Understanding balance and imbalance

The yin and yang energies are in a constant flow, never static. A healthy flow and shift of yin and yang create health and balance between body, mind and heart, while imbalance may result in illness and disease. There are two different types imbalance, excess of yang and excess of yin:

• Excess of yang energy
  This type of imbalance may result in restlessness, hyperactivity, anxiety, aggressiveness and frustration and/or feeling burnt out. The energy of constantly needing to move and do creates makes it harder to relax and wind down

• Excess of yin energy;
  Examples of this type of imbalance are feeling tired, weak, lacking self esteem and confidence, feeling hopeless, overthinking and depression. 

The topic of yin and yang is very subtle, so don't worry if it seems confusing. By becoming more aware of the internal energies step by step we can begin to understand how the energies affect us, giving us tools to handle the constant change of life without losing ourselves in it.
