Crystal Feng Shui for Your Home
Crystal Feng Shui for Your Home, Applying feng shui principles to high-traffic areas like your bedroom, living space, or home office can have positive and reverberating effects throughout your life. Feng shui is all about balancing different elements such as wood, fire, earth, metal, and water, and ying with yang. The bagua map (which translates to “eight trigrams” in Chinese) is an important tool for creating this kind of harmony and balance throughout a space.
What is a bagua map, and how can I use it in my space?
A bagua map is used to divide your space into nine separate areas—each one relating to a certain theme. The center square of the bagua is considered the heart of the home, where the energy is distributed to all the different sectors.
There are two different approaches to using a bagua map: The traditional (or compass) bagua map uses a compass to determine the different areas of the home. The front door method, on the other hand, aligns the bottom of the bagua map with a home’s front door. I like to use this method in apartments since they generally are not exposed to the elements like houses are. Chances are that when you’re looking straight across your apartment from the front door, you’re looking at a sunny spot—so it would make sense that that’s where the reputation gua, which is ruled by fire (more on that below), would fall. I prefer to use the compass method for houses that are surrounded by land and have more access to the elements.
Crystal Feng Shui for Your Home
If you live in an apartment:
Align the bottom of the bagua map with your front entrance wall. Your front door will most likely be in the knowledge and self-cultivation area, career area, or helpful people area.
If you live in a house:
Grab a physical compass or download a compass app to your smartphone. Place the career area of your home where your compass indicates north. The south will be your reputation area, the east will be your ancestors and health area, and so on.
What each section of the bagua map represents.
Once you organize your space into a bagua map, you can tackle the sections that relate to your goals outside of the home. For example, if you’re hoping to bring more financial abundance into your life, you can add some plants to your wealth and prosperity area. Here’s what you need to know about every section of the bagua map and how to bring more of its energy into your life:
