How to Benefit from the Ying and Yang Energies
Feng Shui
The principles of ying and yang is the belief in balance and harmony affecting everything in the universe. Central to all Chinese thought is that each person is governed by the opposing but complementary forces of yin(represented by a tiger) and yang (by a dragon). (Ying and yang is also spelt yin and yang)
It is believed that our bodies, minds, emotions and the whole universe are influenced by these ying and yang forces and one cannot exist without the other. When these two opposing forces are in balance we feel good but if unbalanced they can bring about unrest.
- A simple way to understand the yin and yang forces is to say that there are two sides to everything. For example, happy/sad or cold/hot, active/passive and so on.
- Yin and yang depend on each other for their existence. You cannot have one without the other yet things are more yin or more yang depending on what they are compared with. For example resting is more yin then working, but more yang than sleeping and the relationship between yin and yang is always changing but always seeking a state of balance.
Yin and Yang in the Home.
The movement of the sun through the sky alters the flow of energy through your home. When the morning sun shines into your house the warmth will bring the yang active chi energies. These will flow around the house but when the sun descends in the sky more relaxing yin chi energies will be prominent. This will give you some idea how you can use this knowledge when planning the rooms of your house.
