Baby steps

[brynndragon]

I'm trying to better understand the concepts of yin, yang, and qi. Here's a small attempt, a baby step toward comprehension:

If yang and yin are as two children on a see-saw, always in balance and always in motion, where is qi? Qi can be found in three places. Qi is the fulcrum of the see-saw, the center-point that both defines the balance between yin and yang and allows for their constant motion. Qi is the force that causes the sea-saw to move, generated by the conflict and cooperation of yin and yang. Finally, qi is the sea-saw itself, the connection between yin and yang without which the dynamic force of their movement could not exist.

But I'm still wondering how you'd be able to measure the ratio yin qi vs yang qi in an individual so you could honestly say if they were balanced or one was in excess.
