Who has not heard about Yin and Yang? You’ve surely seen that symbol hundreds of times!
Yin and Yang are the opposite and also the complementary to each other: the Yang represents our active part, the light, the energy; on the other side the Yin is the silence, the shadow, and the rest.
Insomnia in Eastern Culture
The balance between these two opposite forces is vital for every human being, as well as the balance between sleep and wakefulness.
For this reason the Eastern philosophy sees behind many sleep problems an imbalance between the Yin and the Yang.
When the “Yang” Takes Over!
That’s right! If we allow problems to frustrate and upset us before going to sleep, the fire of our Yang will continue to burn within us.
Stress, restlessness, and anxiety will not allow us to sleep and the Yin will not be able to carry out its duty and recharge our “batteries” for a new day.
Here You’ll Find Some Tips…
The Eastern philosophies are full of charm and many times useful for solving our problems relating to anxiety and stress.
