I've never seen it so clearly explained, especially the dot in the symbol, and it's indeed quite visible on the paper, the dark and light spots. It's awesome. Thank you for sharing! By the way, your "Now you know!" is quickly becoming a household saying here! 😊
Great explanation! I hate it when people describe yin and yang as light and dark or good and evil because that misses the point. Unlike western cosmology where light must overcome dark, in Taoism both must exist in harmony. It is only good when yin and yang are balanced, not when one overcomes the other.
Alan Watts has a great explanation for this harmony in saying "one side is always winning, but never the winner, and the other side is always losing, but never the loser" In my experience, having challenges and pain strengthens our compassion and love, and makes us more resilient! Thus both sides of light and dark are in a constant state of becoming, but neither totally crushes the other. They both have to exist for harmony to exist, and they both help each other grow.
Can you do a video on how to make a house welcoming with disabled access? My fiance is newly paraplegic, so we'll need to make some changes to the house to make it wheelchair friendly. Unfortunately, most accessible items like grip poles, banisters on the bed, ramps etc, often look a bit out of place and ugly, they get in the way of the flow of the house. They ofc need to be placed in a way for easy access but is there anything you'd consider to make them feel less in the way or perhaps cover with something that looks nice? We need a disabled home but don't want it to feel like it, basically.
I'm not an expert on home design but my disability has caused me to use certain accessibility tools and it strikes me as a lot of stuff is silver colored metal, blocky, kind of ugly right? But I'm not sure if trying to hide it would work, as much as designing around it. So like, mirrors and wall decorations that are silver or other metallic to match, and use clean lines, neutrals with pops of color, stuff like that? And maybe if you like softness have some areas be like, more soft and warm and inviting, and some areas be more minimalistic and metallic? Or maybe just stick to certain metallic centerpieces without making every single thing like that. Sorry if this is not very well explained. I don't think I did the greatest job because I'm definitely not knowledgeable about stuff. But I just feel for y'all's situation and I think there's definitely a way to make things seem more incorporated instead of standing out as "oh this is a grab bar" or whatnot. In any case, best wishes!!
@@stillnotstill oh that's actually really helpful thank you! Yeah it makes sense like try to match the home to the equipment rather than the other way around - thank you!!
My first thought is possibly to cover straight, smooth items in peel'n stick vinyl made for cabinets/resurfacing! Easy to get a lot of colors and to cut into place/to each item to bring together with other colors/designs in the room if that's your issue, since unfortunately a lot of disability aids just tend to come in very simple colors/metals. But the nice thing is that means you do have the ability to add your own style to it! Some come in more grippy surfaces, I know they make a TON of varieties in texture now vs how they used to be. Otherwise you could possibly look into making simple fabric coverings, Hobby Lobby tends to have a clearance fabric area at my local shops that you can find fun, small cuts of cotton fabrics and even specialty cuts of fancier fabric sometimes if you're especially on a budget. (Depends on the store and the day for what cuts you get! I've found some really nice stuff though personally there. Same goes for thrift store bolts of fabric and fabric sections.) As for items you can store out of the way until they're needed, hiding them under side tables/short furniture usually works well for bulky items we need to keep around for us. Especially those ottomans with empty storage and a lid to sit on. They're excellent for things you need hidden in plain sight and easily accessible, especially when there's no company over.
thank you so much! i never really understood this before, but i realized it that yin & yang isn’t just good and evil, it’s the balance of the two opposites. most importantly, it’s not just divided in half abruptly, everything in between coexists.
That was truth, so obvious. I love the full example, very artistic. I love the poetry of putting black and white on a scale. Sorta ironic, very sophisticated. Such an age old hot topic, so succinctly explained. ;)
Tan, do you have any ideas about bringing feng shui into the lives of my animals. For example, where may I want to put a dog bed that will be inline with the guidelines of feng shui with respect to my own feng shui layout in different rooms
Hello, I watched all your Feng Shui videos. I just bought a new house and will move in this December. I need help from you where to put my bed and sofa. How can I send my floorplan sketch to you?
Hello! New subscriber here! I am fixing and rearranging my room for more than a decade, and I’m so tired! I have a lot of things, I’ve transferred to a bigger room. Now my final room is I am sleeping in the middle floor in a mat, I can’t have a bed cos all my walls has my stuff. I think this is the only way I can use my bed room functionally while keeping my many stuffs. I’m planning to sell them out anyway.
Hi, I found your video about feng shui 2019 when I first moved and now I just subscribed and wondered where I could send you a picture of my space to help me with the flow of my space a little better. It’s a tricky space but I think I’ve done a good job except for one part and that’s the part that is a bit hard. ✨✨✨
I just came across your videos and feel like it is fate. I am getting a home addition done (and am having trouble committing to the floor plan). Would love to share the plans with you to get your feedback!!
There are two genders and they are blended between. I’m a somewhat masculine woman for instance… I own both my masculine and feminine qualities in this body and am at peace with myself. My husband has some feminine qualities and we balance each other out in all facets. The worst is when people deny the masculine and feminine energy in the body they were born in to the detriment of themselves… whether they are trying to fit into a box of conventionality or trying to be something “other” than what they are to be different or unique or unconventional. It’s all about balance and peace. This is why extreme ideology whether right or left makes no sense and is harmful people. One must accept who they are in order to move forward. Discontent breeds from denying truth.
@Jamie so how many choices do i get when I want a change at a clinic? ooohh. lol yes or no. binary or not. male or female. y'all just confusing yourself. it exists even if you don't believe it does. because belief isn't required to make it so.
@@schuylergeery-zink1923 Yes exactly, extreme ideology is harmful in so many ways. People can miss how much we need perspective, to be able to actually see the extreme-ness. When you zoom out a little from the time and place(s) we're in, we find that the temporary and locational extreme-ness is in the limiting of gender to a binary. Colonial forces moved toward reserved expression, to separate themselves from the rambunctious "heathens" around them, and pushed themselves further into a restrictive binary. But most cultures around the world have included more than 2 genders within their accepted cultures, since time immemorial ;)
I want a whole new bunch of videos from you on philosophy We are so eurocentred We need to no more about south -east asian worldview If you could explain us I Ching I would be the happiest
??? Isn't For There is yang there is Yin and for there is Yin there is Yang? Which is a whole freaking different meaning.from one cannot exists without the other. Also I thought Wuji is about infinite and without borders not about being everything??? Yes the Wuji supposed represent the source of all things but it's another thing if wuji represent everything
paper is yin and yang you are yin and yang paper is yin you are yang house is yin and you and paper are yang neighborhood is yin and you and paper and house are yang town is yin and you and paper and house and neighborhood are yang etc...as above, so below
Beautiful to the point demonstration ! I can't believe i got a 3-D visual from one flat piece of paper. You are a GENIUS !
Even a "flat" piece of paper isn't truly flat 😉
You are an incredible teacher and I love your sense of humor!
Totally agree!
it was the cheeky wink for me 😂 but this was such a simple, clear explanation and I love it, thank you so much!

Woow I never knew Ying and Yang was more than just about duality!!
The circles had to mean something
Excellent use of light and shadow! Fantastic metaphor ❤

Try balancing all the metal with the other elements. Wood, water, fire, and earth.

This was such a beautiful illustrative lesson!! And thank you for your comment on gender~!
Brother Cliff, thank you for the informative videos and advice. I highly appreciate your content.
the gender comment made me smile a lot more than i expected it too :)
Made me fucking die inside
There is only male and female, dominant and submissive. Even in a same sex relationship one is always more masculine, even if slightly. Man and female
@@eduardsiger1860 k, nobody asked? Remain ignorant, friend
@@eduardsiger1860biologically yes but socially no
@bum bum biologically no. Ever heard of intersex people? It's more common than red hair.

You are such a joy and I'm so glad I found you. 😊
I literally love you. You give me such good energy-feel good vibe- I could listen to you redesign an entire house for real-real. 😊🙏😁
Hence the swirling shape, representing the continuous flow of all things.
Thank you! Love your videos 😂👍🏼
Tan, do you have any ideas about bringing feng shui into the lives of my animals. For example, where may I want to put a dog bed that will be inline with the guidelines of feng shui with respect to my own feng shui layout in different rooms
You tube needs a love button. This is shown beautifully.
I absolutely love this! Thank you 🙏
Could you do a video about radiators in a room? I never see that as an obstacle in modern homes.
Absolutely going to use this with my students, thank you!
Best explanation I EVER heard ❤
I could listen to you talk for ages. So entertaining and informative.
Ok , that was so mind-blowing, if my teacher is like this , I will be ecstatic to listen eveyday.
I love your energy!
This is awesome. Such a simple and concise way to explain it!
I would love to see what your ideal house would look like. Will you please do perfect home demonstration? Thank you much!!!
The wink 😉 got me....haha! Love this guy!
dude, teach me everything, you have the best teaching methods
Sir you are so charming
I love the videos you make!
"And all the genders inbetween". You're so based, thank you for that!
"without one, the other cannot exist". 👍
splendid!
cliff, you are wonderful! 🥰
I love learning this!
freaking love this, thank you for sharing . Your videos are so great. 💖
Amazing explanation! Thanks!
This is a fantastic explanation!
thank you for postig this very interesting, does Ying and Yang influence Fengshui

I'd like to know to, if your available to help,where and how do we communicate...thanks
He has a website where you can book an online consultation! He's located in the UK.
Everything is in everything, at least in part. It's never all black or all white... One of the many gifts of life ☯
Thanks for acknowledging the non-binary gender spectrum!
Why am I tearing up 🥲
That wink tho 😁😁

Some deep stuff there master
That was very impressive
so polarity is actually a continuum
brilliant
❤❤❤❤❤
Give us solutions fir missing areas in a house.
Really lovely.
Is there a better place to sit in a restaurant? What about where to sit in a coffee shop if you want to get lots of work done?
I LOVE YOU
awesome :D
Merci
Omg if I show you my living room can you tell me how to arrange it
This is awesome :)
that wink 💀
based
You rock
❤️
Hello can you do a 400cm by 325cm room with bed and desk
I want a whole new bunch of videos from you on philosophy
We are so eurocentred
We need to no more about south -east asian worldview
If you could explain us I Ching I would be the happiest
Once more, my mind is 🤯
If I have 3 male cats and one female cat, is the yin and yang out of balance in my house?
Need more
Omg I love this guy lol
So, without men...women are just people...🤔
I think you're the only reason I wouldn't wish for that 🥺
Thanks Feng Shui guy! *winksback 😂
so funny ..... & informative
huh people needed this to be explained to them ? i always just assumed it was instantly understood by everyone just by looking at the symbol
All the genders in between 😉
I wonder if you're born Singaporean. Cuz you're giving a Singaporean/Malaysian vibe.
That was excellent! But why are women represented by darkness when we literally give life?
my takeaway: the universe is a mobius strip
⬜️
EVEN IN ANCIENT CHINESE PHILOSOPHIES THERE ARE MORE THAN 2 GENDERS
I need help with my room😭😭
;)
Do this video again with no shirt on.
???
Isn't For There is yang there is Yin and for there is Yin there is Yang?
Which is a whole freaking different meaning.from one cannot exists without the other.
Also I thought Wuji is about infinite and without borders not about being everything???
Yes the Wuji supposed represent the source of all things but it's another thing if wuji represent everything
至阴则无阳，至阳则无阴，阴阳相生，两仪相和，取之中庸，此之谓道😁
LOL, "All the genders in between..." 😉
🏳️⚧️🏳️⚧️🏳️⚧️ 😍
A lot of things are on a spectrum but gender is not one of them.
paper is yin and yang
you are yin and yang
paper is yin you are yang
house is yin and you and paper are yang
neighborhood is yin and you and paper and house are yang
town is yin and you and paper and house and neighborhood are yang
etc...as above, so below
2 genders 2 sexes.
it's ridiculous how that wink made me feel so seen 🥲
