The Significance of Yin and Yang (Part Two) The Significance of Yin and Yang (Part Two)                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                           Intermingled Concepts                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                           In ancient times men and women find out from their surroundings in the organic globe. It is consequently not surprising that they described the characteristics of yin and yang from nature, the factors and the seasons. To steer clear of the danger of categorizing all that we see into lists of yin and yang, let us consider a closer seem at nature in terms of yin and yang.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                           Source Link Wood                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                           Structures developed of light, hollow flexible kinds of wooed have an uplifting nature but at the exact same time a lack of stability. If you had been chairing an critical meeting you would appreciate a sturdy, strong oak chair to help you, but you may possibly come to feel less assured in a flimsy bamboo beach chair. The latter, however, would be perfect if you were on vacation and desired to relax with an informal regimen. The more solid timbers that get time to develop and mature, such as oak, are far more yang than the hollow, lighter structures of bamboo that only consider weeks to develop.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                           Rocks                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                           Almost all mineral structures in nature needed time, stress and heat to type. The more of these qualities that have been existing, the a lot more yang the structure of the resultant rocks. One particular of the most yang geological structures is granite, which took unimaginable time and strain to form and can stand up to the battering of the aspects for 1000's of years. Younger, sedimentary rocks exhibit far less yang. Equally, whilst the granite might be a fine instance of yang energy it does not enable much yin expression to be present. This is observed in the lack of vegetation, the dryness and the absence of the freshness and vitality that you can feel when you walk on lighter or more sandy mineral structures.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                           Soils                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                           Clay is a excellent illustration of a yang soil structure, heavy, sticky and wealthy in minerals it can be produced even far more yang by the use of fire. Compost, light soil and sand are examples of yin soil structures, which though fertile, tend to be superficial and simply eroded by rain.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                           Fire                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                           A fire made from twigs or leaves might appear superficially proper and roaring, but it does not have the yang to sustain lengthy, slow combustion. Examine this with a fire of coal or charcoal, which will burn up steadily for hours at a consistent temperature – it is effortless to see that the slower fire is far more yang. It is not its superficial top quality that merits this description but its inner nature.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                           Water                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                           This element provides a entire spectrum of yin/yang attributes. Fresh, clear, running water that can appear superficially yang (because it is energetic) is truly presenting us with some of the finest attributes of yin, its freshness and vitality signify yin's ‘upward' nature. Conversely, the stillness and depth of water that we perceive in a lake or an ocean may possibly appear superficially yin (inactive), but its hidden power and deeper nature are the clue                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                           to its far more yang nature.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                           Actions                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                           Pursuits that we engage in that are practical and ‘hands-on' are regarded as more yang, whereas reading through, writing, inventing and discussion are all noticed as far more yin actions. Becoming led is a lot more yin than becoming the leader. Working in a group as component of a staff is a lot more yin, while doing work alone and in isolation is far more yang. Lazing in the sun on a tropical island is definitely yin compared to climbing a mountain in the Alps alone which is yang.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                           Health                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                           Yin signs and symptoms                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                           Tiredness is a frequent difficulty in present day daily life and is a excellent illustration of a yin symptom. Its leads to can be lack of fresh air, above-eating, not sufficient rest or not enough selection in our lives. Feeling withdrawn and fearful whilst at the very same time keeping away from engaging in as well a lot exercise is one more yin symptom. Craving sweet foods, sweet drinks, ice cream, chocolate and stimulants this kind of as coffee is also symptomatic of a yin condition. A really practical way of assessing your situation is to see whether or not your hands are damp or dry: any extra damp is yin.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                           Yang symptoms                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                     Becoming hyperactive – unable to rest, to slow down or even have a complete night's sleep – is a symptom of an more than-yang issue. If you crave salty, savory or sizzling meals and like loads of bodily action for recreation then your problem is more yang. Dry hands with a company handshake is yet another sign of a yang problem.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                           If you want to know more about Yin Yang and I Ching Astrology, visit .Subsequent week Jon appears at the Ancient Five Transformations of Chinese Philosophy and their connection with I Ching Astrology.
