Functions of the Lungs
The Lungs house the Corporeal Soul (Po).
Commentary: The Corporeal Soul is responsible for our instincts. The function of the Corporeal Soul is to enable the body to move and perform its functions. The ability of a newborn baby to breath, cry and take milk is understood as a manifestation of the Corporeal Soul. The Corporeal Soul gives us the ability to perceive instinctively. People with a strong Corporeal Soul have the ability to intuitively sense danger. E.g. the intuition, not to board an airplane on a particular day, originates from the Corporeal Soul that warns us of coming danger. The Corporeal Soul represents our future. Fear of the future, or existential fears, has its root in an impairment of the Corporeal Soul.
