When you think that Yin-Yang are two different opposite elements, you are fundamentally wrong. Or when you think that Yin-Yang must be 50-50% to achieve a perfect balance, you are also incorrect. Yin-Yang is the most basic of all fundamentals in Chinese Metaphysics including Traditional Chinese Medicine, Qi-Gong and Martial arts. Yin-Yang is the first evolution from Tai Ji and without its interactions, nothing grows. A knowledgeable Chinese Physician knows the root of all illnesses through the observation of auras and colours. An experienced Qi-Gong master knows that the balance of Qi is not about equally divided Yin-Yang. Martial art is not about aggressiveness to represent yang but containment of Yin-Qi as a forceful energy.
It is interesting to note that there is a capacity for each body, each house and land. It is like a maximum body of Qi. There are Yin-Yang Qi in there and each must be maximised to achieve balance. They can be harmonised only when each capacity is completely fulfilled. I also learn from a Chinese Physician that it is possible for a human body to be weak both in Yin Qi and Yang Qi. This means that when Yin Qi is weak does not mean that the Yang is stronger. This is the basic principle in Feng Shui application too. They have to be complementary to balance, and thus produce results.
How could one see any effectiveness when one starts on the wrong footing? The whole progress is a merry go round. The most basic and the simplest is always the most effective.
Hi Vin
In the scenario of haunted house.. which we often heard of ‘too much Yin Qi’..
Will increasing of Yang Qi (eg: make the house brighter/noisier) balance the Yin or mitigate the ghostly effect?
tks
Hi Giggs,
Think you miss Vin’s point. Have you heard of 大道至簡？
‘Too much Yin Qi’ in yours (and most) terms are probably places which are very dark, very narrow, very old, quiet, and, full of trees.
These are not given in the cases where we received complaints of paranormal encounters.
Some sites are actually ‘Yang’ – bright, good traffic, and big/wide space. Rather, it is important to look into the basics.
E.g. when a client’s son complains of smelling scents of flowers and ’someone’ hitting his head while he sleeps, I was not surprised.
Strictly speaking, their semi-d’s Yin-Yang by house structure is not that bad. The problem is the house was built on wet land. A basic violation of Feng Shui principles. Our Luopan tells us the house has little (sheng) Qi.
We upped their biz sales by 30%, children’s grades improved and their son rebellious behaviour improved. Still, the fundamental issues can’t be solved until the soil is ready to serve the house then the residents. We might have aligned their layout to the best we could but the ‘container’ is still not serving them sufficiently.
What Vin meant was to make the Yin healthy and prosperous. 有生氣、生機。 Increasing the Yang is not the best / permanent solution.
cheers!
p.s. your comment was sent at the same time (11.08a.m.) when I responded to this client’s mail… at 11.08a.m.
May I add that when we balance the Yin-Yang of a house, we are not ‘driving away the Yin Qi’. We are balancing it so that the different dimensions may co-exist amicably without crossing ‘borders’.
We work on that which is off-balanced and balancing one to stablize another. As we often said, Yin-Yang is not two opposite and contrasting components but one entity.
Hope this clarify.
Hello Giggs!
Haunted houses may also be possible when there is Yin/Yang balance from the Feng Shui perspective.
To give an example, houses build with graveyard wood as four pillars will be prone to negative spiritual disturbances, even if the Yin/Yang is very beautiful. A possibility and/or probability, not 100%.
