Where Are You Off Balance?

February 8th 2010

The concept of balance is a key principle in Chinese Medicine. But unfortunately, I have bad news for you.  Finding balance is an ongoing process.
You will never “finally” arrive at balance and stay there.  It is a constant fluctuating dynamic, which requires you to constantly find your center.
Nature is inherently balanced. That is [...]

Recognizing The Hidden Possibilities

February 1st 2010

In the yin and yang symbol, notice that the image shows a small dot of darkness within the white light and the a dot of white light within the darkness.

What this means…
In your deepest despair, it will be difficult to feel hope.  And yet, inherent in the darkness is light, though often it is barely [...]

Find The Center In the Yin and Yang.

November 3rd 2009

And getting into neutral is an ideal goal.  The goal after all is balance.

However, at any given time, Yin can accumulate and overpower Yang or [...]

Yin & Yang Applied In Real Life

October 7th 2009

This one principle is so simple and yet so profound.  I find that it can be applied in so many aspects of living [...]
