Thank you. Wonderful lessons! The simplicity of the yin yang concept but can be tricky in practice. Yin yang is also a big element in the world of tea, as with food.
Isn't it? Our own understanding often becomes the biggest obstacle. That's why we often hear the idea of "emptying the cup" in Eastern philosophy. To really learn and grow, it’s important to let go of old assumptions and beliefs.

Thank you for your kind words!
Yes, that's true. I think one of the reasons for this is our usual understanding of "balance," which can prevent us from finding actual balance.
Absolutely, it plays a significant role in so many areas, which is truly fascinating.
Have you had the chance to explore its influence in the world of tea?
Interesting take that it’s our understanding/ idealization on balance that’s hindering us. Looking forward to learning more from you.
Yes, I am just starting to explore it in the world of tea, as expressed through space of a tea room to how it interacts in the space of our body.
