Is My Living Room Out Of Balance?

Filed Under: Feng Shui for Your Home Tagged With: Balance, Living Rooms, Yin & Yang

Have you ever been in a living room where it’s obvious that no one spends much time? 

Take a look and notice: is that living room dominated by cool, quiet Yin energy?

From a Feng Shui perspective the function of a living room is to foster life. It needs a “high energy” vibe: more Yang than Yin.

Your living room should invite people to gather together, socialize, and relax. 

Yang energy is “masculine:” assertive and bold, busy and bright.  For the best Yang energy in your living room give it warm colors, good lighting, growing plants and lots of things to do – games and books, a TV perhaps, a stereo for music.

Cozy, soft and nurturing Yin energy belongs in your living room too, for a softening effect.  But use a light touch with Yin energy here: you don’t want your guests curling up for a nap!

Create the perfect balance of Yin & Yang in your living room and watch it come to life!

    Do you have to use every color in the bagua sections of the chart? How much is too much?

      No, absolutely not. The most important thing is to activate the energy of the sector in ways that make sense to you: with objects and shapes, textures and patterns — or with color. Also pay attention to the cycle of the elements to make sure you don’t create elemental clashes…
