On a spiritual level, such practices as meditation and visualization help us to achieve balance within ourselves. There is a symbol which relates to balance. Yin and yang. In Chinese it is pronounced Yom wa yeu . I was on a bus going to a Tai Chi event, and I sat beside an old man, who told me that life is about yim-yum.
Life is about balance.
Yin-yang is balance, and balance can be recognized through opposites. For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction. For every thing we do which takes us out of balance, there is a counter-acting reaction. Just like standing on one foot, as your balance shifts, you must adjust. When I was six years old, my dad gave me a present.
