So this fits with my 12 notes of the music scale from 2:3:4 -- the yin and yang from the 24 cycles of the solar calendar.

I reviewed this qigong teacher's book -- very cool! Here's his fox news interview:

Now we enter the Solstice energy -- yin is maximized and yang is minimized.

Anybody feeling it -- strong magnetic bliss pressure in the middle of the brain? From the Solstice!

 

We got snow today but not much -- strange for Minnesota -- barely freezing weather. Made a big fire outside to make biocharcoal for the compost.

 

It's the Solstice birth of the Son day -- well early tomorrow technically. But hey it's the secret of the Tai-Chi symbol!!!

Abstract

 

The Taiji diagram is a common diagram in ancient Chinese works and medical works, but it's not known yet how it was made. Key evidence has been found in the data of astronomical observation in Han Dynasty. It was found that variation characteristics of the curve of the lengths between days and nights are in accordance with the S-curve of the Taiji diagram. The theory contained in the Taiji diagram could also be illustrated well by this curve. In conclusion: the Taiji diagram was made according to the diurnal rhythm in a year, which was obtained from observation of 24 solar terms in ancient times. As a great scientific achievement in ancient China, the Taiji diagram has profound influence and should be reevaluated on an academic level.

Yeah I'm feeling it all right. I've got so much danged yin it can't help but rise and then it just buzzes around in my head and wakes me up at night. I've had to really work to put it back down lately. Perhaps the past three days this has been going on.
