How to create yin and yang in your living space
In your garden, if the land is completely fl at it would be considered too yin and you can redress the balance by introducing boulders and plants. Perspectives that have too much exposure to sunlight could be too yang. Plants here will create shade. A water feature also introduces yang energies to create good balance. Garden lights meanwhile can introduce yang energy at night. Inside the home, the balance between yin and yang influences the flow of energy. When there is a severe imbalance, especially when the space is too yin, the feng shui of the house suff ers and bring sickness. Feng shui for houses of the living always benefi t from the presence of light, sound, activity and growth energy. Dogs and cats or even an aquarium with bubbling water
attracts precious yang energy. To counter excess yang energy, you can add dark colours, dim the lights or use curtains to block out too much sunlight. Changes in the seasons also aff ect yin and yang balance in the home, so be alert. When it is cold, foggy and rainy, the skies are dominated by yin energies; in such cases, keep your lights and music turned on. When the sun shines brightly and it is a hot sunny day, turn on the fan and air- conditioners. If you live in the tropics, counter periods of hot, dry tropical sunshine with yin and rainy spells with yang.
