There is an intelligence in the body that nobody installed.
It knows how to regulate temperature, calm a racing heart, rebuild tissue in the dark hours of sleep. It has been doing this, without instruction, since before you took your first breath.
In biomedical terms we call it homeostasis. In Chinese medicine the name for the forces that make that possible are Yin & Yang. These are not good and evil or opposites at war. They are two parts of the same whole, a continuous conversation. The spark and what sustains it, the fire and the substance it burns clean.
Modern science calls parts of this conversation the sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous system. Ancient medicine called it Yin & Yang. While the language is different the concepts underlying are the same.
Yang is the spark — ATP firing, Metabolism, gut motility, muscle contraction, the body mobilizing to meet to the world.
Yin is what makes the spark possible — blood, lymph fluids, tissue, cerebrospinal fluids, hormones, and the rest where the body rebuilds.
When that balance breaks down from too much “go” and not enough rest it sends signals. Symptoms are not malfunctions, they are a system asking to be heard.
Swipe though to see what it looks like, how it happens, what that means for how you feel every day, and some tips to help restore balance. 🌱
