The Golden Ratio and Feng Shui
Since Feng Shui deals with balance, it is
not far off to discuss the matters about the Golden Ratio. The
Golden ratio is one of the precepts that govern Feng Shui. This
ratio is numerically described as 1.62. The Fibonacci numbers that
we know today are also directly linked to the Golden Ratio. When you
divide a certain term in a Fibonacci sequence with the number prior
to it, you will find that it approaches the value of the Golden
Ratio.
Beauty Equals Symmetry
The beauty of objects may be measured by its closeness to the golden
ratio. The symmetry of objects is the attribute that tells if a
thing is beautiful or not, for the most part. People naturally love
balance of elements, and for the chi to flow, the Golden Ratio must
apply.
The Golden Ratio in History
The Golden Ratio is manifested in various works of art that have
been lauded by the world as masterpieces. The genius in Da Vinci
lies in the symmetry of his works that reflect the Golden Ratio. The
drawing of the Vitruvian Man is a classic example of man who had the
ratio of 1.62 all over his body and was considered as a picture of
perfection.
The Golden Ratio in Famous Places
Famous places such as the pyramids of Egypt also employ the Golden
Ratio. The half of the bottom layer of the pyramids of Egypt is also
a factor of 1.62.
The Golden Ratio in Plants
Even plants have distinct characteristics of Golden Ratio. They
establish a Fibonacci sequence in the number of leaves. Even the
eyes of a pineapple follow this golden ratio. Much of the things
that are viewed as beautiful by the naked eye establish the factor
that possesses the Golden Ratio in one way or another. The Fibonacci
sequence can be more or less seen in the beauty of nature. Even
human DNA has factors that are assimilative of the Golden Ratio.
The Golden Ratio to Facial Features
If the ratio of your nose to your chin to the horizontal space
between your nose and one side of your cheek is more or less the
same as the Golden Ratio, you will find that the face is judged as
attractive. In some experimental studies done by scientists, where
they showed pictures of women to infants, the ones which had an
impact were the more symmetric faces.
Applying the Golden Ratio in Your Office Space
In your office space, it is quite easy to apply the Golden Ratio for
establishing balance and good Feng Shui. Just make sure that the
rectangular objects in your office follow the 1.62 golden ratio. You
don’t need a ruler to measure it on the dot. Just by looking at
relative sizes between objects that practice the Golden Ratio will
already suffice for giving good balance and Feng Shui to your office
space.
Applying the Golden Ratio in Your Home
The Golden Ration may be a bit trickier to apply at home than in
your office. You might have to apply the ratio to different
furniture in your home. Or, if at all possible, the actual room
space must at least have the Golden Ratio in it if your furnishings
are round or not viable for the Golden Ratio.
Good Feng Shui is actually possible if you already have the Golden
Ratio in your home or office.
