The balance of yin and yang is the foundation of good Feng Shui

Achieving a harmonious home environment requires a careful balance of ventilation, natural light, and natural elements. Neglecting these fundamental aspects can disrupt the yin-yang balance of the space, potentially affecting the physical and mental well-being of its occupants. Here are five common household issues that deserve attention:

1. Blocked Ventilation
   If a house has too few windows or excessive barriers (such as dense security grilles), airflow becomes restricted, and stale air gets trapped indoors. This creates an environment similar to a sealed container. Prolonged exposure to stagnant air can lead to discomfort in breathing and an increase in emotional distress.

   Overly Fragmented Space
   Narrow layouts or excessive partitioning (such as too many walls) can obstruct airflow and create multiple dead corners. Without proper sunlight distribution, dark and damp areas can become breeding grounds for bacteria. The overall ambiance may feel heavy and lifeless.

3. Insufficient Natural Light
   Sunlight is a natural source of “yang energy.” Rooms that remain dim for extended periods (such as north-facing rooms or spaces with permanently closed curtains) tend to accumulate moisture, allowing mold to grow unnoticed. This can lead to fatigue, weakened immunity, and low mood in residents.

   Excessive Drafts (Cross Ventilation)
   While open layouts with front-to-back ventilation (e.g., a direct line from the entrance to a window) ensure good airflow, they may also create strong drafts. This rapid air exchange can lead to temperature instability and excessive heat loss, making occupants feel cold and restless.

5. Imbalance in Indoor Greenery
   Plants help purify the air and add vitality to a space. However, most plants release carbon dioxide at night, and excessive greenery can increase indoor “yin energy.” It is advisable to place plants in moderation, selecting varieties that are shade-tolerant and maintain a balanced metabolism, such as spider plants and snake plants.
