The Yin Yang Angle


Scott Peltin is a nationally recognized wellness and performance coach whose work I thoroughly enjoy. Here is a piece of a recent article of his I liked a lot about the Yin and the Yang:

"In tai-chi, Yin is the feminine energy and is what you receive. Yang is the masculine energy and is what you give. The belief is that both must be in balance in order for you to find harmony and prosper. In practical terms, this could mean you need to give compliments to others but you must also be able to receive compliments. You must speak your truth but you must also listen to the truth of others. You must work but you must also rest. These are some of the key concepts we have shared with you at this site, and it is amazing to see how they are universally true. The next time you think of high performance think of the Yin and Yang -- and be sure you're in balance."
