Colors from Yiang

Yiang is a blend of Yin and Yang, but it transcends mere black and white. Yiang features two colors—one for each field—and incorporates a word representing each color. This approach allows activation of both the left and right brain hemispheres, granting access to both thought and feeling, or intuition. The cards provide insight into yourself and your energies, enhancing your understanding of color symbolism and chakras.

Inspired by the Yin and Yang symbol, I created Yiang to balance opposites, drawing on the energies colors carry—negative, masculine, and neutral energy (ki, numbers 5 and 10).

On my right hand (representing the energy I emit), I have tattooed the Yin and Yang symbol in Magenta and Turquoise. Magenta (Negative) signifies experience, while Turquoise (Positive) symbolizes change. These colors also represent the past and future, with their balance embodied in the present.
