Balance: A Misconception

[Guest guest]

The subject of balancing the organ systems by removing excess and

replacing deficiency comes up often with the laymen.

 

The common believe is if they are balanced, all will be well.

 

I would like to share some perspective.

 

To begin, balance will be defined in this case as meaning to make

all things equal. In terms of motion all movement has stopped and is

at rest. In our body if all systems are equal and at rest we are dead.

 

So to be alive and well there must be a moving differential of

energy levels. Or a sine wave form of motion.

 

In our body our organ systems must operate in a cycle of balance to

unbalance.

 

This means our organ systems can express themselves from balance, up

to a safe controlled level of excess,then deplete themselves down to

a safe controlled deficiency level and then return back to balance.

 

In others words the rest, work, exhaustion, rest cycle.

 

In conclusion this means the true health of an organ system is not

at rest,(balanced),but under actual working loads to determine if it

is reaching both a safe and controlled level of unbalance and then a

return back to balance.

I know it has been a long time since this was posted but I am a little confused

with the post. I would like to ask what do you think about the yin and Yong

theory? Is it not in a state of balance all the time continuously giving and

taking in constant motion. There is balance not to say 50% on each side when in

fact it is for only a moment in the cycle that there would be a 50-50 relation

ship. I would not see the natural ebb and flow of the yin to Yong and back to

yin being excess and deficiency as that would imply that there is something awry

with the system.

 

Would it not be more accurate to say that as yin wanes Yong grows and vice

versa. this is a form of balance is it not? If things were not in a harmonious

balance there would be disease which would disrupt the flowing cycle. Then is

when there would be true excess and deficiency.... Yin and Yong are constantly

struggling against and with each other to create balance.

 

I could have it all wrong as I am still a student but I from looking at the

theory of Yin and Yong and then at the five elemental theory there is always a

give and take situation to create the harmonious balance that gives life not

take it away?

Sure when there ceases to be motion in the system then there is death. I guess I

am not understanding what you are saying.

 

If you would not mind explaining a little bit more so I can have a better

understanding of what you mean would be great .

Thanks

I know this question isn't directed at me, but when dhoffman4 posted

this I was going to put something, and never did because no one

replied to it.

 

I think there are two ways of looking at this one, static balance,

which is a complete balance of yin and yang which equals no motion,

which is basically what I think he was talking about, and there is

also dynamic balance or balance in movement. I see merit in both ways

of looking at it.

 

I think dhoffman4 did a great job of explaining static balance. What

I get from it is that he's opening another view that's worth looking

at, that if we are in actual balance, then at that point we're most

likely dead. It shows that simple balance can actually have negative

effects, and really isn't what we're after.

 

You could think of it this way, imagine you have a pendulum. In this

example the gravity is the yin and the motion of the pendulum is the

yang. The starting potential energy of lifting the pendulum up

represents the former heaven essence, and if you had anything to keep

adding little bits of energy to keep it moving that would represent

the post natal essence, or basically food and air.

 

As you let go initially the potential energy of gravity gets released

and turns into kinetic energy and builds up speed, the same as turning

stores/inheritance into yang energy. As the pendulum gets to the

point of being straight down, it reaches maximum yang, because at that

point the yin of gravity is no longer increasing the yang, but

decreasing it. So as the pendulum now goes back up it gradually

looses yang energy and builds up more potential energy, or more yin

energy until the yin equals the yang, and for an instant there is no

motion. Then since there is no more yang, the yin takes over and

turns again stores of yin into yang. As pendulum comes back down, it

depletes/uses the amount of yin/stored energy as it's turning into

yang, or in other words the force of gravity is used and turns

potential energy into kinetic (motion) energy. At the straight down

point again, the yang is the highest, and the yin is the lowest. Each

time the arm swings of course it uses some energy, and as time goes on

it will eventually stop moving.

 

There are only 3 points where yin actually equals yang. The first two

are kind of the same, and that's only for a split instant at the top

of the cycle where the weight of the pendulum actually stops after the

up cycle and right before the down cycle. If you are trying to

balance yin and yang perfectly, this is the instant, but since it is a

product of motion, if you stop the cycle right here, then you will

automatically have much more yin and basically no yang. You'll have a

good store of potential energy, and basically no movement energy. So

the longest yin and yang can be balanced in that situation is a split

moment.

 

The last way is straight down with no movement, that way you have

basically no yang, and no usable yin, but you also have no motion, and

are dead. So the goal really is not to balance yin and yang, but

balance the flow and movement from one into the other to a useful

state of function.

 

Another way of looking at it is a car engine. The better a car engine

is balanced, the less vibrations it makes, but if you take the pieces

out of the car and try to balance this half vs that half and see if

they are equal, almost none of them will be. It's the product of

balancing the motion or function that makes it so a car motor has a

small amount of vibration when it's working.

 

hopefully that has something to do with your q =)
