In Feng Shui, the space of a home or office corresponds to the life
experiences of its occupants. For instance, there is a part of your home
that relates to money, a part that relates to health, and a part that
relates to partnerships.
In the Location School of Feng Shui
(also called BTB or the Form School), the Ba’Gua, the I Ching hexagram,
is used to determine the location of these life functions within the
space. As shown above, the placements are determined by the location
of the door that constitutes the formal entrance to the room or building
in question. In Feng Shui, the door is the “Mouth of Chi” through
which energy (or chi) flows into a space.
To determine the placements for your
particular space, orient the bottom side of the diagram above to the side
of the room or building that contains the entrance door. Then divide the
space into the nine equal portions shown above. If your space is not a
square or rectangle, you may have a situation where portions of the Ba’Gua
are either doubled or missing. If you have a missing section, then one of
the Feng Shui cures are needed to adjust the energy of the space.
Pay particular attention to the contents
of any section of the Ba’Gua that relates to a problem area of your life.
For instance, a leak or flood in your money area doesn't bode well for
your finances and should be repaired immediately. And if your relationship
corner contains a pile of old books and work papers, then no wonder you
never find time for dating! Replace them with lights, thriving plants, and
pictures of couples having fun and you'll soon find Mr. or Ms. Right.
