The use of Yin and Yang comes from early
Chinese and Taoists philosophers. They used Yin and Yang
to describe the interactions for all things.
The relationship created by and between Yin and Yang is
a notion used to describe the nature of the universe and
the connections between everything contained within.
Yin and Yang govern all aspects of life and of death.
Contrary to common misconception Yin and
Yang are not material properties, nor forces that exist in
nature. Instead, if one were to imagine a hill, in the
desert, with one side illuminated while the other side is
cast in shadow, ancient Chinese Medicine would say the
dark side was Yin and the lit side Yang. This is used by
the Chinese to provide a visual image to help display the
founding concept of Yin and Yang.
Because Yin and Yang can be found in all
things and all things contain Yin and Yang, a person
could sit in a room and describe the aspects and
relationships of Yin and Yang for any object within that
room.
Yin and Yang are polar complements that
create all things and cannot exist without each other.
Yin and Yang are constantly in flux, in the attempt to
maintain balance. When the weather is hot, we would say there is an abundance of Yang, conversely cold
weather would be labeled an abundance of Yin.
