What do you mean by Shen Yuan's retreat?

Shen Yuan's retirement is a concept in Taoism, Buddhism, theology and psychology, which means that one's mind and thoughts gradually retire to one's own heart and get rid of the noise of the world and the outside world. The purpose of Shen Yuan's retreat is to let people better explore their spirituality and inner world, so as to find their own harmony and balance, and then better integrate into society and communicate with others.

In the Taoist school of China, Shen Yuan's retreat refers to the use of various skills and methods in the process of cultivation to achieve the balance between spirit and body, so as to transcend the elements involved in the secular world and then enter the deep practice of Taoism. In this kind of practice, the yogi can get a higher realm and reach his own origin, so as to achieve transcendence and real freedom.

In Buddhism, the retirement of Yuan God is closely related to Zen. Zen masters often use the method of meditation to let practitioners gradually relax their hearts and reach a state of deep meditation. In this way, the yogi can find the true self in his heart, optimize his thoughts, improve his emotional IQ, truly understand the humanistic values such as compassion, kindness and justice, and reach the realm of great retreat of Yuan God.
