Yin and Yang interacts four ways;
- Opposition
- Interdependence
- Mutual Consumption
- Inner Transformation
The Tai Chi Symbol symbolizes 3 forces at play;
- The Yang Force which is white
- The Yin Force which is black
- The Center Curving Line is the glue or force that unifies yin and yang as one inseparable whole to produce balance. The dots are seeds contained in each force to further illustrate that yang is born from yin and yin is born from yang.
Balance is the correct amount of what is needed. The seasons alternate every 3 months to bring about harmony in the whole unified field. Too much or too little of anything will alter yin and yang and the integrity of the original pattern. If we were to experience spring year round growth would become out of control and burn up our base. The lack of rejuvenation from insufficient rest from no winter would alter the integrity of the whole and center line making us susceptible to disease and excessive insects. An extreme reaction is needed such as cutting down the excess or using pesticides from a commercial way of thinking.
Eventually living in extremes produces out of control energy which manifests as mood swings, epilepsy and a host of other reactions. Too much excitement needs excessive depression to balance it. Too much depression needs excessive excitement. The most effective way to create balance is to avoid excessiveness or deficiency all together and learn to release attachment to produce smooth flow. The opposite of smooth is jerky. Jerkiness is produced by a weak center due to eating incorrect foods such as; chemicals, preservative, artificial coloring, excessive meats, excessive oils and a host of toxins, indulgent relationships, distracted or scattered thinking from an undisciplined mind due to lack of committing to goals, clutter and incorrect feng shui from our surroundings is the cause for experiencing unnecessary extremes and health problems in our lives. The key to harmony is incrimental change that produces understanding and security. Below is a list of intentional actions that produce smooth flow in the liver, blood and the season of spring.
Spring is a time for;
- Green leafy vegetables.
- Green tea and honey.
- Writing down your goals and executing them by letting go of excuses.
- Getting rid of clutter through spring cleaning so energy of vital growth can flow smoothly and freely with ease to accomplish your inner most desires and dreams.
- Purposeful thinking by asking your self why and what am I learning that will benefit all concerned.
- Learn how to live in the present by knowing how to deal with mistakes. Many people beat themselves up and live in the past, trapped and searching for forgiveness. When a mistake is made it is important to visualize how you will respond to the next similar situation with the same or new people in future events. Imaging your new intent and what you will do different gives you a way to prepare and anticpate the needed change in yourself and is the secret to forgiveness. (Clutter is living in your past mistakes without deciding how you will respond differently in the next situation)
- Learn to harmonize with family and friends. What ever you want others to be, be that yourself then you will find others responding in a like manner.
- Aid others to fulfill thier most heartfelt desires and you will find the powers of nature going to work to fulfill your inner most needs and aspirations.

From the 1 comes two, from the 2 comes 3 and from the 3 comes the 10,000 things.
