| | Tao - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | In the Yi Jing, a sentence closely relates Tao to Yin-Yang, asserting that "one (phase of) Yin, one (phase of) Yang, is what is called the Tao". | | | In the other meaning, there is the 'Great Tao', that is the source of and guiding principle behind all the processes of the universe. | | | Being thus placed at the conjunction of Yin and Yang alternance, Tao can be understood as the continuity principle that underlies the constant evolution of the world. |

| | The union of all yin and yang elements represent the return to the holistic and undifferentiated state of the Tao." The term undifferentiated means there are no distinctions; all is one. | | | Although there are theories that acupuncture works either because the placement of the needles sends signals to the brain which release endorphins or because the needles block a pain signal to the brain, these theories have not been proven. | | | Inserting the needles at certain points is supposed to allow a balanced flow of the body's yin and yang energies. |

| | Taoism - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
| | Different schools of ancient Chinese philosophy used the term "Tao" to indicate their differing views on the proper conduct of individuals, society, and their relationship with the universe as a whole. | | | Dualism, the opposition and combination of the Universe's two basic principles of Yin and Yang (Simplified Chinese) forms a large part of the basic philosophy. | | | Many early versions of Chinese medicine had roots in Taoist thought, and modern Chinese medicine as well as Chinese martial arts still in many ways deal with Taoist concepts such as Tao, Qi, and the balance of Yin and Yang. |

| | All phenomena are composed of unequal proportions of yin and yang. | | | As the Yin and Yang are complementary principles, displaying opposition, similarly the Tree of Life of the Kabballah exhibits the opposite yet complementary pillars of receptivity, which is Feminine energy similar to yin, and of aggressive/expansiveness, which is Masculine energy like yang. | | | All beings are yang in the center and yin on the surface. |

| | Taoist sex is a barter arrangement between Yin and Yang: the man sacrifices a small measure of short-term pleasure in return for the long-term benefits of health and longevity, while the woman enjoys complete unrestricted sexual pleasure in exchange for a measure of her abundant supplies of life-prolonging essence and energy. | | | As such, the Chinese regard sex to be as natural and indispensable to human health and longevity as rain falling on the fields is to plant life. | | | Viewed from the angle of Yin and Yang, the results of these two activities are very different indeed for men and women. |
