The Significance of Yin and Yang (Component Two) The Significance of Yin and Yang (Portion Two)                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                           Intermingled Concepts                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                           In ancient instances folks find out from their surroundings in the natural globe. It is as a result not surprising that they described the qualities of yin and yang from nature, the elements and the seasons. To keep away from the danger of categorizing all that we see into lists of yin and yang, let us get a closer seem at nature in terms of yin and yang.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                           Wood                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                           Structures created of light, hollow flexible sorts of wooed have an uplifting nature but at the very same time a lack of stability. If you were chairing an crucial meeting you would enjoy a powerful, reliable oak chair to support you, but you may possibly truly feel significantly less confident in a flimsy bamboo seaside chair. The latter, even so, would be best if you had been on holiday and desired to unwind with an informal program. Be Encouraged To Keep On Trying! The far more sound timbers that consider time to increase and mature, such as oak, are far much more yang than the hollow, lighter structures of bamboo that only consider weeks to expand.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                           Rocks                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                           Virtually all mineral structures in nature essential time, pressure and heat to kind. The far more of these qualities that have been present, the far more yang the construction of the resultant rocks. One of the most yang geological structures is granite, which took unimaginable time and strain to form and can withstand the battering of the aspects for thousands of years. Younger, sedimentary rocks exhibit far less yang. Equally, whilst the granite may be a fine instance of yang energy it does not enable significantly yin expression to be existing. This is witnessed in the lack of vegetation, the dryness and the absence of the freshness and vitality that you can feel when you stroll on lighter or more sandy mineral structures.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                           Soils                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                           Clay is a great example of a yang soil construction, hefty, sticky and wealthy in minerals it can be created even much 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 easily eroded by rain.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                           Fire                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                           A fire produced from twigs or leaves may possibly appear superficially correct and roaring, but it does not have the yang to sustain lengthy, slow combustion. Evaluate this with a fire of coal or charcoal, which will burn up steadily for hrs at a continuous temperature – it is simple to see that the slower fire is more yang. It is not its superficial good quality that merits this description but its inner nature.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                           Water                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                           This component gives a whole spectrum of yin/yang qualities. Fresh, clear, running water that can seem superficially yang (since it is energetic) is actually presenting us with some of the finest characteristics of yin, its freshness and vitality represent yin's ‘upward' nature. Conversely, the stillness and depth of water that we perceive in a lake or an ocean might seem superficially yin (inactive), but its hidden strength and deeper nature are the clue                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                     to its much more yang nature.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                           Activities                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                           Pursuits that we engage in that are useful and ‘hands-on' are regarded as far more yang, whereas reading, creating, inventing and discussion are all seen as more yin activities. Getting led is a lot more yin than being the leader. Working in a group as component of a crew is much more yin, whilst operating alone and in isolation is much more yang. Lazing in the sun on a tropical island is certainly yin compared to climbing a mountain in the Alps alone which is yang.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                           Well being                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                           Yin signs and symptoms                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                           Tiredness is a frequent difficulty in contemporary daily life and is a very good example of a yin symptom. Its triggers can be lack of fresh air, over-consuming, not ample rest or not adequate selection in our lives. Feeling withdrawn and fearful although at the exact same time staying away from engaging in too considerably exercise is yet another yin symptom. Craving sweet meals, sweet drinks, ice cream, chocolate and stimulants this kind of as coffee is also symptomatic of a yin problem. A very useful way of assessing your situation is to see whether your hands are damp or dry: any excess damp is yin.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                           Yang signs and symptoms                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                           Getting hyperactive – unable to rest, to slow down or even have a complete night's sleep – is a symptom of an more than-yang condition. If you crave salty, savory or sizzling meals and like plenty of physical activity for recreation then your issue is much more yang. Dry hands with a company handshake is yet another signal of a yang condition.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                           If you want to know far more about Yin Yang and I Ching Astrology, go to .Next week Jon looks at the Ancient 5 Transformations of Chinese Philosophy and their connection with I Ching Astrology.
