How Feng Shui Can Help You Achieve Goals
The Knowledge, Career, or Travel & Helpful People section.
If your front door is in the center area of
your home, it’s in the Career section. If it’s to the left (when you are facing your front door, looking in), it’s in the Knowledge section. If it’s to the right, it’s in the Helpful People section.
That’s easy enough, right?
Moving on, the next segments of the Ba Gua, from left to right, are the Family and Health section, your home’s Central Palace, and the Children & Creativity section.
If you picture the Ba Gua as a metaphysical tic-tac-toe board, these reside in the middle row. Still following?
The back wall of your home contains the final 3 sections of the Ba Gua (from left to right, when you are standing at the front door, looking in): Wealth, Fame & Reputation, Marriage / Relationships.
So, the Wealth area — one of the most common areas where people wish to improve the flow of chi — is always the back left corner. What’s in the back left corner of your house? How about in the back left corner of your living room? Or your home office?
If you don’t like what’s there, we’ll change it shortly, opening the door to welcome all the wealth you deserve into your life. Sounds good, right?
Rooms may overlap into multiple sections of the Ba Gua. A large family room on the second level or in the basement, for instance, may cover 6 or all 9 sections of the Ba Gua. A room in the back half a home or apartment may be partially in the Family section and partly in the Wealth section.
Lay out the Ba Gua based on square footage, disregarding walls that divide rooms. (Unless you are laying the Ba Gua over a single room, of course). That’s why rooms can reside in 2 sections of the Ba Gua.
You can choose to lay the Ba Gua over your whole home, your property or a single room.
By the way, “trigram” is just the word for a single section of the Ba Gua, named because the Ba Gua is made up of 3 sections of 3 parts each. You can lay the Ba Gua over a single room — or your entire property — in the same way. Again, the front of the Ba Gua should be wherever the main entrance to that room (the mouth of chi) is located.
When you lay the Ba Gua over a plot of land, the front edge of the Ba Gua (containing the Knowledge, Career and Travel sections) should be along the front line of your property.
There are a few things to remember when you lay the Ba Gua out over your space though.
- Focus first on the main floor of your home, as this is where most of the energy in your home is focused.
- Remember to include all attached spaces, including your garage, room additions, and screened in porches.
- For rooms on upper and lower levels, you may wish to impose the Ba Gua over each individual room, rather than the whole level.
- Remember, the energy centers or trigrams will be different when the Ba Gua is placed over individual rooms than when it is placed over the main floor of your home. For even greater results, you can apply the Ba Gua in multiple rooms — this is called “layering.” In other words, if you want to increase your wealth, you can empower the Wealth trigram of the Ba Gua on your home’s main floor, and again in your bedroom or home office.
