Meeleend,

I sure appreciate that you posted here as somehow I totally missed Manja's post, wow, over two years ago!!!

Manja, are you still here??

I am not a teacher and there is much much written in many books and on many mb sites on the terms yin and yang. To put it at its simplest, yin is expansive, upward energy and yang is contractive, downward energy - and all things are compared to each other so there is no such thing as pure yin or pure yang. If you are interested in macrobiotics, this subject will come up in your learning - as it is one of the major tools one uses in determining almost everything in their lives. Start getting some mb books, or find a teacher, or read articles on the computer - the more you learn (and practice) the more you will understand.
