Yeah I ran across her - maybe 6 months ago. She is a French academic - she is on youtube a bit.

I don't know French - my dad studied it - but I studied Spanish.....

 

 

My neighbor growing up was French - and also a professor.... female....

 

her English.

All her books in English -

She needs menthol - peppermint - or some kind of euclayptus to clear out her sinus cavity.

How the ideas of Yin and Yang originated, and how and where those words were first used. (As far as currently known of course. )

I go into that in my "Idiot's Guide" pdf -

yin/yang originally was tiger-dragon - traced back to 5000 BCE and before that was from music tuning.

YinYang is just Polarity.

 

Very old.

 

In the Chinese YinYang sense, it is easy to see how this idea becomes obvious.

 

In the womb, we are in an all-dark existence.

 

Upon birth, we see half light, half dark.

 

Additionally, we see that the light is moving.

 

We see this light move like "birth" and "death" of it. 
It is the Sun, from sunrise to sunset.

 

So we add Birth/Death to the Light/dark that we saw.

 

We are starting to see polarity, and the movement between poles of a polarity, or "Qi".

 

If we look down and see earth there throughout this, we already know enough to derive the Fu Hsi Bagua.

It's probably excellent. Rochat and Claude Larre (who she sometimes co-writes with) are generally the best sources for deeper traditions behind Chinese medicine.
