“The Secret of the Golden Flower” mainly tells the concept of “golden flower” and “psychological shadow” proposed by psychologist Carl Jung, and how to understand the human subconscious through these concepts. Simply put, the golden flower represents a part of the human subconscious, which is an unconscious, hidden, and potential area of consciousness. It contains our understanding of ourselves, the world, and the universe, as well as our understanding of the relationship between ourselves and others. It also includes psychological shadows. The shadow represents the negative elements in the subconscious, such as fear, anger, jealousy, inferiority, etc. Our brain is complex. Conscious thinking is only part of it, while the subconscious contains more things that we are not aware of, including our understanding of the world, our cognition of ourselves and others, and psychological shadows that affect our behavior and emotions.
The Golden Flower contains the wisdom and power of our subconscious mind, but it can also be influenced by the Shadow, causing us to make wrong judgments and behaviors, so we need to learn how to understand the Golden Flower and the Shadow so that we can better understand ourselves and others and improve our behavior and emotions. “The Secret of the Golden Flower” can help us better understand our own and others’ behaviors and emotions, and find ways to solve problems and build healthier relationships. Jung believed that the human subconscious is composed of a series of “archetypes”, which are universal and common representative images or symbols. He believes that these archetypes contain universal human experience and potential energy, and will affect our behavior, thinking and feelings. “The Secret of the Golden Flower” tells how to understand the collective subconscious through analyzing the “Golden Flower”.
The Golden Flower represents the common consciousness of a group. Jung believed that each group has its own Golden Flower, and these Golden Flowers will influence the behavior and thinking of the group. For example, a group might have a “maternal golden flower” that represents motherhood, fertility, and affection. This golden flower affects the behavior of group members, for example, they will tend to take care of each other or seek stability and security. In addition, Jung believed that the collective unconscious influences people’s behavior and thoughts, and affects their judgments about the world and others. Here are some key points to understand the group subconscious:
1. The group unconscious is understood through the “golden flower”: the golden flower represents the common consciousness of the group, for example, the maternal golden flower.
2. The group subconscious affects the behavior of group members: The group subconscious affects the behavior and thoughts of group members, for example, affecting their judgments about the world and others.
3. The group subconscious affects individuals: The group subconscious affects individual behavior and thoughts, for example, it affects the judgments that individuals make about the world and others.
Understanding the connection between Golden Flower and practicing Qigong:
Jung’s “Golden Flower” and Qigong practice actually influence each other, but the relationship between them is not direct, but is explored through the commonalities between the two concepts. Jung believed that there are “golden flowers” in the human subconscious. These golden flowers represent human potential energy and experience, just like when we practice qigong, we also need “qi”, and qi is a manifestation of energy. Both the Golden Flower and Qigong practice represent the process of increasing potential, energy and spiritual realm. The connection between them can be understood as a process of spiritual cultivation. Through continuous practice and mastery, one can enhance one’s potential and reach a higher spiritual realm.
Here are some points to help you understand the connection between Golden Flower and Qigong practice:

Through continuous practice, we can make the energy in our body more stable and more fluid, and improve the overall energy state.
3. Spiritual Cultivation: Golden Flower: Jung believed that golden flowers represent spiritual cultivation. Through golden flowers, we can elevate our spiritual realm and reach a higher spiritual level. Practicing Qigong: Practicing Qigong is also a kind of spiritual cultivation. Through continuous practice, you can enhance your spiritual stability and strength and reach a higher spiritual realm.

The concept of Huiguang in “The Secret of the Golden Flower”
In “The Secret of the Golden Flower”, Hui Guang (or “The Self”) is actually a very important concept. Hui Guang is the core concept of the Golden Flower theory. It is a person’s inner complete and whole self. It represents our inner potential and integrity, and is also the goal of our pursuit of spiritual awakening. Jung believed that Hui Guang is: The source of self-awareness: It represents our subconscious mind, which contains our understanding and perception of ourselves, the world, and our environment. The core of the spiritual world: Huiguang represents our inner integrity, represents the potential and energy we possess. The goal of self-awakening: Returning to the light is our goal in pursuit of self-awakening, and it is also the driving force for our continuous exploration and growth. Unique and undefinable: Hui Guang is not a specific object, it is a holistic concept that encompasses all of our potential and consciousness. Continuous Evolution: Huiguang is not a fixed state, it is a process of continuous development and change. As we grow and experience, Huiguang will continue to change and evolve. Inner and outer: Huiguang includes both inner potential and outer experience, which merge into our complete self. Here are a few suggestions for continued exploration and improvement:
1. Self-examination and reflection: Journal your thoughts and feelings: Journal your daily thoughts, emotions, and experiences to explore the contents of your subconscious mind. Meditation: Through meditation practice, focus on your inner state, feel the state of your body and soul, and try to be aware of your subconscious mind. Read and learn: Read the works of Jung, learn about the Golden Flower theory, and other books on self-awakening and inner exploration.
2. Explore Yourself: Cultivate interests and hobbies: Try different things, explore your potential and interests, and thus discover your inner energy and charm. Face challenges and grow: accept challenges, bravely face your inner fears and oppression, and learn and grow from them. Cultivate inner values and principles: Establish inner values and principles and use them as a guide to direct your behavior and choices.
3. Improve user experience: Experience Nature: Establish a connection with nature, feel its energy and power, and enhance your inner consciousness. Engage in Arts and Culture: Enjoy art, music, dance, and other cultural experiences that expand your ideas and thinking. Serve others: Help others to cultivate inner compassion and love and enhance your inner energy.
4. Keep exploring: Stay curious: Continue to learn, explore and grow, keep searching within, and continue to learn how to improve your inner state. Be patient and persevere: Improving Huiguang is a long process that requires patience and perseverance. Accept and love yourself: Love yourself, accept yourself, and affirm your inner strength.
When practicing Huiguang, one can observe light and flower images deep in the eyebrows, which is a common phenomenon in the practice of Golden Flower. The golden flower represents the subconscious mind, which is expressed in various ways, such as images, colors, sounds, etc. Deep eyebrows with light and flower images may mean that you are becoming aware of the energy and power of your subconscious mind. You will experience a spiritual uplift. Dark eyebrows with light and flower images may mean that you are going through a process of spiritual growth and your inner energy is rising and becoming clearer and brighter. Golden Flower practice is a form of self-exploration, where you become aware of your subconscious mind and begin to connect with it. Deep eyebrows with light and flower images may mean that you are connecting with your inner energy and beginning to accept and understand yourself.
Eyebrow deep light is the manifestation of frequency
Jung believed that the brow light is indeed a specific frequency, but it is not a physical frequency in the sense that you would imagine, for example, that you would hear in music or measure with scientific instruments. He believes that the eyebrow light is an energy frequency, a spiritual frequency, which represents our inner awakening, energy and spirituality. The human body’s energy system, including the “brow light”, is closely related to the surrounding environment, cosmic energy and spiritual energy. The energy of the eyebrow deep light will change with our mental and psychological state. For example, when we feel stressed, anxious, or fearful, the frequency of the eyebrow deep light will decrease. When we feel calm, happy and full of energy, the frequency of the deep eyebrow light will increase. The frequency of the brow deep light is also related to the state of our consciousness. For example, when we are immersed in a state of deep thinking or meditation, the frequency of the brow deep light will become more stable, and when we feel distracted and lack of concentration, the frequency of the brow deep light will become unstable. The exact frequency of the Meishen light is not measured and defined using specific instruments like physicists do. It is understood more through observation and interpretation rather than through scientific experiments, so his theory does not apply to the measurement tools of physics. The frequency of eyebrow light is an abstract concept that represents the state of our inner energy. It is not a specific numerical value, but a phenomenon of spiritual energy.
