THE KIDNEY FUNCTION

nausea
confusion
trouble concentrating
sleep problems

The Kidney holds all of the life chi (prana) stores reserve energy called “pre-natal Qi” a finite reserve inherited from your parents. When another organ is low on energy, the Kidney sends it an extra Qi boost from this inheritance. Its partner organ is the Bladder, lots of things can deplete the kidney chi, especially fear, the primary emotion of the kidneys, as well as stress, anxiety, depression and all negative emotions .
The mental-emotional component of the kidney is Often the deep-rooted emotion of fear—or overuse of the Kidney's inborn Qi. You can have online Pranic healing for your kidneys to assist their healing as well as other related organs
