DEFINITIONS

Yang (sometimes pronounced yan) and Yin (sometimes pronounced een). These are the ancient Hebrew or Ebre names for the two forces of creation. There is no exact word for them in English. Similar words for them exist in Japanese, Chinese and many other languages.

They are complementary opposite forces. This means they always work together and they require each other at all times.

Yang, and its complementary opposite, yin, are the essential forces at work in the universe.

Yang and yin are basic physics qualities of matter. Yang is warmer while yin is cooler.

BIBLE REFERENCES

The first book of the Hebrew Bible, Genesis, begins with a somewhat detailed discussion of Yang and Yin. It is a very beautiful part of the Bible that must be understood in terms of the science of yang and yin discussed in this article.

(The word Genesis means the creation or the beginning. It comes from the same root word as the words genetics, general, generation and generate).

Genesis explains that God (the oneness) created the twoness:

“1. In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth. (editor’s note – this is yang and yin)

² And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters.

³ And God said, Let there be light: and there was light.

⁴ And God saw the light, that it was good: and God divided the light from the darkness. (editor’s note – this is yang and yin)

⁵ And God called the light Day, and the darkness he called Night. And the evening and the morning were the first day.

⁶ And God said, Let there be a firmament in the midst of the waters, and let it divide the waters from the waters.

⁷ And God made the firmament, and divided the waters which were under the firmament from the waters which were above the firmament: and it was so.

⁸ And God called the firmament Heaven. And the evening and the morning were the second day.

⁹ And God said, Let the waters under the heaven be gathered together unto one place, and let the dry land appear: and it was so.

¹⁰ And God called the dry land Earth; and the gathering together of the waters called he Seas: and God saw that it was good.

¹¹ And God said, Let the earth bring forth grass, the herb yielding seed, and the fruit tree yielding fruit after his kind, whose seed is in itself, upon the earth: and it was so.

¹² And the earth brought forth grass, and herb yielding seed after his kind, and the tree yielding fruit, whose seed was in itself, after his kind: and God saw that it was good.

¹³ And the evening and the morning were the third day.

¹⁴ And God said, Let there be lights in the firmament of the heaven to divide the day from the night; and let them be for signs, and for seasons, and for days, and years:

¹⁵ And let them be for lights in the firmament of the heaven to give light upon the earth: and it was so.

¹⁶ And God made two great lights; the greater light to rule the day, and the lesser light to rule the night: he made the stars also. (editor’s note, this is more yang and yin.)

¹⁷ And God set them in the firmament of the heaven to give light upon the earth,

¹⁸ And to rule over the day and over the night, and to divide the light from the darkness: and God saw that it was good.

¹⁹ And the evening and the morning were the fourth day.

²⁰ And God said, Let the waters bring forth abundantly the moving creature that hath life, and fowl that may fly above the earth in the open firmament of heaven.

²¹ And God created great whales, and every living creature that moveth, which the waters brought forth abundantly, after their kind, and every winged fowl after his kind: and God saw that it was good.

²² And God blessed them, saying, Be fruitful, and multiply, and fill the waters in the seas, and let fowl multiply in the earth.

²³ And the evening and the morning were the fifth day.

²⁴ And God said, Let the earth bring forth the living creature after his kind, cattle, and creeping thing, and beast of the earth after his kind: and it was so.

²⁵ And God made the beast of the earth after his kind, and cattle after their kind, and every thing that creepeth upon the earth after his kind: and God saw that it was good.

²⁶ And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth.

²⁷ So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them. (editor’s note, this is more yang and yin).

AN EXTREMELY IMPORTANT WAY OF THINKING

Yang and yin are not just words or forces. They are very powerful way to understand nutrition, development and most of life.

You will find references to these forces everywhere on this website because they are super important ideas. Please read this article a few times and check out the articles listed at the end of this article. Otherwise, development science and proper nutrition will not make sense!

Not the same as Chinese medicine or acupuncture. We are told by our guides that the way yang and yin are taught in books and schools of acupuncture and Chinese medicine today are not correct. They have been altered, in part due to the extreme age of the teachings. Teachings often become altered as they are handed down from generation to generation.

The principles of yang and yin we use first came from Macrobiotics. This author was very fortunate to have studied with the late Michio Kushi, the main teacher of this science. Since then, our understanding has greatly increased and changed somewhat by some of our guides who are experts in the science of yang and yin.

HOW THIS ARTICLE IS SET UP

This article purposefully has some repetition. It is a good way to learn the principles of yang and yin.

THE THREE PRINCIPLES OF YANG AND YIN

These principles are very important. If you understand them, you will understand the yang/yin concept well. Each of the following principles builds on the previous one, so the simplest one is given first.

1. The basic directions in space: In and out. This is also the same as contracted and expanded, small and large, thin and fat, centripetal and centrifugal, and up and down. (These only require one direction.)

2. Trajectories: Straight and curved. This is the same as linear and rounded. (Curved requires a second vector or direction.)

3. Frequencies: Higher and lower. This includes the colors, the sound frequencies, the electrical frequencies, speed such as fast and slow, near and far infrared, VHF or very high frequency and VLF or very low frequency, and more.

(These criteria require at least a third vector or direction in space to produce them.)

These are the three main principles. There are more principles of yang and yin, but they are combinations of the above.

Now let us expand on these ideas.

YANG

Yang is a physics concept that at its root, means inwardly-moving energy. It also usually means downwardly-moving energy. “Downwardly-moving”, in this article, means moving toward a center such as the center of the earth. So inwardly-moving and downwardly-moving mean the same thing.

It is a motion of atoms or particles. These particles are moving toward each other, or toward a center. There is no good word for it in English, so I am using the ancient Chinese word for it.

This inwardly-moving motion gives rise to the qualities that are considered more yang. They include:

a) Warmer – as the particles hit each other and generate heat through friction

b) More compressed, condensed and/or contracted – as a result of the inward coming-together movement of the particles. It also causes yang to mean higher pressure.

c) Dryer, with less water, and harder – due to the particles coming closer to each other and pushing out the water and other softer matter.

d) More activity and movement as the warmth and close proximity of the particles rub up against one another.

e) More associated with maleness than with femaleness. This is a tricky one, but the male energy is considered hotter and more compressed (like a penis, rather than an open and larger vagina

f) More concerned with radiating than absorbing. This is also due to the warmth and compressed nature of yang.

g) More organized, more ordered or more coherent. These words are not exactly the same, but they are meant as similar in this case. Organized means that the parts fit together better, which is similar to the idea of coherence. The opposite of coherence, in this case, is adherence, which is when two objects or aspects just stick together, but are not coordinated or highly organized together.

h) More physical, at times, because physical matter is more dense and compressed than etheric or ethereal substance, which is more expanded or yin (the opposite of yang). However, this one is tricky because more physical does not necessarily mean more organized (see above).

h) In development science, fast oxidation and an elevated sodium/potassium ratio are more yang. Bodies in fast oxidation tend to be warmer and more active.

i) Fullness. This is due to the greater concentration or higher density of particles. In contrast, yin is more empty.

Men and women. Men, in general, are slightly more yang than most women. Men tend to have faster oxidation rates than women, in general. The body is also generally more hard or muscular, and more contracted.

However, this must be qualified. The male body is more yang on the outside, but more yin on the inside. The female body is more yin on the outside, but more yang on the inside.

This, too, is tricky and has to do with organization, and not the hardness of the tissues, for example.

YIN

At its root, yin means particles are moving apart and usually in an upward direction. The word upward here means away from a center such as the center of the earth, or of the universe. In this sense, “moving apart” and “moving upward” mean the exact same thing.

This type of movement of particles gives rise to the qualities of yin, as follows:

a) Cooler – as the particles move apart, they bump into each other less, creating less friction and less heat.

b) More expanded – as the particle move apart, they take up more space forming an expanded mass. It also causes yin to mean lower pressure.

c) More watery and softer – the particles move apart and softer material such as water can get in. Water is one of the most yin substances there is, while minerals are one of the most yang or concentrated substances.

d) Less obvious activity – as the particles move apart, they “drift” more and it seems like there is a slowing of movement. They also do not bounce off each other as much, so this causes less movement, too.

e) More associated with femaleness than maleness. This is somewhat tricky, but females tend to move a little slower, have a slower oxidation rate, and their reproductive organs are more expanded.

f) More concerned with absorbing than with radiating. This is because “cooler bodies in space” tend to absorb heat, while hotter ones tend to radiate their heat. So this is directly related to the cooler quality of yin.

g) Less physical – because as the particles move outward in space, their mass becomes less physical and more etheric or ethereal.

h) In development science, slow oxidation and four lows pattern, and a low sodium/potassium ratio are more yin. The body is cooler, more sluggish, and women generally have slower oxidation rates than men. The body is also generally softer, with a little more fat, and more expanded.

i) More empty. This is due to the lower concentration of particles in space.

In summary, Yin refers to a quality of some matter that tends to be colder, more expanded, more chaotic, more disintegrated, centrifugal in nature (which means moving outwardly and sometimes upward), often more feminine in nature, tending to be damp or more watery, more flaccid and softer.

An example. Though it may be a little crude, the simple idea of a hard, linear penis (yang) compared to an open, rounded, moist vagina (yin) may help one recall some of the major qualities of yang and yin.

OTHER WORDS USED TO DESCRIBE YANG AND YIN

In general: Yang tends to be more contracted, more dense, condensing, increasing in mass, warm with more internal heat, more organized or anti-entropic, dryer and often more physical.
Yin tends to be more expanded, evaporating, less dense, more chaotic, less massive, cold, damp and in some cases more ethereal.
For example, water is more yin, while land is more yang. The warm tropics are more yang, while the areas near the north and south poles are far more yin because they are cold. Here is more detail:

1. Hot and cold. More yang means the particles of matter are closer to one another (more contracted or compacted) and there is more friction between them, generating more heat, more light and more concentrated mass.
In contrast, more yin means that the particles of matter are further apart (more expanded). This causes less friction between them, which causes less heat or more coldness, less light and less concentrated mass. Please memorize this, as it will help all understanding of yang and yin.

2. Frequencies of energies. Yang tends to be a lower frequency or slower moving waves, while yin tends to be a higher frequency of energy or faster moving waves of energy. This is not always the case, but it is often true.
For example, the color red is a lower frequency and more yang, while the color blue is a higher frequency and somewhat more yin. Infrared is an even lower frequency and tends to be more yang than red, although infrared contains some frequencies that are yin as well, so this criteria is variable.

3. Directions of movement. Yang tends to be inward-moving or centripetal. It is also generally downward-moving toward the center of the earth.
In contrast, yin tends to be more outward-moving, split apart or centrifugal. It also tends to be upward moving away from the earth. Once again, this is not always true, but is often the case.
For example, foods that grow up in the air on trees, such as fruits, are further away from the earth and this is one reason they tend to be more yin. Root vegetables are much more yang, in part because they grow under the earth’s surface.

4. Amount of chaos. Yang is less chaotic and more organized or more integrated. This is also called anti-entropic in physics.
In contrast, yin is more chaotic, or more broken apart, or more disintegrated, or more entropic.

Summary of yin and yang, called the Four Words in Tibetan:

Yang: warmer contracted centripetal anti-entropic

Yin: cooler expanded centrifugal entropic

OTHER PRINCIPLES REGARDING THE IDEA OF YIN AND YANG

The concept of yang and yin also involves certain principles that are necessary to know about, or you won’t understand the concept very well. Here are some of the important ones:

1. Nothing is purely yin or pure yang. A pure state of yin or yang cannot exist in a balanced universe. In fact, if it does begin to occur, the one changes to the other, at times. This is the basis for atom bombs, for example, as matter (more yang) is changed into pure energy (more yin) in a violent way.

2. The proportions of yin and yang are always changing. In other words, it is a dynamic concept that is always shifting as conditions change.

3. Yin and yang always coexist and are complementary opposites. They are not “antagonists”, but rather work together to build our physical universe. This means dark and light have their place, as do male and female, hot and cold, contraction and expansion.

4. The qualities of yang and yin depend not only on the qualities of the material, procedure, substance or activity. They also depend upon the frequency, intensity, duration, long and short-term effects, and upon effects that can be mechanical, chemical, electric or other.

5. Most people’s bodies are extremely yin today. This is the cause of most illness, from a yin and yang balance perspective. It also means that the best results will often occur with the use of more yang therapies, diets and healing methods.

Health, today, usually means to become far more yang. Disease, today, often means that one has become too yin. This was not always the case. However, with the amount of toxic chemicals, radiation, toxic metals, yin infections such as yeast infections, and other factors in play today, this is the case in almost everyone.

Rare exceptions might be people whose attitudes are too yang, or who have toxins that could make the body very yang. However, these exceptions are extremely rare and hardly ever seen. This toxic yang is almost always quite temporary.

NUTRITION, AND YANG AND YIN

Living tissue. This is composed of two major components:

1. Minerals. These are quite yang, and include minerals such as manganese, zinc, chromium, iron and selenium. Toxic metals have a more yin or damaging effect on the body.

2. Proteins. These are also fairly yang substances, especially animal quality protein.

The “fuel” foods. The two main types of fuel foods are:

1. Fats and oils. Fats from animal tissues are more yang than oils derived from grains, fruits, seeds or nuts.

2. Starches. These are the grains, and starchy vegetables. These are fairly yang when cooked.

3. Sugars. These include fruit and all sweet foods and beverages. They are very yin.

Here is more detail about the fuel foods:

1. Fats and oils. Fats are more yang than oils. Fats are solid at room temperature, and usually of animal origin, which are yang characteristics.

Oils are more yin than fats. Oils are liquid at room temperature, and derive more from plants. Both of these are yin characteristics.

2. Starches and sugars. Starches (complex carbohydrates), are more yang than sugars (simple carbohydrates).

Starches are more concentrated and complex, which are yang qualities. Sugars are more broken apart, a yin quality.

The most yin food. You can see that of all these foods, sugars are the most yin. This is a major reason to avoid them, since the bodies today are already too yin.

Artificial sweeteners and other food chemicals are often even more yin, making them even more harmful to the body, in many cases.

YANG AND YIN MINERALS

MINERALS AND YANG/YIN

Yang refers to the quality of some physical matter that is warmer, more compact or condensed, more integrated, moving in a centripetal direction (toward the center), and more often moving downward. It is considered more male, more forceful, more direct, less watery and more dry, and harder.

Minerals and their effects. Minerals, in general, are more yang compared to many other substances. The toxic metals tend to have a yin effect, no matter how yang they are in themselves.

More yang minerals. Among the nutrient minerals, the more yang minerals are calcium, magnesium, sulfur, phosphorus and iron. You will notice that these can form more acidic compounds, which is more yang, especially sulfur, phosphorus and iron.

Calcium and magnesium form some alkaline compounds, but are still considered somewhat yang minerals for other reasons. Calcium is very compact, contracted and hard. Magnesium is very energetic, bright and shining – all yang qualities.

Toxic yang minerals. Among the toxic metals, lead, cadmium, arsenic and nickel are a little more yang than some others. Cadmium is the most yang, enhancing the oxidation rate and hardening the entire body, especially the kidneys, liver and arteries. However, all the toxic metals ALSO tend to have a yin toxic and very destructive effect on the body.

More yin minerals. Among the nutrient minerals, those that are slightly less yang are the alkaline reserve minerals such as zinc, manganese, chromium, selenium, lithium and others.

Toxic metals. Those that are slightly more yin are copper, mercury, aluminum and others. They tend to be softer elements. All have a yin toxic and destructive effect on the body when in excess.

TAOISM AND YANG AND YIN

TAOISM (sometimes spelled and pronounced Daoism). The words yang and yin are found in Taoism, an ancient philosophy that has been on earth for well over 10,000 years.

The words Tao and Taoism are Tibetan words that mean the science of God. It is an unusual set of ideas because it deals mainly with forces rather than teaching via stories and parables, as is the case with the Western Bible. However, the goal is the same – to teach people how to live in peace and harmony together.

Taoist philosophy, as with Biblical theology, teaches that creation proceeds from the One (God) to the two (such as light and dark, male and female), and then to the many. I am told that the older Taoist version of creation is not as well-suited to Western people. The historical and parable-style of teaching found in the Bible and other stories is better for us.
