Yin Yang
Is the idea of "Yin and Yang" in Asian philosphy having to deal with negative and positive emotions?
and how popular is "hypno therapy" there in Asian countries for healing people with abusive child hoods, bad or traumatising experieinces as children there that has "Scarred" their channels for expressing themselves in normal natural way?
please explain a bit of the history to on this?
and how it related to "Yin Yang principles?
does india have same idea there too?
where else?
thanks for your answers!
Hi scott,
Put simply it is all about balance
You have an illness?
Your mind and body are out of balance
Emotional problems... ditto.
Get the idea?
I use the term in my description of people with internal mental problems an imbalance that's all.
Deep rooted childhood problems need more than a redressing of the conscious awareness, but everyday problems like you getting out of step with life can ea silly be remedied.
The ancients of Northern India some 5,000 years ago, actually visited China as it is told in sanskrit and taught them about mind healing and natural remedies.
The meaning of yinyang is inherent in and illustrated by the symbol for it. The circle around the outside represents the Tao or single principle, great void or Great Ultimate; and from this single principle comes everything.
This principle is then divided into two opposite principles that interact with each other: yin (the black half) and yang (the white half). These two opposing principles provide everything – an analogy would be that all the millions of colours found in nature (and with a computer you can choose from a palette of 16.7 million) are produced from the three primary pigment colours of red, yellow and blue (or red, green and blue if you are looking at the optical spectrum). The yin and yang principles accomplish the changes in the universe through the five agents (elements) of wood, earth, fire, water, and metal. The Taoists can explain the workings of the universe through the yin and yang interactions of the five agents as they interchange, oppose, merge, yield to, overcome, birth, feed off one another.
With the yang principle come the more outward aspects: maleness, creation, upwards, dominance, active, hot, expanding, strong, and so on and in tai chi yang is the solid outward pushes, out-breaths, and attacking moves. The yin on the other hand, indicates aspects of femaleness, downward-movement, moon, cold, submission, dark, passive, contracting weak, and so on; and in tai chi yin are the inward defensive movements, in-breaths.
That is not to say that yin is the weaker partner: Cheng Mang-chin’s form of tai chi chuan used the yin principles of yielding to use the opponent’s yang attacks and strength against them to achieve successful outcomes. This is illustrated in the yin-yang symbol: instead of an absolute and static line divided down the middle, the division is instead flowing curves – each side not only pushes into and dominates the other, but also yields and is dominated by the other. There is no antagonism here between the two (such a dark/light concept is more to be found in the apochryphical religions of the West and Middle East) but a complementary existence. Each nourishes, sustains and controls the other, and each depends upon the other to exist. So by illustrating these opposites in this way, they are shown as complementary, rather than absolutes. The Taoist principles of yin/yang states and the way that they describe everything in nature show the two in constant movement. It also shows very effectively that they gradually change into each other – yin eventually changes into yang, yang eventually metamorphoses into yin.
Into these constantly moving opposites comes balance and equilibrium. In the symbol we see a small circle or dot of the opposite colour within each of the halves – again a reinforcement that there are no absolutes in yinyang. Bluntly put, in every yang there is a little yin, and vice-versa. This can be extrapolated out to all aspects of the universe: in every male there is a little female, in every light there is a little dark, and in every evil there is a little good, and so on. In tai chi chuan, a yin movement of grasping an opponents incoming fist (yang punch) and yielding your body to allow your opponent’s own momentum to take the fist (and its attached owner) past out of harms way and into an overbalanced vulnerable state is helped on its way by a little yang pushing…
It would be pleasing if you could bother to put a thumbs up, or even a comment after out effortd to help you.
Common decency.
Best wishes
