What Is Yin and Yang?
Yin and yang are typically portrayed inside a Tai Chi circle, which symbolizes wholeness. This symbol represents the harmonization of dualities within the universe. Notice fact, there is always a little bit of yang within yin (the white spot on the yin side) and vice versa. The following chart breaks down the contrasting general characteristics that are associated with both Yin and Yang.

In Feng Shui, the goal is to achieve a balance of yin and yang elements. For example, if a backyard is too hilly (too much Yang) one would want to introduce a water fountain or some plants to break up the landscape. The introduction of the Yin element of water helps to balance both factors in the landscape. The rule of thumb is that too much of the Yin element creates an isolation and stagnation, too much Yang creates chaos, agitation and destruction.To be able to assess your current home and discover how you can enhance your home for Love, Happiness and Prosperity, visit:
