{"product_id":"black-obsidian-bagua-yin-yang-pendant","title":"Black Obsidian\u0026Tourmaline Bagua Yin Yang Pendant — Feng Shui Protection","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe bagua has been carved, painted, and worn in China for over four thousand years. This pendant cuts it in black obsidian — opaque, volcanic, heavy in the hand. The yin-yang sits at the center. The eight trigrams ring it on all sides. It is not subtle, and it is not meant to be.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eThe Yin-Yang: Two Forces, One Form\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe yin-yang is one of the most recognized symbols in the world, and also one of the most misread. It does not mean good and evil, or positive and negative in a moral sense. The tradition holds that it describes how all forces in nature come paired — dark and light, stillness and motion, contraction and expansion. Neither side wins. Each contains a seed of the other, shown in that small dot on each half.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eThe Bagua: Eight Trigrams Around the Octagon\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBagua means \"eight trigrams.\" Each trigram is a stack of three lines — solid for yang, broken for yin — and each combination maps to a force in the natural world. Heaven, Earth, Fire, Water, Thunder, Wind, Mountain, Lake. Together they are said to account for every condition a person might face.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhy the Octagon — Not a Circle, Not a Square\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMost protective amulets in Chinese tradition are circular or square. The octagon is different. It holds the middle position — not the completeness of the circle, not the fixed stability of the square, but something that moves between them. Eight corners that catch force from every angle. Eight edges that redirect rather than absorb.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eCare\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eObsidian is volcanic glass — it chips cleanly under sharp impact, so avoid dropping it on hard surfaces. Keep away from perfume and prolonged moisture. Wipe with a soft dry cloth.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Buddha Tibet","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48826640302218,"sku":"xd00145","price":37.88,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/5268\/2634\/files\/black-obsidiantourmaline-bagua-yin-yang-pendant-feng-shui-protectionbuddha-tibet-1423845.jpg?v=1779809061","url":"https:\/\/www.buddhatibet.com\/es\/products\/black-obsidian-bagua-yin-yang-pendant","provider":"Buddha Tibet","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
