Ray of Mission and properties of stones. Yin Yang symbol: masculine and feminine The forces of yin and yang in everyday life

YIN-YANG concept, philosophy and treatment methods from China

The ideological basis of ancient Chinese medicine was the doctrine of two opposite principles, yin and yang. Initially, the hieroglyphs used to write them denoted phenomena Everyday life. For example, yin meant the dark side of an object, yang meant the illuminated side. Later, yin and yang began to be considered as “forces” or “energies”, or as material complementary phenomena (sides) of the objective world, and therefore any phenomenon, any creature and each of its states can be attributed to two opposite forms - yin or yang . Everything that can be classified as strong, hot, hard, heavy, high, shiny, as well as certain significant signs is yang, and everything opposite is yin. Thus, activity and rest, light and darkness, excitement and inhibition, intangibility and physicality and many other pairs of mutually opposite phenomena, objects and properties can be perceived from the perspective of the concept of yin - yang as the unity and struggle of two opposites, or “polar forces” - yang (active force) and yin (passive force). Moreover, neither yang nor yin can exist in isolation from each other. Using the concept of yin - yang, you can express the opposite sides of a phenomenon. For example, in the summer heat (yang) reigns; after the summer solstice, yin weather gradually begins to predominate, which fights the heat (yang) and limits it; Winter is the peak of cold (yin), and after the winter solstice, yak weather gradually sets in, limiting the yin of winter. The classic Chinese medical treatise Lei Ching Fu-i, dating back to the Ming Dynasty (1368-1644), states that states of increased activity should be regulated by rest; if yang has reached its climax, it must be overcome with the help of yin. This expresses the mutual control of rest and movement, that is, yin and yang.

One of the main provisions of the yin-yang concept is that yin and yang are in a state of confrontation and limit each other. If one side predominates, there is a deficiency of the other side and, conversely, when one side is weakened, the other becomes excessively strong. Without this struggle, the necessary control of opposites is impossible. In the book "Su-wen" it is written that yin fights inside, and yang causes excitement outside (i.e., it indicates that yin is in charge of the internal environment, and yang is in charge of external manifestations). In the same book it is written that when yin and yang oppose each other above and below, the phenomena of emptiness and filling arise; at the same time, yin and yang “replace each other” (that is, both opposite principles never remain without interaction and contradictions, moreover, they confront and displace each other). The constant struggle and desire to supplant each other that exists between yin and yang is the driving force behind the change and development of things.

How the polar opposites of yin and yang depend on each other; for example, yang means top, yin means bottom (without top there can be no bottom, and vice versa). In accordance with traditional ancient ideas left-hand side body corresponds to yang, and the right - yin ("without right side there is no left, without the left there is no right"); heat corresponds to yang, cold - yin ("without heat there is no cold, without cold there is no heat"). Overflow, or excess function, corresponds to yang; emptying, or weakness of function, corresponds to yin (" without overflow there is no emptying, without emptiness there is no filling"). Traditional Eastern medicine takes into account numerous relationships in the human body and in nature, based on the relationship between yin and yang. Each side creates the most important condition the existence of the other side. This interdependence of yin and yang is indicated in Chinese“mutual root” and reveals the idea that yin and yang serve as a derivative principle for each other, that is, they mutually cause each other: yin is not able to produce itself, it needs yang for this, and vice versa.

In relation to the structures and functions of the human body, yin means the material components of the body, a. yang - its functions. The activities of the body belong to the category of yang, and food substances belong to the yin category: yin is stored internally and is the material basis for yang, and yang functions externally as a manifestation of yin activities. Since the material principle is located inside the body, in traditional medicine it is said shn' inside." Since the functions of the body manifest themselves mainly on the outside of the body, they say: "yang sits outside"; yang thus becomes the "messenger of yin." In accordance with the ideas of modern Western medicine, the structures of organs located inside the body form the material basis for various functions, which in traditional medicine is expressed in the words: “yin is the guardian of yang.”

Yin and yang are never at rest; they constantly complement and change each other. According to Eastern ideas, the rule is: “If yang recedes, yin increases, and if yin recedes, yang increases.” For example, the weather undergoes changes from winter through spring to summer, becoming hotter - this corresponds to the retreat of yin and the increase of yang; When the weather cools from summer through autumn to winter, a process occurs that is equivalent to the retreat of yang with an increase in yin. In traditional medicine, it is believed that organ functions (yang) arise from the consumption of food (yin), thereby increasing yang and weakening yin. At the same time, the metabolism of substances obtained from food (yin) requires the expenditure of a certain amount of energy (yang). In this case, yin is strengthened and yang is weakened. Under normal conditions, these processes are in equilibrium. If the weakening or strengthening goes beyond certain limits, the state of balance may be disrupted - an excess of yin or yang occurs, which leads to the emergence of various pathological processes.

Both sides of the relationship between yin and yang can undergo development, which is expressed in their transformation into their own opposite. Thus, yin can turn into yang, and yang into yin, and if the processes of contraction and increase of yin and yang consist of quantitative changes, the process of transformation of yin and yang (and vice versa) represents a change in quality. The book "Su-wen" says: "When yin reaches its maximum, it turns into yang... When cold reaches its peak, it becomes heat, when heat reaches its peak, cold arises." However, yin cannot undergo transformation without the presence of a certain amount of yang, and yang cannot undergo transformation without yin, i.e., the condition for a transformation to occur at all is the presence of a certain amount of the opposite principle. Thus, the yin-yang concept includes the following elements that complement each other and cannot be imagined without each other:
1) the presence of opposition between yin and yang;
2) interdependence of yin and yang;
3) mutual complement and limitation of yin and yang;
4) mutual transformation of yin and yang.

The dialectical yin-yang model must be considered in the unity of its individual elements, without losing sight of their internal dependence and mutual influence. It is also necessary to take into account that both poles (yin and yang) can be both cause and effect.

The yin-yang concept serves as the basis not only for the theoretical concepts of ancient oriental medicine, but also as the basis for diagnosis and treatment. In doing so, we proceeded from the following provisions. The basis of the life activity of the human body is a balanced ratio of yin and yang, complete “harmony” of their manifestation. Violation of this balance leads to pathology, expressed (in general terms) either in the predominance of yang or yin, or in the weakening of yang or yin. In general, any physical or mental condition in which there is excess compared to the accepted norm is classified as a yang state, and deficiency is considered a yin state (for example, fever is a yang state, and chills are a yin state). In other words, all the typical symptoms of various painful conditions can be divided into two main groups, which define two of the main, “guiding” syndromes - yang syndrome and yin syndrome.

Based on the principle of balance of yin and yang, the main goal of treatment was to restore the disturbed balance of yin - yang, ensuring “harmony” (which, according to modern ideas, is the task of restoring homeostasis, stimulating the body’s defenses and reactivity), to which ancient oriental physicians attached primary importance .

POPULAR INTERPRETATIONS OF THE CONCEPT OF YIN-YANG

Everything must be in a state of balance. If the energies do not correspond to each other, troubles arise, problems begin. The traditional Chinese view of earth energies is a cosmology of yin and yang, which are considered to be the original opposing forces and cannot exist without one another, that is, without yin there is no yang, and without yang there is no yin. Yang is the masculine principle, yin is the feminine. When united, they form Tao - the universal principle by which a person connects with the universe and which allows a person to discover the universe within himself.

As can be seen from the table, yin and yang are two complementary opposites, each with its own attributes and energy fields. Yin and yang cannot exist without each other. This interaction of opposites is the traditional symbol of the universe. The light side of the circle is yang, but there is also a dark point of yin energy. Yin energy is the dark side of the circle, it also contains a light point - yang energy. Where yin and yang are in balance, the Tao exists. These two principles must be in perfect harmony, so they need to be given a lot of attention. If somewhere the balance of yin and yang is greatly disturbed, then this place is considered unfavorable or generally unsuitable for human habitation. For example, hot barren deserts are pure yang, and cold Antarctic glaciers are pure yin, and humans cannot live there.

Each person also has an individual yin-yang balance. An energetic, sociable, noisy person clearly has a predominance of yang, while a shy and withdrawn person has a predominance of yin. Therefore, a shy person will be very uncomfortable in a home or other place where yang predominates, and vice versa. This also needs to be taken into account. By introducing qualities that are opposite to your own into the environment, you can achieve excellent results, dispelling despondency or calming violent emotions.

It is no secret that when recognizing one’s ray or sub-ray, a person often resists and says that “he is not like that.”

Indeed, it is not always that a person has clearly developed precisely those qualities that contribute to his successful self-realization on the territory of his “native” ray. One might assume that it is mainly the “dark archers” (the Devil and the Moon) who resist, but in fact no - they usually (if they are “broken”) they quite clearly feel that this is all about them.

And most often among those who somewhat “resist” there are: Magi(“I don’t invent anything new, I don’t know how, and in general, I’m a sensory person (in socionics)”), Jesters-Fools (“I’m serious, I don’t like it when they laugh at me, how can I break the rules when my mother...” - and so on), sometimes Powers(imagine a Yang Power that very persistently, raising its voice, occupying all the space and, as they say, pushing, tells you how timid it is, does not know how to insist on its own, does not know how to lead.. - then, however, they usually agree). Empresses come across people who have long been eager to become a “business woman” and are now not ready to learn that their main task is to take care of people, about family, to create intimacy.. If they are childless (and this often happens to them, since they suffer and receive lessons precisely on the territory of their “native” ray - then they usually get pregnant, when they sort themselves out), then they immediately say straight away: “What are family values? I don’t have children and never will.” Whatever arguments they give for not noticing this part of their life (not all, of course) - nothing, then they comprehend and agree, they begin to work with themselves. The remaining rays are usually not particularly “resistant”.

All I’m saying is that we are not necessarily born very “similar” to our ray. If the soul is ancient or the karma is heavy, then very often the corresponding qualities must first be developed in oneself, making sidhi (magical properties) out of one’s shortcomings. And life constantly pushes us towards this. Including through a visit to a tarot readerJ

In order to help a person develop certain qualities, it makes sense to recommend some stones whose properties enhance the corresponding abilities. Those of my clients to whom I recommended the stones are very satisfied and wear them with pleasure, so I highly recommend them.

For Magavery suit rhinestone (Yin stone). As we remember, in order for the Magician to come up with ideas given by God, it is very important for him to have purity of intentions (the symbol on the “Magician” card, like white clothes, reminds us of this) and to be able to concentrate in order to to realize the idea. At the same time, the socionic intuition of possibilities is not very important for the Magician, because the Magician is distinguished not by the abundance of ideas, but by the fact that his ideas are successful, given by God, and already contain everything necessary for their implementation. These are ideas that seem to want to be realized on their own, bringing in the right people and the right resources. So, rhinestone kills unnecessary astral clichés and helps a person concentrate. It greatly enhances intuition and increases awareness. Rock crystal gives a person clear consciousness and purity of intentions - exactly what is needed for ideas to come. There are some rules that make sense to follow when choosing a stone: rock crystal should be without kinks and “hairs”, because this greatly loses its properties. If you have a stone on a piece of rock, then you don’t need to charge it, it charges itself. If not, then once a week for a day it needs to be buried in rich soil (or in a flower pot). Rock crystal should be “yours” - it will resonate with you personally when you find it, and can even cause strong physical reactions such as dizziness. Therefore, you need to approach the choice of stone consciously and carefully. A stone that is not “yours” will also work, but worse.

Stones Popesses(or destroyed Moon) are considered moonstones: selenite, adularia, belomarite (Yin stones). They enhance the ability of clairvoyance, clairaudience and claircognizance. They sharpen intuition and help to hear the flow (including working with cards and other predictive systems). Once a month, such a pebble should lie on the windowsill on a moonlit night (for example, on a full moon) to charge, otherwise it will stop working.

One more stone Popess- This malachite (Yin stone), a stone for free, independent and self-realized women, but at the same time living happily with their beloved men. ForPapessQuite often she calls into her life men who are “servants of the Pope” - but she wants intimacy and “earthly” love, creating a family. AEmpressesthe stone will be useful for just the opposite - to remember their professional fulfillment if they are completely devoted to their family. The stone is good for those who haveray and sub-ray - Popess (or Moon) and Empress and there is a need to balance these two slightly contradictory parts within yourself. In other words, the stone gives a feeling of its integrity and helps to combine a beloved husband and a favorite job. In addition, malachite, due to its general ability to promote integrity and balance, has a very good effect on health, regulating the functioning of the entire body. For men, malachite is a stone that increases material wealth, if he is going to spend money on the woman he loves.

Also Empressescan I recommend amazonite (Yin stone). It patronizes the hearth, children, and family happiness. Develops purely feminine wisdom, the ability to interact harmoniously with men, to find the right words, create intimacy - that is, the traits and abilities of the Empress. For men, this stone is relevant only if they want to better understand their women or if the task is to find a woman who will show the qualities of the Empress in relation to him, this is mainly not about romance, but about family and marriage.

Beams and subbeamsPopes, as well as destroyedDevilscan I recommend amethyst (Yang stone). It facilitates connection with the Higher Self and Spirit Guide. Is greatly enhanced in tandem with sapphire (connection with Egregor of the Mission). The stone promotes any creative activity where a good and strong flow is needed (writing, etc.).

Representatives of dark rays (Moon, Devil) can I recommend about sidian (Yang stone). It protects against bad intentions and helps to cope with devilish energies - anger, aggression, etc. Helps to get rid of various kinds addictions (gambling, etc.). Drives away larva (severe negative thoughts or experiences). Discourages the desire to lie (in children).

Hawkeye, Tiger's Eye (Tao stones) - give the ability to sharply throw out all the energy in one direction and withstand the battle. They help with indecision, inability to concentrate, show will, and overcome the resistance of circumstances. Moreover, the tiger's eye acts more in tactical matters, and the falcon's eye - in strategic ones, helps to set priorities and highlight the main thing. It makes sense for representatives of the ray and sub-ray to wear these stonesPowers.

Stone Shutov-Fools- This aventurine (Yang stone). This is a stone of wit and easy winnings, daring. It attracts money and helps you invest it successfully. It should not be worn by players, as it increases excitement, but it is very useful to wear for calm and balanced people (such as Taurus and Virgo) to bring a little drive into their lives.

For the remaining rays, no specific stones have yet been identified, but it is possible that over time they will be found. In the meantime, if you wish, you can wear some of the ones listed, whose description “purrsed.” This allows you to call upon the energies and properties of the corresponding card into your life, even if the “native” ray is some other one. And of course,everyonewithout exception favorable to wear sapphires , which strengthen the connection with the Egregor of the mission and help tune in to the “native” energies.

Rules for using stones :

1. 1) Cannot be combinedon one person yin and yang stones- they need to be worn in turn, otherwise they conflict and weaken each other.

2. 2) Cleaning stones: the stone is cleaned of physical dirt, then placed at the bottom of a glass and placed for an hour under running cold tap water. After this you can wear it. If you want, you can breathe a soul into the pebble by sharply exhaling on it after cleaning and immediately calling it by name.

3. 3) It's better if the stone is a gift , because gifted stones (or products with them) begin to work immediately, and those that a person bought himself - only after six months.

4. 4) The energy of the stone remains on a person twice as long as he carried it on himself (for example, if you wear a stone for an hour, then for another two hours). Therefore, it is fashionable, for example, to wear yang stones and day - yin stones, then the properties of all these stones will affect you.

Aventurine(from Italian "peravventura" - "random") - a fine-grained variety of quartz containing evenly scattered, approximately equally oriented small flakes of mica or hematite. Pure clear quartz sometimes contains fine hairy crystals of rutile. Aventurine deposits are usually associated with metamorphic quartzite sequences; the most significant are in India, Brazil, and Russia.

Awakens the energy of daring and excitement, suitable for those who want to feel like a winner. It is not advisable to give or purchase a stone for yourself to already gambling people. The stone gives greater mental mobility. Stone of wit, easy winnings, finding good decisions and attracting money, approach enterprising people. If the child has little initiative, you can give this stone. If we connect it with the Archetypes of the Tarot, then aventurine in its energy is the stone of the Jester-Fool, everyone who is according to the Ray or Sub-Ray of the "Jester" Mission is your stone.

Obsidian (volcanic glass), glassy volcanic rock. Formed when viscous acidic lava hardens. There are two types: Snow-black with white dots and like dark glass, but they have the same properties. Anyone who is not a geologist can imagine what processes occur during a volcanic eruption, what temperatures and the power of everything that happens. This is definitely a Yan stone.

Protects from bad intentions, drives away bad ones, each of us has a dark beginning, as K.G. wrote. Jung "dark part", conscious and unconscious fears. Severe obsession, gambling, addictions - alcohol, drugs, etc. It can be given to children if they have a habit of lying or stealing - the stone has stopping properties that drive away heavy negative thoughts. The Aztecs made knives from obsidian. If you cook food and use a knife made of obsidian, it kills bad bacteria and removes toxins from the physical body. You can twist an obsidian rosary when you're angry. A stone for representatives of the dark, destroyed Rays of the Devil, the Moon.

Hematite- from the Greek word "haimatos", which means "blood". Other names for the mineral and its varieties: bloodstone, sanguine, iron kidney, red ironstone. Black or dark red shiny mineral, iron oxide. It is often called black pearl. Since ancient times, it has been a powerful talisman, amulet and amulet at the same time. Hematite is often counterfeited en masse in the form of cheap bracelets, beads or rings “for three rubles”. This is not natural hematite, but a special ceramic fake. In order to distinguish hematite from a fake or other stone, you need to forcefully rub it across unglazed porcelain (earthenware), and the hematite will leave a red mark. Bloodstone is a stone of strong, persistent people. It should be worn in silver.

Its main advantage is to relieve the owner from attacks of anger and rash actions, to feel confident and protected because hematite makes it possible to influence other people, events and many processes. It helps to accumulate and use energy the way the owner wants it. However, we must remember that the stone itself can cause a lot of trouble for a person who wants to harm others: hematite does not like to work for evil, although incorrect information is spread about it that the stone is almost a mandatory accessory of black magicians, sorcerers, etc. On the contrary, hematite is a stone of soothsayers, allowing one to penetrate into the secrets of nature in order to help a person, and about his medicinal properties volumes can be written. Bloodstone was widely used in medieval magic. The magician did not dare to summon spirits without a ring with blood on his finger. A stone for magicians and spellcasters, it protects against evil forces. It contains the power of Mars and enormous energy, allowing those who wear this stone to influence other people.

People who have bloodstone jewelry that has nothing to do with magic can wear it calmly, it will not threaten anything, but it will not bring happiness either. The properties are the same as those of turquoise, it attracts people’s attention, you won’t go unnoticed, it gives charisma, but in a tougher form than with turquoise. Mages should be careful with this stone.

Helps with diseases of the blood and reproductive organs.

Amethyst- a type of quartz. The color is due to the structural admixture of iron (Fe). Amethysts have been known since ancient times. The stone was credited with the ability to protect a person from intoxication, and its name translated from Greek means “free from intoxication”, “non-drinker”. It was given to the stone on the basis of the curious but erroneous belief that the wearer of this stone would not become intoxicated even if he or she did not drink alcoholic beverages without restraint. Pliny the Elder put forward another version: “The name that this stone bears is said to come from a peculiar color that approaches... the color of wine.” However, more knowledgeable people argued that the purple color of the stone is rather closer to the color of the flame.

And if we look at the color of the chakras, because it is the crown chakra of Sahasrara that has a purple color, Amethyst establishes a connection with our Higher Self (Spirit), helps with initiation somewhere into Reiki, for example, and also if you are a creative person (writer, artist, tarot reader, etc.), where a good, strong flow is needed - amethyst will play its role without a doubt. Amethyst works very strongly together with Sapphire ( Blue colour, see below), they reinforce each other. The blue line is our Vishuddha and Ajna. The Higher Self is the 5th, 6th and 7th body (Vishuddha, Ajna, Sahasrara), as we remember.

Ancient people called amethyst the widow's stone because it symbolized Eternity. And if one of the spouses outlived the other, he began to wear an amethyst in his ring, as a symbol of unchanging love for the departed. This stone is for representatives of the Papa Rays.

Sapphire- named from the Greek "sappheiros" - a blue or blue valuable stone (before the 13th century lapis lazuli), derived from the Babylonian (Akkadian) "sipru" scratching or Hebrew sapphire for transparent blue corundum, this name was proposed in the 18th century. G. Vallerius. Synonyms: safir, azure yakhont, blue yakhont. The name "sapphire" comes, according to one version, from the ancient Indian word canipriya - beloved by Saturn. Another name for the mineral is azure yakhont. Sapphire is a precious stone. All sapphire-level gemstones (diamonds, beryls, etc.) are dangerous due to their defects - cracks, spots, cloudy areas. And we must remember that stones of good water, transparent, without blemishes are extremely rare in stores, but whoever looks for will always find...

The host rocks of sapphire deposits are marbles (metamorphic) or basalts (igneous). They are also formed in pegmatites, but are mined mainly from alluvial placers or weathering crusts, less often from bedrock.

It is considered a stone of fidelity, modesty, and chastity. It is a transparent corundum (aluminum oxide) of blue color. Sapphire owes its unique color to the combination of titanium and iron. Other shades of stone, except blue, are called “Fantasy”. Orange-colored corundums are called “Padparadscha,” and colorless ones are called “Leucosapphire.” In Western gemological terminology, sapphire (with an adjective indicating color) refers to transparent corundum of any color except red and orange, although the English gemologist G. Smith notes that sapphire is always a blue stone. Nowadays, in addition to blue sapphires, transparent corundums of any color except red are included, i.e. green, yellow, purple, orange, pink.

Sapphire is considered a symbol of the heavenly dome, a stone of reflection and contemplation. The priests of the Temple of Jupiter constantly wore cornflower-colored sapphires in their rings. Sapphires were used to decorate the clothes of clergy in Judea and India. They decorated Cleopatra's crown. It is believed that the blue color of sapphire and its energy field calm, relieve excitement, and calm raging passions. Sapphire is a cold and pure stone, therefore it is considered the stone of virginity. This stone is sometimes also called the "stone of nuns" as it has the ability to cool passions.

The stone is a talisman for prisoners, helping them to free themselves and winning over the authorities to their side. In general, it helps to “open” any doors, including the doors of life advancement, that is, it opens a path for a person, offering many options for personal development. Sapphire softens the wrath of the gods and is one of their favorite offerings. The stone activates a person’s spirituality, provides inspiration and sharpens the perception of the world. It connects a person through communication with angelic beings with the entire cosmos, with the universe and leads to God.

The stone is completely useless to egoists and dark personalities and will not work for such a usurper. It is not recommended for weak-willed and inactive people to wear it, as it will further deprive them of initiative. Wear it only when you really feel the spiritual power in yourself that needs to be developed and brought to people for their benefit; the stone is strong, it can both give and take away energy. A stone for those who feel connected to God.

The therapeutic effect of sapphire is very wide, and previously it was used for rheumatic pain, diseases of the spine, neuralgic pain, epilepsy, and hysteria. Sapphire is recommended to be worn around the neck, in a gold frame.

Topaz- (from the Latin "topazus", presumably going back to the Sanskrit word tapas - heat or fire) Other names for topaz: imperial, Brazilian ruby, heavyweight (in the Urals). Topaz comes in a wide variety of colors: from blue through light blue and green to wine yellow, orange, and pink. Colorless topazes are also found.

Strongest yin yang amulet- This is a reliable protection against dark forces. The reality around us is full of surprises, and they do not always bring us benefit. To protect yourself from completely unnecessary troubles, you should take care of your internal balance. It is at that moment when you feel harmony within yourself that you will stop taking external negativity to heart.

When the feminine and masculine principles coexist in a person, his biofield is invulnerable. The magic of the talisman is like a strong wall standing in the way of everything evil and bad.

While you are under the influence of the talisman, all destruction (especially on the astral level) is blocked. This ancient sign promotes the development of completely new qualities and emotions.

What does "Yin-Yang" mean?

The combination of two absolutely opposite energy forces - female and male - personifies an unusual symbol of the ancient Eastern world. Its name is equally unusual - yin-yang.

In some magical teachings, this element is associated with the moment of the origin of life and the entire Universe. Its strength lies in maintaining the necessary world balance. In other words, yin-yang (yang) controls everything that exists.

Correct use of symbol power allows you to develop Creative skills and balance the natural processes occurring in the body.

Each of us feels the influence of both feminine and masculinity. It doesn't depend on gender. Yin carries comfort, care for offspring, and warmth. Yang is associated with courage, production, and protection. When both energy components penetrate each other, something unique is created - complete harmony.

A woman should radiate her energy, and a man should radiate his. If it turns out the other way around, and a force that is inappropriate for him begins to dominate in a person, unfavorable transformations of the psyche and body occur. This results in various health and emotional problems.

The meaning of the Yin-Yang amulet

In recent years, many people have worn a sign in the form of a talisman or gotten a tattoo with this symbol. But not everyone knows about the real meaning of the magical image. Its history goes back to the distant past - this is probably one of the most ancient images that have survived to this day. And the strength of the “Yinyan” amulet is not inferior to other amulets.

Its purpose is protection from negativity, from evil, from foreign influence. Before using an amulet with yin-yang symbols, you should tune in to the same wavelength with it. Only after this the talisman will have a positive effect on its wearer.

You must familiarize yourself in detail with the information about two principles, about two sources. This is especially important if you decide to get a tattoo. After all, such an image will always be with you - you will not be able to remove it if you wish.

Female and male forces will interact with each other until a conflict occurs between them. The internal balance of the individual is directly related to everyone life situations. The more comfortable you feel, the easier everything will be for you.

Stones and metals of yin-yang energy

Each existing item has its own unique charge. Everything that surrounds us is endowed with energy. Some are associated with a minus sign, others with a plus sign. And together everything around interacts, connects, and forms complete harmony. If something is not happening correctly, it indicates an imbalance.

Yin Yang - masculine and feminine... Nowadays it’s even a shame not to know that all the things around us, and even we ourselves carry the masculine and feminine principles of yin and yang. Our entire boundless Universe consists of these two strong energies, which simply cannot exist without each other; they must always interact.

Let's say the space that is inside the cup is yin, but it cannot exist without the cup itself, which means the cup is yang. Black coffee poured into this cup is calm Yin energy, but the heat that the coffee gives off is active Yang energy.

About the merging of these principles, about their mutual transfusion and flow into each other, about the importance of taking this fact into account in decisions about life and internal problems say esotericists, lovers of Chinese philosophy of Feng Shui and psychologists.

Moreover, anyone who is well versed in the meaning of this symbol knows that it is not just the masculine and feminine principles, the yin yang philosophy is much broader and deeper. This ancient Chinese philosophical concept is used in many areas of our lives, from medicine to music.

As the yin yang philosophy teaches, the ultimate task for a person who wants to comprehend and understand the mysteries of the world around him and himself is to learn to control and correctly use the yin yang energies in order to come to true harmony with himself and the Universe.

Yin is the feminine principle, it is the lunar, dark side, it is intuition, gentleness, wisdom. Every person needs yin in a certain concentration in order to develop creative abilities, show emotions, sense and sense the slightest changes within themselves and around them.

Yin is our inner self, which we often do not listen to or take care of, which leads to disharmony. Passive feminine energy symbolizes chaos, the one that existed before the appearance of all material things.

Yin, in search of harmony, strives for the opposite of yang. Therefore, a woman is advised to enhance her femininity, softness, and natural essence. Then the man will be attracted to her like a magnet. Experts who deeply study this issue are skeptical about such a statement, contrary to law Tao.

Yin is always peace as opposed to yang activity. Therefore, a true woman carries peace within herself. When female peace collides with male activity, merging, these two energies align and come to balance. This explains the harmony in some couples that seem ideal to us, but the relationship between them is incomprehensible.

No one can teach a woman to be feminine, everything is already inside her, you need to be able to feel the yin in yourself. As soon as a woman begins to awaken the feminine principles in herself, it means that she will begin to act, and this is a matter of yang energy. As a result, there is no harmony again.

Yang masculine

Hot, assertive, active yang energy embodies real life Yin "ideas". Logic, intelligence, common sense, life direction - all this is inherent in masculine energy.

Yang is bright side, this is clarity, precision, dominance. If yin is the moon, then yang is the sun. Frozen and calm yin energy provokes strong yang energy into action and external manifestations.

It is important that in all their manifestations, yin and yang do not contradict each other, but rather complement each other.

History of the Yin Yang Symbol

The Chinese saw the Buddhist yin-yang symbol and transferred it to their philosophy. And this event happened in the first-third centuries AD. The black and white image of yin and yang originally imitated a mountain. On one side the mountain is illuminated by the sun, and the other side of the hill is in the shadow, that is, darkened. As you know, the sun changes its position, and that part of the mountain that was dark becomes light under the influence of the sun and vice versa. Thus, literally everything in life goes through its cycle.

The symbol was understood as a confrontation between good and bad, good and evil, harmful and useful. However, experts who understand Taoism say that the symbol must be understood through the prism of opposites in nature. This has nothing to do with morality and ethics.

Symbol meaning and philosophical concept

The yin yang symbol is a circle divided into two equal halves, similar to droplets or fish. One side even circle black and the other white, but in each drop there is a point: inside the dark half there is white dot, and on the light half there is a black dot.

The circle itself is our Universe, and it is infinite. Inside this Universe, two energies live, interact and complement each other - yin and yang, masculine and feminine. They are different, but are able to penetrate each other - this is indicated by the dots inside each half. The fact that there is no clear boundary between these halves is indicated by the wavy line that separates them.

If you look at this symbol, you will get the impression that the image inside the circle-Universe is moving, the halves smoothly flow into one another, the energies merge and separate again, and so on endlessly. Thanks to such metamorphoses, the Universe exists.

The theory of Taoist philosophy, described in the “Book of Changes,” is that everything in the Universe moves, changes, penetrates each other, one does not exist without the other, despite the opposite. The communication of these two energies gives birth to the elements. There are only five of them: wood, earth, fire, water, metal, from which matter appears.

The forces of yin and yang in everyday life

Wherever we look, we will see the presence, manifestation, interaction of yin and yang. This applies to natural and everyday manifestations, as well as the internal state of a person, his spiritual fullness.

Yin is silence, darkness, cold, death, passivity. Yang is lightness, action, life. But literally everything has both yin and yang. Another thing is that one energy can be expressed more strongly than another, and a person’s task is to balance these elements.

That is, if you imagine that you put yin on one side of the scale and yang on the other, it is important that there is no overweight, the scales must be in balance, in this case we find harmony. The harmonious manifestation of yin and yang should be in our inner essence, in our apartment, in what we do and even in what we eat.

As psychologists who are inclined to perceive reality based on the Taoist movement say, people in whom Yang predominates, quite aggressive, assertive, trying to take a lot from life, these are bright, energetic natures.

If there is more YIN in a person, then he is usually lazy, often sad and bored, and often depressed. These people are very calm, creative, and have well-developed intuition.

If both energies are brought into balance, then the standard of living will become much better. It is important to understand yourself here. A person who understands what yin and yang are begins to look at the surrounding reality differently, he becomes very observant and sees how one can affect the other.

Some people tend to consider the manifestation of yin and yang only in the relationship between a man and a woman. This is not entirely correct, but if we look at this issue from different angles, this is how yang and yin manifest themselves in love: these energies must complement each other and balance.

For example, if a woman is too bright, noisy, proactive, talks a lot, laughs loudly, behaves demonstratively, then there is a lot of yang in her. If she is not able to find balance within herself, then in order for a woman to develop harmonious relationships with a man, the chosen one must carry a lot of Yin within himself, that is, be calm and cold. If, with such a woman, a man strives to dominate, command, and show yang energy, he will receive from her chosen one yin - isolation and depression.

During childbirth, a woman spends a lot of energy, giving birth to a new life. Yang energy is mainly involved in this process. After childbirth, a lot of yin remains inside the mother, which helps the woman take care of the baby and show kindness.

If you go on a diet and eat, for example, only vegetables or proteins, then by default you will upset the balance of the Universe, which means you will not achieve results or will achieve them for a very long time and in a stubborn struggle with yourself.

Yin Yang Talismans

If a person decides to wear a talisman or amulet in the form of a black and white circle, then he must well understand the meaning of yin and yang. Without this understanding, the talisman will not work, and it must help its owner maintain and balance these two energies within himself in order to be in harmony with himself and the world around him. That is, a person must tune in to his thing in a certain way in order for a connection to be established between them.

Magicians and esotericists advise holding your talisman under water before releasing it into your biofield. The energy of the Yin Yang talisman should be only yours, otherwise the symbol will not work for you.

They say that you need to talk to your talisman and share everything that worries you. So you activate your amulet, your Yin Yang sign

Meaning of Yin Yang Tattoo

A tattoo in the form of this mysterious symbol can be applied by both men and women. The desire to have this sign on the body indicates that a person is in search of harmony, strives to fill the space around him with meaning. They say that for people who constantly doubt and cannot come to terms with themselves, such an icon on the body will help them understand their life and change it for the better.

The girls are sure that when they leave the tattoo parlor with an Inyang image, they will immediately find a life partner. Experts advise hiding such an emblem-tattoo from the eyes of strangers. Therefore, it is better to apply the image on the stomach, chest, spine, although this is everyone’s business. The main thing is that the tattoo parlor is legal and with good craftsmen, otherwise, instead of harmony, you can acquire diseases.

If we consider that Tao is a path, then the essence of Taoist teaching is the search and finding of one’s life purpose. This means that by finding it and following it, a person finds that same harmony, that very balance of yin and yang energies. Living other people's lives, in pursuit of fame and money, we behave destructively, incorrectly, which means there can be no talk of any harmony. According to the sages, a person should live simply, and confusion takes away the Tao. Listen to yourself, and then you will understand where your Yang begins and your Yin ends.
