According to Feng Shui, every object in this universe, living or non living, emits energy. The basic component being atoms and molecules which are in constant motion, every object tends to emit energy which is invisible to our naked eyes. But they constantly affect us. Feng Shui demarcates energy into two categories: 1) yin and yang, 2) earth, wood, fire, metal, and water. |
THE TWIN ENERGIES: YIN AND YANG
The constant flow of energy through air is divided into two positive and negative elements: Yin and Yang. Yin depicts positive energy which is essential for a favorable atmosphere. Yang on the other hand though emits negative energy is powerful and is needed in controlled or little quantities to maintain a sane balance between success and modesty. Too much yang, on the other hand is harmful for us.
Also, yin and yang have a tendency to reconvert into themselves. That is yin turns into yang and yang into yin. This can be avoided by maintaining proper balance between the two.
THE FIVE EARTHY ELEMENTS:
1) EARTH: the element of earth promotes stability and permanence. Too much uncertainty, movement, insecurity can be cured by earth.
2) WOOD: wood promotes energy which is favorable for creative growth and inspiration. You can use wood to instigate, motivation, and passion in a controlled manner.
3) FIRE: Fire is a powerful element encouraging energy and passion. This element should be utilized in moderate quantities.
4) METAL: metals are well known for their energy transmitting function. Therefore metals can be used for directing or instilling energy.
5) WATER: This is perhaps the most important of the five elements. Given its lack of form water can influence our lives in either way. Depending on the direction, speed, and utility of water, it can influence our fortunes in various ways.
Given their complexities the energy exhibited by these elements often comes into conflict. Proper balance should be maintained among them to ensure peace and tranquility.
