The Yin Yang principle is the preeminent ancient Chinese secret offering explanation to everything that exists, changes or moves. Its origin comes from observing the very essence of the Universe – from darkness there is light.

Yin Yang theory embodies the fine aspect of duality.  Understanding Yin & Yang is in fact the key to unlocking the finer aspects of Chinese Metaphysics studies.  Differentiation of Yin & Yang can be presented as below:

Yin               Yang
Female         Male
Darkness     Brightness
Stillness       Movement
Mountain     Water

Because we can see darkness and we can see light, they appear to be separated yet they are connected in every possible way. It is this connective quality that Yin Yang theory is all about. However, manyy people will try to identify Yin and Yang as separate and to judge which one you relate to or prefer over the other. This is a wrong mentality!

 This  tendency prevents us from accessing the power of the Chinese principle. So to harness the power of Yin Yang, we must embrace both Yin and Yang and observe without judgment.
