Yin-Yangs and You [Part 1 of 3]

The ancient symbol of Yin and Yang encompasses all duality and pairs of opposites which are existent in all life. We have night and day, hot and cold, good and evil, love and hate, and every duality that exists in nature and in our emotional energies.

All serve a purpose. If you know this, you have the the secret key to integrate your yin-yangs, male and female, dark and light, and will be more able to experience the fullness of life as well as the wholeness of who you really are!

Repeating Cycles of Yin-Yang

Always remember the dark-side of night [yin] is always followed by the new light [yang] of the dawn of a new day. This cycle is repeated in the seasons of the year. The winter is an essential time of rest for the earth just as the night is a time for rest for us. The winter is followed by spring and the renewal of life just as the new day is the time for us to renew our lives.

Using Force Is Not a Good Solution

We all have our own private dark side. Many of us often suppress this dark side and its resulting feelings and/or emotions because of shame and guilt. We brazenly control this part of our being by forcing our dark side and its feelings and emotions either into submission or into hiding. Like the ostrich, we try to bury our head in the sand.

However, by using force as a strategy to hide our dark side, we ultimately give our dark side the power to control us because we are using our energies negatively.

Do we ever really succeed? The answer is a resounding “NO”. The use of force is not a valid tactic. The use of force only serves to bury your "dark side" even deeper within your sub-conscious while it also disrupts the harmonious flow of your inner peace.

Have you considered the possibility that the dark side of your being has you controlled into submission?
