The old Sages already knew of the existence of polarity in this universe from their Observations. What was then, still exists now. Yin and Yang are two complementary forces, working together in the form of exchanging energy. They are opposite forces, Magnetism and Electricity, Pulling and Pushing and their presence can be witnessed by all of us.
Everything is related to this dynamic, both forces are present in every human being in the form of Female and Male energy.
It doesn't matter if you are in a female or male body form, Yin and Yang are causing the energy fluctuations and sensations you experience in your body.
The Ancient Wisdom somewhere in time came up with the Yin-Yang symbol, representing the working of the dynamic flow.
If you are interested in the dynamic, you can put the Yin-Yang symbol on every sentient being and organism in life. Even your cat and dog, nature, situations, activities etcetera. They all are influenced and changed by the current dynamic pattern.
On a societal level, we can use the yin-yang dynamic as well. It is a wave-like pattern, we can even put on our fluctuating economy, the weather, our bank account.
The dynamic of Yin and Yang is a natural force or energy currency running between the extremities of polarities.
If something reaches its extreme there will always appear the flipping point toward the counter force. Yin becoming (more) Yang, Yang becoming (more) Yin.
For those of you who are reluctant to change, life is change and always in flux. So better start practising the movement and going with the flow with suppleness. Yes, this is why we practice
Chi Dao Qigong
as a form of spontaneous movement. Exercise will keep you consciously aware and connected to the inner movement of your body. It will help energy running smoothly through the energy channels without blockages, giving the body greater adaptability to environmental changes as well.
If we take a closer look at society right now, we can see that it is mostly performing Yang energy. Yang energy is the male force, electrical, activity and heat build-up in the form of fire energy. It is also connected to speed, hastiness, business, and stress.
Everything in nature responds to human activity, therefore each human being has the chance to be in connection with nature for healing. Healing is being in proper (healthy) connection with the natural organic whole, being part of something bigger than the tiny person-body or Ego-mind.
These are only a few examples to make it easier for you to relate to what we are speaking of here.
Nowadays the many are struggling with growing health issues and the many seem to be related to stress. So what does this tell you?
As compensation to the extreme Yang force, we could voluntarily move into the Yin energy of stillness, relaxation, restfulness, peacefulness, stop chasing, stop hurrying etcetera.
Take a closer look at what it is you are running after. Is it in the material realm of work, career, gadgets, material things (cars, houses, money, etcetera)? If you are aware of the dynamic, you will know that at some point there is a boundary in the material world. You will know that the flipping point comes near as soon as you reach expansion, you only don't know when that point will come.
Therefore, if you wonder about the extremities in this world, you can start to look with your own eyes and figure out how the dynamic is playing out in your personal life. Maybe it will help set boundaries in the form of enough is enough.
Because each individual human being is able to make choices in each and every moment.
But also, become realistic enough to know that humanity is an organic whole. Everything is interconnected (you don't need an electronic device for that, it IS!), you can put the Yin-Yang symbol on the totality of this world and know that the currency of money is being influenced by this dynamic as well.
Just know that there is a form of balancing act playing itself out, it is a Collective issue.
Become aware that if you are in extreme expansion, you will someday have to face the opposite. So why not start balancing your account right now?
Humanity means being and acting as sentient human beings, and that means, being and living as an organic interconnected whole.
Humans have the capacity to be response-able, they have the intelligence to make the right decisions and be wise.
So, this is just some food for thought.
If you want to learn to work with the dynamic of Yin and Yang, you can learn by practice and exercises. We offer books, workshops, training, lectures, and consultations for your personal benefit.
