Exhausted today new moon

More Yang and Active

We could make the cycles more extreme by concentrating our most yang actions in the morning and middle of the day when nature is in her more yang, active phase, and more calming, meditative experiences later in the afternoon or evening when nature is naturally calming and becoming more yin.

Further we could use the lunar cycle so we time some of our most yang activities coming up to the full moon. We would then focus on more introspective, contemplative, yin experiences around the new moon.

Greater Yin, Stillness and Healing

If we wanted to create great stillness and perhaps enjoy a time of greater healing, we might slow the pendulum down by being more moderate in the way we live and in terms of yin and yang. Here we might even look to balance ourselves out with the natural cycles of nature by having a light refreshing lunch followed by a nap, and then a more yang meal later in the day when nature is becoming more yin.

Similarly, we could be especially yin, calm and quiet over the full moon to compensate for the more yang atmosphere.
