THE BALANCE OF ENERGY WITH EXAMPLES

The basis of entire creation in this universe has two primary forces. They are defined as the masculine and feminine forces or Father and Mother. In Feng Shui, they are termed as the Yang and the Yin energy. For anything to happen or come into existence, these two opposite forces have to be there. In fact, they are complimentary to each other as one cannot exist without the other.

The Chinese philosophy says that everything is manifested by the combination of Yang and Yin energy. It has been discovered ages ago that all matter has energy vibrations. The Chinese call it 'Chi' while the Hindus call it 'Prana'. The Japanese call it 'Ki' as in ReiKi.

There must be a balance of Yang and Yin energy in the house. The active areas of the house are dominated by the male energy while the passive areas are dominated by the female energy. Places like the kitchen, doors, windows, etc are dominated by Yang energy. Areas like the bathroom require water and must have lot of yin energy. Rooms with no windows and shady or quiet are dominated by Yin energy.

The portion of the house where sunlight falls is masculine side while the shady part of the house is feminine or Yin.

EXAMPLES OF OPPOSITE ENERGIES:

YANG PLACES: The kitchen, sunny places, boiler or Generator room, cities, office Buildings, flat landscapes, uneven mountains, Sports stadiums are some places dominated by masculine energy.

YIN PLACES: Calm seas or seaside, forests, green landscape, shady trees, plain mountains are Yin places.

SHAPES: Square, angular, compact and sturdy shapes are masculine. Round, long narrow and delicate shapes are feminine.

PRECAUTIONS AGAINST DEFECTIVE VAASTU IN RELATIONSHIPS

Vaastu plays a vital role in maintaining relationships. Both sides of the main door and windows should not be damaged. Similarly the plastering around them should also not be broken. This affects the ladies and hence they should be repaired immediately. The parapet walls should not be broken which invites contempt from the Government and danger of falsely implicated cases. A smaller front door and a bigger rear door are also cause of tensions for family members.If there is no plastering on the walls of the kitchen or bedrooms, there will be reduction of love among the family members. The floor near the main door should not be broken and no dirt should be allowed to accumulate near it. This creates tension for owner.

There should not be black paint on the main door. This causes quarrels and even murder in the family at times. An obstruction in front of the main door inside the house while entering the house makes the owner cruel, greedy and arrogant.

Sword or knives etc. should not be hung on doors because they impart anger and bad motives. The guest room should not be next to the kitchen because it may create misunderstanding between the husband and the wife! A wash basin in the bedroom makes the couple suspicious of each other!

Old, second hand doors, windows, grills, etc. should not be used in newly constructed buildings because they may create tensions for the owner. Thorny and prickly plants should be avoided in the compound. Windows should always be opened in the morning to allow sunlight and fresh air to come in otherwise the children may face troubles.
