TAIJI SYMBOL

All of Chinese Mediicine can be understood through the Taiji symbol. The shaded area is the yin and the light area is the yang, the polar yet complementary forces in the universe, nature and humanity. Notice that there is a small white circle within the yin and a dark circle withiin the yang. The curved line signifies movement (homeodynamics) and relationships. The outer line which outlines the circle is perhaps the most important of all since it stands for the 'whole' that yin and yang represent as well as their ultimate unity. The complete separation of yin and yang signifies cessation of exsistence. Ann Ramsay MSN L.Ac.
