In a normal state of health, yin and yang harmoniously support and depend on each other for existence. In meditation, concentration on a single object ultimately results in universal awareness.Īpplying yin-yang theory to health is a dynamic and practical framework. Extremely energizing substances such as caffeine or sugar usually lead to a crash in energy after they wear off. Extreme yang activity (violence) leads to extreme yin (death). For example, extreme activity necessitates rest. When something yin or yang reaches its extreme it transforms into its opposite. Some examples of yin-yang pairs are passive/active substance/function inside/outside body/mind dark/light space/time cold/heat contraction/expansion. If either yin or yang predominate, the one in excess tends to consume the other. Yang is active and yin is passive, but nothing is pure yin or pure yang.This is why there is a dark spot within the white area of the yin-yang symbol and vice versa. The source of yin and yang, and all dualities, is that which is unified and unchanging. The yin-yang principle holds that all the phenomena of the universe can be understood as limitless pairs of opposites that interact according to these principles: Creative adaptability is the crux of yin-yang theory. Your own observations have probably shown you that if a plan is based on an unchanging structure that does not adapt with people’s needs, its long term success is unlikely. The application of yin and yang to real life is far reaching. They are descriptions of easily observed processes such as day turning into night, youth into old age, one season into the next. In this theory, yin and yang describe all known phenomena.

Particularly noteworthy are also the numerous interdisciplinary and intradisciplinary journals, such as Leviathan, Kritische Justiz (Critical Justice) and Rechtswissenschaft (Jurisprudence).The philosophy at the root of the traditional East Asian approach to health and well-being I use at Creekside Acupuncture is yin-yang theory. Many of these journals are leaders in their fields, such as Zeitschrift für Urheber- und Medienrecht(Journal for Copyright and Media Law), Zeitschrift für Umweltrecht (Journal for Environmental Law), Medien & Kommunikationswissenschaft (Media & Communication Science), Blätter der Wohlfahrtspflege (Public Welfare Gazette) or Soziale Welt (Social World).

Nomos issues more than 60 professional journals that reflect our entire publishing program and range from journals for practitioners to highly specialized scientific periodicals. In 2017 Tectum Publishing became part of the Nomos family and in 2018 Ergon Publishing and Academia Publishing followed. Since 2015 Edition Sigma belongs to Nomos Publishing. Since 2002, Nomos has been a part of the Beck-Group, but has remained independent from the Group’s other publishers with regard to its program development. Nomos Publishing is among the leading scientific publishers in the German-speaking world in the fields of law, social sciences and the humanities. The author suggests that a new model reconciling Needham's dualism and Dumont's hierarchy could be developed.

Ŭm-yang links are exposed while analyzing time and space symbolism of rituals for the dead which are held either in the house or at the grave, or both in the house and at the grave. This "whole" is symbolized by an eternal reciprocity between dead parents and ritual heirs. As urn and yang form a whole, the world of the dead (ŭm) and the world of the living (yang) form the whole of the social cosmos. e., the yin (earth, death, female, etc.). Fieldwork of the author in South Korea revealed that the superior value in the sacred realm is linked with ŭm, i. In this article an attempt is made to reconsider the Western view of yang (correlated with heaven, life, male, etc.) to be the superior value. An implicit hierarchical character of the yin-yang opposition is generally assumed, but rarely analyzed. Structuralists have frequently been attracted by the Chinese concept of the yin-yang duality.
