"Yin Yang is an ancient symbol rooting in the Chinese philosophy describing the forces of the Universe. These primer forces emerging from the One may appear as opposites such as night and day, shadow and light, feminine and masculine but they are rather complementary qualities to each other. Fully balanced they are in unity as they are also part of each other, one would not exist if the other disappeared. In western cultures and mythologies, the first appearance of the two emerging from the unity of the one was when the Sky separated from the Earth. The sky became masculine and Earth a feminine quality. Later from these two many other qualities emerged that were known as the different gods and goddesses of the ancient civilizations. Living in this polarized reality we experience everything in duality. Balance is an essential necessity for our well-being. It is a never-ending dance of giving and receiving, acting and reacting, talking and listening, laughing and crying. The constant change of day and night, hot and cold, up and down, in and out. In science, it appears too as negative and positive, the poles of the electricity or the poles of the magnetic fields. If we overdo it one way or the other, we lose our balance and harmony. The best way to get it back is to find out what our needs are and act or react on that accordingly...."
