Ying Yang Couples Gold Pendant

From LoveToKnow Feng-Shui

Ying yang couples gold pendant can be found searching under yin yang. Many people confuse the spelling of this phrase by placing the letter "g" on the end of both words. Yin yang is the proper spelling.

Meaning of Yin Yang Symbol

The yin yang symbol is a depiction of harmony existing between opposites. The yin and yang – female and male energies govern chi energy. The two opposites when joined together form a whole.

Correct Depiction of Tear-Drop Shapes

Many of the yin yang symbols on the market today are incorrect and depict the white and black teardrop shapes moving in the wrong direction. If this is unimportant to you then you’ll have more choices of pendants and most people won’t know whether the symbol is correct or incorrect. Still, it’s an important point if you are striving to purchase a symbol that reveals your relationship is in harmony and your lover completes you

Tear Drop Placements

To purchase a pendant that is correct in its Chinese symbolism, make sure that the black portion is on the right and the white is on the left. This is just one of the things that is often incorrect in modern depictions.

The significance of this placement is because the white represents the male energy (yin) which is located on the left and the female energy (yang) is black and located on the right. If you find it difficult to remember, you may have heard it said that the division of your physical body has a male and female side. The left side being male and the right side being female.

Ascending and Descending Positions

The two teardrop shapes have specific directions that symbolize the process of achieving harmony or oneness. The white teardrop ascends while the black one descends. That means the tail of the white teardrop is in the lower position while the bulb of the shape is at the top of the pendant.

The black side (right) descends with the tail at the top of the pendant and the bulb at the bottom. This creates a clockwise pattern that represents the constant motion of change. The circle that these two opposites create in their search for oneness establishes a balance of energies when working in harmony.

Matching Wholes Or Halves

Some pendants however, maybe be designed with a woman in mind, featuring diamonds and gemstones or created with a feminine design. The majority of those on the market, however, are attractive when worn by either a man or woman.

Engraving Your Pendant

You could also choose to engrave these in a language other than your own, for instance you could have your names written in Chinese on the back of the pendants. While giving each other token gifts of matching pendants is an outward sign of your commitment to each other, by engraving the backs of your pendants, you’ll be creating unique gifts not found anywhere else, just for the two of you.
