The meaning of the notion yin-yang

The notions yin and yang are so universal that it is hard to imagine any culture in the world without them. Nevertheless, under these names they are part of Chinese Taoist philosophy and unavoidable part of Chinese medicine, astrology, prophecy and even historiography. In Chinese culture yin and yang are seen as two inseparable powers, unthinkable one without another.
The mutual exchange of these powers is described in Chinese philosophy as the existence of five elements (mentioned here many times) and these phases are symbolically referred to as Tree, Fire, Earth, Metal and Water.
In Feng shui, as in many other schools of thought who reflect on two opposite principles, we make a difference between areas that have more yang or more yin character. Doors, windows, open, illuminated and warm spaces have yang character, while dark, tranquil, isolated and cold places suitable for sleeping have yin character.
There are many books that describe these two opposite principles. Here we present only some of their characteristics:

At the studio Well-balanced we sell pearls and jade for improving yin and yang. Pearl is the most adequate symbol of yin energy, while jade has strong powers to strengthen yang energy. The union of these two principles is in Chinese culture often represented with the dragon playing with the pearl. They are powerful symbols of the eternal life and creative energy of the universe.
