Yin and Yang

YIN AND YANG WHAT?

Ok, so tell me, what's the diff between Yin and Yang?

I'm tryin' to understand this Yin and Yang thing. It's complicated, too complicated if you ask me. Meowmuh says it's about having balance. I can walk a beam. Is that balance? Oh, you mean 'inner' balance?  People love me and I love them. So, I must be balanced there too, know what I'm sayin'?  But you already knew that.

FELINE YIN AND YANG

This is a feline representation of the Chinese symbol for Yin and Yang. The whole is greater than the assembled parts. Opposite forces can oppose and compliment each other. Examples:  light & dark, fire & water, expanding & contracting, old & young. Chinese medicine is directly related to the balance between Yin and Yang qualities within oneself.

YIN AND YANG

YIN is the Black Side with the White Dot and YANG is the White Side with the Black Dot. Picture the sun moving over a mountain and valley. Yin is the shady, dark area; Yang is the sunny, brightly lit area.  As the sun moves across the sky, they gradually trade places revealing what was obscured and obscuring what was revealed. YIN is characterized as slow, soft, yielding, diffuse, cold, wet and passive; it is associated with water, earth, the moon, femininity and nighttime.  YANG, by contrast is fast, hard, solid, focused, hot, dry and active; it is associated with fire, sky, the sun, masculinity and daytime.
