Yin and Yang can be thought of as complementary (rather than opposing) forces that interact to form a dynamic system in which the whole is greater than the assembled parts. Everything has both Yin and Yang aspects, (for instance shadow cannot exist without light).

Two complementary principles of Chinese philosophy: one negative, dark, passive and feminine (Yin) and one positive, bright, active and masculine (Yang) whose interaction influences the destinies of creatures and things.

According to this theory, wise people will detect these forces in the seasons, in their food, and so on, and will regulate their lives accordingly.

Mandala is a spiritual and ritual symbol in Indian religions, representing the universe. The Mandala appears to us in all aspects of life, the Earth, the Sun, the Moon and more obviously the circles of life encompassing friends, family and communities.

Mandalas are circular designs symbolizing the notion that life is never ending. Many mandalas have spiritual significance to an individual or group of individuals.

The design of the mandala is supposed to be visually appealing so as to absorb the mind in such a way that irritating thoughts are unable to get through and a spiritual essence surrounds the individual observing the mandala, which in turn allows the individual a higher consciousness or awareness, almost as though being hypnotized. This allows the busy mind to take a break while the creative mind is allowed to run free.

Having said that, the mandala is primarily used as a form of meditation to gain knowledge from within.
