Yin and Yang

The universe is made up of two forces or energies, both of which compliment/balance with each other. These two energies are called YIN and YANG.

 YANG energy is Masculine, Aggressive, Progressive, Strong, and Dark.

 YIN energy is Feminine, Passive, Still, Gentle, Bright.

An excess of YIN or YANG causes an imbalance that attracts Shar CHI (bad) energy. The concept of Yin and Yang is one of the most important theories of Feng Shui. It is the Chinese perspective of balance and continual change it is represented by the Tai-Chi symbol (Fig 1).

If we look at fig 1 (TAI CHI symbol) below we see the balance between the YIN and YANG energies are complete, Feng Shui uses complex calculations derived from the I-Ching (book of change) along with the balancing of the Five Elements (Fire, Earth, Metal, Water, and Wood) taking into account the physical relationship between the natural environment and the Compass directions, these calculations help keep the balance or may be used to counter an imbalance.

The small portion of YIN in the YANG section and vice a verse, act as a balance within each energy, it also reminds us that YIN originated from YANG and YANG originated from YIN. Both these energies encircle and embrace each other this is where the balance lies.

Within YANG There is a small piece of YIN
