Yin Yang Necklace Blue

Part of Carol's Spiritual Line, this sterling silver and enamel Yin Yang hangs on a black braided leather cord with silver clasp. The Yin Yang represents two primary forces. Together they form Chi, the life force that has its roots in ancient Chinese beliefs and traditional Chinese medicine. Yang, the “male” side, is pure energy and corresponds to heaven. Yin, the “female” side, is substance, and represents earth. The interaction of these forces is what determines the nature of the Universe; their relationship is manifested in 5 elements – Wood, Fire, Earth, Metal, and Water – which according to the tradition of Chi, make up all things. In further keeping with this tradition, the key to balance in life is to have a balance between each of these elements. Each of the elements represents a season, a role in life cycle, and our emotional and physical health. Blue represents Water, Winter, Fear/Reflection. Wear Blue to be mindful of bringing this element into balance in your own life.
