The Liver Stores the Hun

The Hun spirit is the spirit that wanders while we are sleeping. It lives in the dreamworld, and when ranked with the other spirits, it stands between the middle of the Shen and the Zhi.
The Hun can be likened to the Western “astral body,” which in Plato’s time was considered to be the immortal vehicle of the soul (or Shen). The astral body has often been referred to as that which holds a kind of cosmic memory, and is definitely associated with the spirit that holds the emotional capacities of the energetic being. The Liver is in charge of all of the emotions of the body.
