Paternal & Maternal Energies

Everything around us is a reflection of our energy. The two main energies in our body come from our parents – the paternal energy and the maternal energy.

Paternal energy is straight; it is the axis in our life and gives us our direction in life; it is referred to as the 1 energy. Maternal energy is round; it is the caring and nurturing force in our life; it is referred to as the 0 energy.

When the two energies are in balance and harmony, we transcend duality and become centered in our spirit. (The Chinese character for "center" consists of a vertical line passing through the center of a circle.)

By learning the practices with which we can train our energy and bring it into a harmonious state, we have the key to mastering our own lives.
