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.
