“Yin and Yang”

6 - 8 Minutes

1. Perspectives as Tool for Insight

a. Different views give different insights

i. The way we see things, the models we use to view life affect

whether we have clarity or confusion, and thus whether or not we

can see what needs to be done, make a decision, and make positive

change

ii. Micro vs. macro – satellites vs. cameras

1. macro or big view - to see weather patterns we need a

satellite – we can see big problems like hurricanes coming

ahead of time – Chinese medicine does this better than

western medicine, and yin yang categorization is one

reason

2. micro - but to deal with real life specifics we need to be on

the scene – Chinese medicine can deal with micro, but not

as micro as WM, though it does affect the same

microsystems in the body.

iii. Simple categorization of life to enable you to balance yourself

1. yin and yang are simply a way to categorize opposites

2. it’s a simplistic way to look at things, but it means we can

use it for practically anything

3. by the way, yang rhymed with song, nor sang. People get

this wrong all the time. But now you know the way Chinese

people and Chinese medicine practitioners pronounce it.

b. Yin yang glasses (got the idea to wear sunglasses with yin yang symbols

on them) – I’m going to teach you how to see things through the lens of

yin and yang and then tell you how you can use it practically to improve

your life and health

2. Define yin and yang

a. give examples

i. light is yang, dark is yin, on/off, fast/slow, loud/quiet, etc., type

A/B personalities

ii. heavy metal vs. ambient or classical, but yin and yang are relative,

so some classical music is more yang and some is more yin

iii. you may be relatively type A, or yang, among this group, but

compared to someone else you might seem lethargic and yin

iv. I’m speaking so I’m yang, and you’re listening, so you’re yin

b. Now I’d like you to get a little more yang – can you tell me some other

examples of yin and yang?

3. Yin and yang mutually transforming
