Yin & Yang – A Ritual for Feminine Power

Some basics

As a soul, we are born equally of Yin and Yang.

We are not exclusively made out of Yin, just as we aren’t exclusively made out of Yang.

Yin in the sense of the female power of creation, and Yang standing for masculine advancement.

There is no progress without creation. Creation dies without progress. This is simply the law of evolution. Human beings would have become extinct if our DNA and genes had not evolved.

Apart from that – there is a GIGANTIC, a fundamental ERROR underlying the wish to achieve e.g., more feminine energy by less or no masculine energy.

Usually, neither a deficit nor an over-presence (remember Yin & Yang, see above) of masculine or feminine energy flow occurs, but a blockage regarding their equality.

If, for example, the masculine energy is being forcefully suppressed in order to allow the feminine to have more space, a system has the ultimate intention to restore its healthy balance.

Therefore, the system directs all its healing power to where the energy is not allowed to flow.

In our example, the system then seeks to heal the suppressed masculine energy.

This is the fundamental error.

In other words, the exact opposite happens.

Conclusion:

Banishing and condemning one energetic quality always results in a healing effort of your system and thus in the healing of exactly this, previously banished, energetic quality.

The ritual I’m going to present is a simple but highly effective way to bring your Yin and Yang into balance.

The Yin-Yang Ritual

You need  

•     Space
•     Privacy
•     To know where which celestial direction is
•     Markers (stones, a string, chalk, flower petals, etc.)
•     A sun painted on paper
•     A moon painted on paper
•     A yellow or golden (possibly blessed) candle
•     A white or silver (blessed if possible) candle
•     A fireproof container
•     Matches
•     The possibility to burn the paper

Preparation

To perform this Yin & Yang ritual, find a peaceful space for practice or a ritual place – either in nature, but of course, this can also be done in a room.

◊ On the ground, mark with stones or pebbles or sand (if indoors, with healing stones, a string, or chalk, or petals) a large infinity symbol, a lying eight, big enough for you to walk on.

Stones are the best markers because they represent the element earth, consisting of all four elements (fire-water-air and earth).

 ◊ In the middle of one wing of the infinity symbol, you place a sun painted on paper and maybe something else representing the Sun, and light a yellow or golden candle.

The Sun symbolizes the Yang / the masculine principle.

 ◊ In the other part of the symbol, place a silver moon painted on paper or something else representing the Moon in silver, and light a white or silver candle.

 The Moon is meant to represent the Yin / the feminine principle.

It is recommended to wear white or at least not too dark-colored clothes.

Clockwise, you then follow the shape of the symbol – seven times in a row.

Each round you continue reciting this mantra:

“With every step I take, I take you to your balance.  By completing seven loops, you’ll be reconnected.”

Write it on a piece of paper and hold it in your hand in case you can’t memorize it!

Once you have completed the seventh round, you stand once again on the intersection in the middle of the symbol.

Now the fireproof container comes into play!

◊ Ignite your drawings of the Moon and the Sun in your fireproof container.

◊ The smoke should rise upwards, and while looking at the smoke, you visualize how your masculine & feminine energy is harmoniously reunited.

◊ After the paper burnt down, you touch the ground again with your hands and express your gratitude to Mother Earth.

◊ Standing upright, you also offer thanks to Father Sun, with your palms open upward.

◊ Finally, you thank the four cardinal directions and the four winds by turning to each of them.

◊ And now you may (and you should) thank yourself.

Thank your soul for having opened up and let go so that it’s about to become more balanced and flexible.
