AS SHOWN ABOVE:
The
Yin Yang symbol is a reflection of the ebb and flow of energy. It
illustrates darkness following light, yet each has a little of the other
deep inside. In good times there are few challenges and in bad times there
seems to be small miracles. Harmony between these two principles
arises from the constant search for equilibrium between them.
The fundamental
Principle of Yin Yang Balancing:
Feng
Shui is based on the principle of Yin and Yang. According to
Chinese culture, everything in this universe has Yin (negative)
and Yang (positive) qualities. Balance, harmony, consistent
change, and the interdependency of all things are but a few of the deep
meanings within this simple representation. The Yin Yang
Principle dictates that for every positive, there is a negative.
For every male, there is a female; For there are brightness and darkness,
good and bad. Good Feng Shui is where the balance of
Yin
and Yang achieves harmony and the Chinese believe that everything has
Qi
(Chi) or cosmic energy. For example: A room with no windows,
very little light and dark walls needs (YIN) needs more
(YANG)
bright pictures, furniture and more lighting to stimulate the CHI.
