Examples of how to apply the yin-yang theory for every day use

 

• According to feng shui, in the center of the house maximum yin-yang energy is present and so when this part is used for applying yin-yang theory, it gives the best results.  First of all remove all clutter from the center and other places in the house.
• There are some places and corners of the house, inside and outside, that always remain shaded or dark.  This can lower the flow of chi.  One solution is to place a small light in that place and leave it on all the time.  In other places where there is too much light, use dark panes of glass or window film to lessen having too much chi.
• If some corner or room of the house or work space is passive, an area where there is no activity or much less activity done there, place a wind chime or any other constantly moving object to balance its energy.
• If some rooms of the house are far too ventilated then lessen the ventilation.  If some room is less ventilated then increase the ventilation to balance the energy in the room.
