Do you know that the cardinal directions affect living things?organisms? For example, moss on tree trunks grows thicker on the northern side. The southern slope of an anthill is more gentle than the northern one. Seagulls nest on the western shores of islands. And a sunflower follows the sun, turning its head from east to west. According to the teachings of Feng Shui, our home is also a living organism. And according to the cardinal directions, Feng Shui zones are determined in it, which influence our lives. Sometimes it seems that this ancient teaching contains elements of magic, and sometimes that everything in it is logical and rational. Let's try to figure out what is more in the teachings of Feng Shui zones - magic or common sense?
What are Feng Shui and Bagua Mesh?
Feng Shui teaches us to achieve harmony withthe surrounding space, which, in turn, can influence the course of our lives. According to the teachings of Feng Shui, everything that happens in a person's life can be divided into nine categories. This is exactly what makes up its meaning and life itself. What are these categories? Path, love, family, wealth, health, prosperity, creativity, friends, inner knowledge and glory. All these categories make up a single and ordered whole. The harmony (or disharmony) of all the components of our life depends on how we organize our living space. It turns out that our home can be divided into conditional zones that influence one or another aspect of life. And knowing where exactly in the house the zones of influence on our life are located and how they are located, you can try to correct them. The tool with which the zones of influence in our home are determined is called the Bagua grid. This is a magical octagon, divided into multi-colored sectors (zones), tied to the cardinal directions. The Bagua grid helps to find out which part of the house influences a certain area of life. By the way, the Bagua grid in a simplified version is a rectangle consisting of nine squares, in which the feng shui zones are distributed (according to the cardinal directions).
What influences the zone of feng shui
Here are the main nine zones of influence in your home. How can you determine where and which zone is located?
How to identify zones of influence
The location of each zone in the house according to Feng Shuican be determined using the Bagua grid and a compass. If you don’t have a compass (and you most likely don’t), then just look at which side of your windows the sun sets or rises. And, remembering your school geography, determine where North, South, West and East are in your house. Now you will need a plan of the apartment or house you live in. It is not that difficult to get one. If you live in your own house, then this plan is probably included in the documents for it. If you live in an apartment with a standard layout, its plan can easily be found on the omniscient Internet. In the end, this plan can simply be drawn on a notebook sheet in a cage (this makes it easier to calculate all the meters and centimeters). Now take the Bagua grid, which you can also draw yourself or download from the Internet, and superimpose it on the plan of your house. Match the cardinal directions on the plan and on the grid, and then just look at how the Feng Shui zones are located in the house. Of course, everything is simple only at first glance. In fact, some surprises may await you. Firstly, the apartment may not be a perfect rectangle, but a complex figure with protruding or missing corners. Therefore, some zones of influence in your house can easily “run away” to the neighbors or to the stairwell. Secondly, the most influential sectors may well be located, for example, on the balcony, in the hallway or in the toilet (in the bathroom). And thirdly, it may turn out that the layout of your house is simply completely unfavorable from the point of view of Feng Shui. What to do? Remember, we talked about the magical properties of Feng Shui? So now is the time to use these properties to adjust the zones of influence in your home.
How to adjust and activate zones of influence
If any area of influence in your home is simplyis absent, then Feng Shui experts advise to impose the Bagua grid on the plan of the main room and determine all the Feng Shui zones in it. If the functional purpose of the premises does not correspond well with the purpose of the zone of influence, then this problem can also be easily corrected. And the whole point is that you can activate or correct the zones of influence simply with the help of talismans, color, light, furniture arrangement and symbols of the main elements (wood, water, etc.).
These are the flowers and talismans you can useadjust feng shui zones. Just add there what will help activate the zone of influence. And the most important condition for the zones of influence to really influence your life is the absence of trash, garbage and dirt. Only in a clean and uncluttered room will the energy circulate freely, attracting well-being and prosperity to your home. If you do everything correctly (as the teachings of feng shui advise), then soon changes for the better will come in your life. The main thing is to believe in it! We recommend reading:
