Gain an understanding of how these fundamental forces or principles shape our mind, body, and spirit and how we can strengthen and rebalance them to improve the vitality of our lives.
Part 1 (5 classes)
A) Yinyang – a different idea of balance.
B) Two different yins and two different yangs.
C) The stabilizing principle and the five elements
In the first class, we look at the origin and meaning of yin-yang theory, how balance is much more than sitting in the middle between two extremes, and how this theory applies to exercise, health, and life in general. We then look at what 5 elements are and how the 5 element theory is a more elaborate extension of yin-yang theory.

Poll: Do you think banning gang patches is reasonable?
With the government cracking down on gangs, it is now illegal for gang members to display their insignia in public places whether through clothing or their property.
This means arrests can be made if these patches are worn in places like restaurants, shops, on public transport or ferries, and on airplanes. Arrests were made recently at a funeral.

Aroha (Love and Compassion) - Day 14
Tāwhirimātea and the Rescued Tītī Birds
In a time of great storms, Tāwhirimātea, Atua of winds and weather, saw the little tītī (muttonbirds) struggling against fierce gales that had scattered their flock. Though known for his ferocity, Tāwhirimātea felt aroha for the vulnerable birds. He calmed the winds and guided the tītī to shelter, teaching the Atua of the forest, Tāne, how to protect them with his trees. The birds thrived, and in gratitude, they became a source of sustenance and companionship for the people.
Moral: True power lies in compassion, and by caring for others, we create harmony in our world.
