These are just a handful of examples and but the list is big . These statements are absorbed by our subconscious mind , planted there by culture , family and such . They sabotage our entire Yin / Yang balance and we are therefore , blocked and out of balance .
Yin and Yang are not meant to be concrete labels , but rather a description of an energetic state , existing in a moment of time .
The sun , for example , would be considered Yang in relationship to the moon , but could also be considered either Yin or Yang , depending on whether it ’ s rising or setting .
A sapling tree exists in a Yin state ( for the time being ), while the mature tree exists in the Yang state .
Other examples of Yin and Yang are : Cold and Hot , Light and Dark , the pulsation of blood in and out of the Heart , birth and death , creation and destruction , and growth and decay . Each state is defined by its relationship to its opposite . There can be no light without dark , no heat without cold , and no birth without death .
It can help to become familiar with the general characteristics of each state so that you can begin to see the subtler expressions of these two energies within yourself .
