The Yin-Yang Symbol
The most well-known of Taoist visual symbols, the Yin-Yang image portrays the mutual interdependence of all mentally-constructed pairs of opposites.
In the Yin-Yang Symbol - also known as the Taiji Symbol - we see the colors white and black each containing the other. According to the principles of Taoist cosmology, the same is true for all pairs of opposites: right and wrong, good and bad, beautiful and ugly, friend and enemy, etc.
Through polarity processing techniques, we encourage rigid oppositions to begin to "dance" - to re-member their inter-relatedness.
Our idea of "self" (as opposed to "others") begins then to flow freely in the space between existence and non-existence.
