On Behalf of TVLesson.com, I’m Dr. Justin Newman, Doctor of Oriental Medicine with TheBanyanHolistic.com.
Let’s talk a little bit about the yin and the yang. Although everything is connected as a unified whole, there seemed to be complimentary parts, night and day, hot and cold, so on and so forth. This is actually an illusion. It seems like everything is separate in terms of night and day. But really, night becomes day and day becomes night. If you know the symbol of the yinyang, the tai chi is the black and white circles with the dots. Well, we understand that there are changes one into the other. The yin becomes yang and the yang becomes yin, but there is a little bit of yang inside of yin and a little bit of yin inside of yang. Because although some aspects of the whole are invisible, they are still a part of the infinite field of potential. They have yet to manifest, but they do.
Understanding the relationship between the visible and the invisible, understanding the subtle changes from night and day or how the energy from this unified field of energy, how it manifests in your system is important. There is a pattern of changes that occur. There is a progression of changes from one point to the other so that the energy that is inherent in the system reaches a maximum point and then begins to change into its opposite. As we reach the maximum point of yin, the energy begins to change in yang. And as we reach the maximum point of yang, the energy begins to change into yin.
If we look at a patient’s health and well being, understanding the balance of yin and yang and how it manifests in their system is imperative. Yin represents nourishment, yang represents energy like water and like fire. So it’s important to see how these energies balance in their systems so that you can construct the most effective diagnosis and treatment plan possible.
