This is a concept issued from Taoist cosmology, carrying with itself the interaction between two opposite yet complementing forces, maintaining a balance promoting transformation in every respect of life.
The Yin-Yang symbol originates from ancient Chinese Taoism. The original symbol is called the Taijitu.
The full outer circle of the yin yang symbol, as a whole, represents the entirety of the universe – circular and never ending.
Each half is split, not by a straight line, but by a perfectly even concave parabolic “S” curve (which is directly in proportion with the elements of the Fibonacci sequence and other elements of sacred geometry).
The “s curve” of the yin-yang symbolizes how both yin and yang are inter-connected, and continuously “ebbing and flowing” into one another.
Yin is feminine and yang is masculine, but the essential point is that each always contains a part of the other. That is why there is a black dot within the white and vice versa.
This symbol often speaks of:
• harmonizing emotion and action,
• moving beyond extremes,
• accepting paradoxes,
• finding an inner centre.
