For oriental culture, Yin and Yang represent the 2 forces that when combined originate energy and creation, and this vision persisted in many cultures not only with Feng Shui, but also with health, medicine and food.
These two opposed forces, are actually interdependent, without the idea of cold, we wouldn’t be able to describe heat, so all that exists is guided by Yin and Yang polarity.
As we observe this mechanism as a circle, the energy flows clockwise, so the highest point of the circle is where maximum Yang takes place and consequently where Yin is born.
The same will happen when Yin reaches its maximum and Yang will be born, which takes place in December 21st, the longest night and the shortest day of the year.
So generally, we can describe the Yin energy as:
- The moon, winter, night, darkness,feminine, interior, low, quietness, passiveness, earth,cold, soft, calm waters, gardens, sleep…
