Do you remember Yin and Yang?
No, not the evil Yin and Yang from Psych, the American comedy series featuring Shawn Spencer and Burton Guster 😉
I am talking about the Yin and Yang of Feng Shui 🙂 and they are definitely not evil 🙂
For those who don’t know what they are, Yin and Yang are the terms used to describe the quality of energy of a space or object in Feng Shui. Everything in the universe can be divided into either Yin or Yang.
Yin means female, quiet, still, and dark…
Yang on the other hand is the opposite of Yin. It is male, active, moving and bright.
This universe is made up of a combination of Yin and Yang. Even though Yin and Yang are opposites, yet they are complementary of each other. One cannot exist without the other.
The balance of Yin and Yang creates good health, happiness and success in any space.
If a space is too Yin, it is considered inauspicious and it suggests that there is a lack positive energy to bring success and prosperity to the residents.
On the other hand, spaces with too much Yang energy are not good either, as too much energy can lead to losses and accidents.
A balance of Yin and Yang is the key to success and prosperity. But, it is always better to have a bit more Yang energy as compared to Yin energy.
Buildings situated too near hospitals, graveyards, police stations, temples, churches or prisons are considered to be too Yin.
Similarly, if your house is built on a piece of land that used to have one of the above buildings, then again you will feel its negative effect on your luck and wellbeing.
The reason behind it is quite simple. The energy being sent out by these places is negative. This negative energy will have a negative effect on the energy of the houses near them and the residents of these houses will feel its effect in their overall luck and success.
Remedies for Yin houses:
If you live near a Yin building then make sure you keep your surroundings bright and Yang. You can do this in a few different ways.
- Keep the lights on during nighttime.
- Make sure you do not have overgrown trees or shrubs near your house. If you do, then cut them back and let the yang sunlight in.
- Plant bright coloured flowers in your garden to lift the energy surrounding your house.
- You can paint the wall facing the Yin building in a bright colour. White is also a good colour to use.
- You can leave a light on all night on the side where the yin energy enters your house.
- Place garden lights around your house and leave them on for at least three hours every night.
- You can introduce yang energy to you house by painting the front door in a bright colour.
- A red roof suggests yang energy and is good to deflect yin energy.
- Keep a pet in your house/garden to create precious yang energy.
- If your main door faces the yin building, then try and use another door to enter and exit your house.
- Avoid opening windows which open towards the yin building.
- Wind chimes are a great way of introducing yang energy too.
- You can also have a water feature in your garden. Water will not only introduce yang energy in the garden, it will attract more birds and will help improve your financial situation as well.
- Just make sure you follow the basic guidelines of where to place water features in the house. If you plan to have a water feature near your front door, make sure it is towards the left hand side of the front door, when you are standing inside, looking out. You do not want to create other Feng Shui problems while fixing one of them.
So, if you are looking at buying or renting a house, make sure you look into it’s background.
If possible, avoid buying a piece of land or house which is too near a hospital or graveyard etc.
But, if you are already living in a house that is too near a Yin building then use the remedies suggested above to improve your situation and subdue or negate the effect of the Yin buildings near you.
Have a lovely weekend.
