Balancing Yin/Yang

​

What is yin/yang? In Chinese philosophy it "represents opposing but complimentary forces that are interconnected and interdependent, forming a dynamic cycle of balance and transformation."

​

Keep the words balance and transformation in your mind, as we will explore how they pertain to your personal yin/yang.

​

Yin/Yang are often described as forces that shape the universe and human life. They are associated with opposing or contrasting concepts such as darkness and light, male and female, earth and heaven, and passivity and activity. On a deeper level, the more mental aspect of being, it involves creating balance between acceptance and action, conflict and harmony, and wants and needs.

​

Although this may seem contradictory, yin/yang balance is necessary for our personal existence and our existence in society.

​

Remember balance and harmony?

​

Understanding and accepting the concepts of yin/yang within ourselves allows us to strive to achieve our own balance and harmony.  As we work through our own personal conflicts by balancing, accepting, and changing when necessary, it allows us to expand this harmonious balance in all aspects of life, work and rest activity and relaxation.

​

This month let us focus on our own yin/yang, on restoring our balance, and bringing harmony to ourselves.

​

While doing this always remember:
