Decoding the ancient philosophy of yin and yang
In short: This video explores the roots of the ubiquitous yin-yang symbol within Taoism. Discover how these opposing forces represent the fundamental balance required in human life.
The yin-yang symbol originates from Taoism, a Chinese religion and philosophy. Symbolising shadows, femininity and a wave's trough, the yin is shown via the dark swirl. In contrast, the light swirl signifies the yang, denoting growth, passion and brightness. John Bellaimey examines how each person possesses both spirits and the means to balance them.
