Energy flow and balance are common principles within the many Feng Shui schools. Living a full and happy life entails learning, understanding and implementing the Law of Reciprocity. This involves a relationship of mutual exchange or interchange.
Think of a balance scale. Whatever you do on one side needs an equal energy done on the other for balance. Another example of flow is “holding” or not releasing, like the Dead Sea. The water from the Jordan Rivers’ water system comes to an end. With no outlet, the water becomes stagnant, making it unfit for most living organisms.
Time, Talents and Treasures
Giving to others takes different forms. One catchy phrase states, “Give of your time, talents or treasures.” A priceless gift is spending time with a person. Maybe your expertise in life, known as your talents, is the gift you share. Financial gifts or “treasures” benefit organizations as well as individuals.
