Yin/Yang Philosophy Minimize

Tai jiWhat we Americans call the 'yin/yang symbol' is actually called the taiji tu. This symbol represents one of the greatest philosophical ideas in all of Eastern practices.

It symbolizes the joining together of two separate,(but equal), opposing, (yet supportive) forces of the universe. The way that these two powerful forces combine and relate impacts all of nature.

YIN is the way of the earth. It contracts and condenses. Yin represents the passive principle in nature. It represents the realm of the dead. In human terms, yin is the side of the female.

YANG is the way of heaven. It expands. Yang is represented by the active principle in nature. It represents the realm of the living. In human terms, yang is the side of the male.

Within YANG there is a small piece of YIN, and within YIN there is a small piece of YANG. There are no absolutes, and you cannot have one without the other.
