Feng Shui - Creating Balance Using Yin and Yang

Do you feel uncomfortable in your home and can't pinpoint what it is? Well, in order for your environment to nourish you, there needs to be a balance of yin and yang energy throughout your living and working spaces. Although considered artistic looking to some, dramatic architecture and design using an abundance of angular shapes can result in a Feng Shui nightmare. The more extreme the yin or yang is in a design, the more uncomfortable it will be for the people living or working there.

Now just think about balancing the two extremes. In your environment, you don't want things to be too hot or too cold, too dark or too light, too high or too low, too small or too large. For instance, a home that has very high ceilings, all white walls, big picture windows, and plain light-colored furniture would be too yang and the people living there would miss the cozy, comfortable feeling of home. On the other hand, if a room was very dark, had low ceilings, floral fabrics and furniture with all curved, rounded edges the room will feel cave-like and too yin.

Some Yin qualities are feminine, dark, soft, curved, rounded, small, low, floral, and ornate. Some Yang characteristics are masculine, light, hard, straight, angular, large, high, geometrical, and plain. Here's an exercise. Go through your home and/or office and use this yin/yang list to determine whether there are any dominant qualities. If so, decide what you need to add or eliminate from the space to create a feeling of more balance.
