Everyday Life - Between Heaven & Earth

The course of our everyday lives requires that we balance the interior process of nurturing the self (Yin) with being engaged in the exterior work of the world (Yang). Our activity in the world fosters our productivity, then we retreat from the business of the day each evening to relax, rest, and sleep in order to accumulate and replenish our store of Qi for the day to follow.

Our contemporary culture encourages constant, often frenetic, activity. People are so consumed with their productivity that they often neglect allowing enough time for the self to be replenished. To overwork, overexercise, overparty, and overengage in the act of love is to overindulge in Yang, which leads to burnout of Yin. The body cannot for long tolerate consuming more than is replaced. The consequences of this may be muscle, joint, bone, heart, or kidney problems perhaps as serious and sudden as a heart attack.

On the other hand, to be preoccupied with matters of internal health and overly focused on nourishing and protecting the delicate interior of the body could mean an overemphasis on the Yin phase of accumulation. A collector who keeps acquiring more and more good that have potential value is so busy amassing and storing that he has no time or energy left to put his hidden treasures to use in the productive life of the world. The Yin is protected, but the Yang is lifeless. Similarly, a person who is all mass or substance (Yin) and no energy (Yang) is lethargic, inert, and cannot work or play well. Without exercise the muscles atrophy and the cardiovascular system weakens.

The key is to achieve balance, which means being flexible, diverse, moderate, and in harmony with your own rhythms and needs. Chinese medicine makes use of acupuncture, herbs, diet, physical exercise, massage, mental discipline, and the modification of life-style habits as forms of therapy to reestablish the rhythmic swing of the Yin-Yang pendulum.
