How to know how Yin or Yang is your home?

To determine if your house is more yin or yangit is useful to make a conscious evaluation of different aspects of your home. For example, if you depend on soft lights, you have small windows or you are in a place with little natural light, Your home tends to be more yin. If you have large windows, bright light and use many powerful lamps, it is likely that Your house is more yang.

Elements such as water sources, plants and minimalist decoration are signs of a Yin home. Chimneys, candles and vibrant decorations indicate a Yang environment. If you feel that your home invites you to introspection and rest, it is more yin. If you feel energized and active in your home, it is more yang.
