish your nerve cells and your nerves will get better and feel better. The actual storing up of the energy reserves or the energy sources of the body, takes place during rest.
