The Yin + Yang of You
by Carly Jo Morgan
Find yourself in a comfortable position,
lying on the floor
Feel the all encompassing sphere
of the earth beneath you
Feel her power
Feel how she holds you
How she holds us all
Watch her vibrant colors slowly desaturate
Until she becomes a black and white photocopy
She is made of Dark and Light
As is everything
As are we
Feel her black and white patterns of motion churn within you
The rising ocean tides
The downward crashing of an avalanche
The slow swirl of the clouds overhead
The eruptions of the lava from deep within her core
These energies live within us
The molten lava flows out of our psyche for us to confront
We must accept the darkness and not just the light
It is the darkness, our Shadow, that brings forth our gifts
Feel the harmony of these dark and light counterparts
They strengthen one another
They bring us balance
They make us whole
Yin and Yang
