Yang

Yin and Yang are opposing components of one integrated whole. They are totally interdependent, interacting constantly so as to maintain the normality and integrity of the whole. Each in turn tends to dominate over the other, but no total dominance is permanent and eventually the other takes its turn as the dominant force. This interplay of opposing forces establishes the basis of all existence and all change.

Yang is defined as that part of a cycle in which energy is being expended in order to create a manifest action.

Yin is often associated with rest, receptivity and quietude, while Yang is associated with action, expansion and movement. Yin should not be thought of as the absence of Yang. Nor should it be automatically associated with weakness. Yin is at the very core of existence. Yin is in fact the very substance of life, and it is absolutely essential to all functioning. Yang on the other hand is the functional aspect of any process and is also essential to life. Yang sometimes seems more obvious than the inward manifesting Yin, but there is no Yang without Yin.

There is always Yang within Yin, and Yin within Yang. Complete separation of Yin and Yang means dissolution of the system, and in humans means death.
