There are two sorts of jing – prenatal and postnatal. Generally it is thought that prenatal jing cannot be replaced once it has burnt out. Your goal should be to take care with your lifestyle and make sure you die at an old age before your jing runs out. Some people however seem to think that meditation and qigong can replace prenatal jing. However postnatal jing can certainly be nourished by good food, clean living, good sleep patterns and meditation. I’ve read a view that moxa can assist with replenishing jing. Not sure about that though. By the way, ejaculation is the number one way to lose your jing. What a dilemma!

Does jing deplete until it fully dies out,or is there a way to increase it once more?

That's a good question. I haven't researched this topic yet, but I would imagine that there is significance to different locations of breakouts in other places on your body. TCM-wise, my guess would be that the answer may be related to which meridians are found in the area where the spots are. Here's a good diagram I found of the meridians on the back: --> link - the back is the "posterior view" diagram on the right. (note: Ignore the weird looking names and look at the colored lines that are labelled with 2 letters that stand for a TCM organ e.g. GB = gall bladder, LV = liver, LI = large intestine or colon - similar meaning to lungs, SI = small intestine which have similar meaning to the heart area etc. Find the bit I wrote above about the relevant organ for an interpretation of what spots along these meridians could indicate). Otherwise, another good resource for finding what emotions are most closely linked to a body part, is a book called: "The Body is the Barometer of the Soul" by Annette Noontil. I hope that helps!

I was just wondering.What is the cause of breaking out on your body? for example. I get a few pimples on my upper back. and i know it is not hormones because my skin is not oily and my period is regular. Is there emotional causes for breaking out on your body. I also break out a little bit on the back of my arms.Nothing too serious just mild.
