Law of Polarity and Law of Rhythm


Everything has an equal and exact opposite.  Think in terms of Yin and Yang, black and white.  JFK popularized the translation of Chinese characters signifying ‘crisis’ as “within every danger there exists opportunity.”  In the Law of Polarity what this means is to look for the good in every situation.

“No-one saves us but ourselves.
No-one can and no-one may.
We, ourselves must walk the path.”
Buddha

The Law of Polarity exists to allow you to fully encompass all that this world has to offer.  However, to experience everything this vast and unlimited Universe has to offer you first have to understand both ends of the spectrum of life.

Without knowing bad you would be unable to experience or even know what good is.  Without understanding poverty, you would be unable to experience wealth.  Without indifference you would be unable to experience the beauty that is love.   In Feng Shui the contrast exists as yin and yang, dark and light, hard and soft and to create harmony balance these two opposing but complementary forces in your living and working lives.

These opposites are sometimes also referred to as ‘contrast.’  You are contrasting, or comparing one thing against another.

In your day to day life it can be so easy to perceive something that is happening as bad, however just as can be seen in the yin/yang symbol, within every seed of ‘bad’ there is an element of good, and vice versa.  The challenge can be to seek the good and focus on that rather than magnifying the bad, that is when you can begin to take complete control of your life and your life experience.

We all have the potential to manipulate each experience and turn it to our advantage.  Doing this allows us to experience harmony and a fulfilling, happy and abundant life.

Law of Rhythm 

This is flow; the ebb and flow of the energetic universe.  When it is resisted it causes negative blocks making the attraction process stagnate.  In Feng Shui, translated as wind and water, the wind and the water move through and around anything they come into contact with, they ‘go with the flow’ of the natural and man-made world.  This is the way to approach your life experience.  Rather than resisting what is, accept it and if changes are required make them with no resistance.

The easiest way to interpret the Law of Rhythm is with the seasons of the year and what you see and experience in each of them.  Springtime is the season for planting seeds, seeds that are nurtured through the summer and harvested in the autumn, with winter allowing the land to rest after its seasonal labours.

From a personal point of view, if you are going through what you identify as a ‘bad time’ by the Law of Rhythm this will be replaced by a ‘good time.’  Let go of attachment to the negative and the positive will replace it much quicker.  The longer you hold onto something as though it is a lifeline, the longer it will stay with you.

The key is to relax, know with absolute certainty that things will work out well, and get on with your life.  Identify the  part of your life that is currently being negatively affected, use one of the Feng Shui formulas, such as the Eight Aspirations, to rectify it on a physical level in your home or your work environment and sit back and relax in utter faith that the unseen is working on your behalf to resolve whatever situation you feel you are experiencing.

To the fulfillment of your dreams
