LOCATE YOUR HOME'S ENERGY CENTERS WITH FENG SHUI
With the adoption of Feng Shui into every home we can now divide each room into different energy centres that represent important areas of life. In Compass Feng Shui the Bagua 8 area map is used in practice to identify the locations.
Locating the energy centers
Using the Bagua map we can determine the regions of your home, workplace or garden. Let's take the first step in performing a map reading:
The Bagua is comprised of eight areas surrounding a center: Family & New Beginnings (Zhen), Wealth & Abundance (Xun), The Center & Health (Tai Qi), Helpful People & Travel (Qian), Children & Completion (Dui), Knowledge & Self-Cultivation (Gen), Fame & Reputation (Li), Career & Life Path (Kan), Love & Partnerships (Kun).
The map can sometimes appear as a 3×3 grid that shows where these nine energy areas exist in the home. The first step is to apply the map to your home is by using the “front door method".
Use a compass to determine the exact direction of the front door.
Place the compass point of the Bagua on that area of the floor plan.
The area for north on the Bagua is always placed on the wall of the front door; the area of life is Career.
Then center the Career region of the Bagua on the wall of your front door
The other eight areas are determined based on their location relative to the home or room’s entrance.
Wealth & Abundance: Located in the far left corner of the home.
Fame & Reputation: Located in the far middle area of the home.
Love & Partnerships: Located in the far right corner of the home.
Family & New Beginnings: Located in the middle left area of the home.
The Center & Health: Located in the middle of the home.
Children & Completion: Located in the middle right area of the home.
Knowledge & Self-Cultivation: Located in the inside left corner of the home.
Career & Life Path: Located in the inside center of the home.
Helpful People & Travels: Located in the inside right corner of the home.
Colors in the Feng Shui Bagua
As you noticed in the Bagua map above each area on the Bagua has a color and each one correlates with different aspects in your life. If you want to enhance a specific area of your life you can either paint a room that color or you can add accents of that color to a room with pillows, art, candles or imagery.
The Five Elements in the Feng Shui Bagua map
The five Feng Shui Elements originate from the Taoist philosophy and the concepts aim to bring balance and harmony back into our environments. The elements of Feng Shui are metal, wood, fire, water, and earth and each energy is linked to certain life aspects. The different types of energy can be called upon to affect our health, wealth, and relationships.
