Bagua

Car Bagua

Published February 2, 2007 | By shirleytwofeathers

Flower power for your car:

Cut a six-inch bagua shape in each of the eight outside bagua colors and cut a nine-inch circle in yellow for the center. Arrange them in the proper order and tape them together. The final configuration should look like a colorful daisy with a yellow center and different colored petals. Place this daisy under the mat of the car. The black petal of the daisy should be closest to the rear trunk, and red (Fame) toward the engine. Place this bagua under the driver’s seat, or under the mat that covers the floor board.

Simply having a daisy (any size) somewhere on you (or in your brief case, shoe, or underwear) will assist you while on the road. Since this daisy is a complete bagua representation, it’s hard to think of any place that would be inappropriate.

Create A Bagua for Your Home

Feng Shui activity for today:

Making the bagua work for your home

Draw out the floor plan of your home. Draw the floor plan for each floor separately. If you have three floors to your home, you will have three sheets of paper.

Now take this bagua:

and draw in the corresponding areas over your floor plan. Each area of the bagua should be the same size. If an area overlaps two or more rooms of your home, that’s fine.

The main door of the home (the architect determined this – this is not necessarily the door you use most often!) will always be on the side of the bagua with the Skills/Knowledge, Career, and Helpful People/Travel areas. Your main door will enter into any of these three areas. The only exception is if, as soon as you enter your home, you have to go up a flight of stairs to get to the actual living area, and you happen to be facing the opposite direction when you reach the top of the stairs, then you can use the top of the stairs as the “main entrance” to your home and place the bagua accordingly over your floor plan.

Here is an example of what it might look like:

Refer back to the journaling you did yesterday. You can make notes in each area of the things you want to pay special attention to this month.

What is a Bagua?

Published January 2, 2007 | By shirleytwofeathers

Everything that happens in life can be boiled down into one of 9 life situations or categories, and each category is represented in your living quarters by a particular area. Each area is called a gua, and the sum of these areas put in a particular order is called the bagua. Ba means eight, and the bagua has eight sides. The eight sides, plus the middle area, make up the nine zones that relate to different life situations.

Here is a picture of the bagua we will be using:
