FENG SHUI BAGUA
Feng shui bagua is an important concept to understand if you're remodeling or decorating your home according to feng shui principles. Essentially, feng shui bagua provides a map you can use to arrange your home up most effectively to increase the flow of positive energy, or chi, in your living space. A feng shui map teaches you the basic concepts behind the positioning of rooms and furnishings according to feng shui teaching.
It's all about showing you how energy flows from one space to another and how you can open that space up to allow the flow of positive energy. The concept can be applied to both large and small spaces ... and even to components of a space such as a countertop or desk.
A feng shui map also shows you the relationships between the nine essential components of life, the elements of nature, and the use of color to attract or focus on certain aspects in a particular space. Feng shui bagua divides our life or concerns into the following nine areas: Wealth, Fame and Aspirations, Relationships, Family ancestors, Health, Children and Creativity, Knowledge (Study, Meditation and Awareness), Your Career or Life Path, Helpful Friends and Travel Guides on Your Journey Through Life.
The practice of feng shui is based on five elements: Earth, Water, Fire, Metal, and Wood. A feng shui map also shows you how each of these elements relates to each of the nine areas of your life. For instance, 1) Career or life path relates to the element of water; 2) Relationships relate to the earth element; 3) Family ancestors focus on the element of wood: 4) Wealth also focuses on the element of wood; 5) Health is related to the earth element; 6) Friends and guides correlate to the element of metal; 7) Children and creativity are also identified with the element of metal; 8) Knowledge and awareness are earth elements; and 9) Fame and lofty aspirations relate to the element of fire.
A feng shui map creates a basic grid of these nine separate areas. Take the layout of your home or your home blueprint and place it beneath the feng shui bagua to evaluate how your space is laid out according to the feng shui principles. Focusing on the elements of your home and the areas of your life each grid on your map relates to, you can then utilize furniture placement and even feng shui colors to align the energy in your home so that it flows better. You may opt to change wall or carpet colors based on what you learn from the map, rearrange furnishings, remove clutter, or incorporate decorative items in specific colors to help foster a focus on increasing energy in certain areas or to focus on particular elements of your life.
If you're remodeling your home or redecorating, why not employ the benefits of feng shui while you do it? Most of us could use extra positive energy in our lives. Utilizing the feng shui bagua is a great way to add more positive energy in your environment!
