Are you more yin or yang today?

According to Chinese philosophy, yin and yang are complementary opposites within a greater whole. Everything has both yin and yang aspects. These aspects constantly interact, never existing in absolute stasis. wikipedia entry here . In case you’re wondering exactly what ‘stasis’ means ~ its along the lines of standing still, static balance between opposing forces, abnormal state where normal flow of liquid is slowed or stopped. ‘Human Homeostasis’ refers to the body’s ability to regulate physiologically its inner environment to ensure its stability in response to fluctuations in the outside environment and the weather. wikepedia entry here
