Feng Shui Secrets That Will Change Yo ur life
2.9 The Psychology of Feng Shui –

Positive Visualization and Intentions
You've already learned about some of the ways feng
shui can change your life by attracting the positive
energy into your lives. If you have the pure intention of
making feng shui a part of our life, the result will be
magnified a hundred times.
Following the process in feng shui is easy, but having

the right and pure intention is the hard part.
How do you force yourself to intend something?
For one, visualization will help a lot. Once you visualize

the results, and they should be positive ones, your
intention and desire towards a goal will increase.
The next step is to connect your body with the results

that you're visualizing. Once you experience it in your
body, we will be prompted to act on it. The last step is
to expect the outcome or results.
Whenever you use feng shui in your life, you have to be

clear on what you really want to happen. If you do not
know what you want, achieving the end-result will be a
hard task. You have to be specific in your wants. You
can say that you want to be rich, but the intention is
not as pure because you're not specific with it. If you
say that you want to achieve a total Net Sales of a
million dollars by year-end, this is more specific and
your intention is clearer.
Deep inside each one of us, there lies a powerful tool

which is needed for transformation. This is our
imagination. Our imagination allows us to visualize
things on how we want to perceive them. Imagination
also helps in creating intention. If you have a powerful
imagination, you'll have clearer ways of visualizing
things which will strengthen our intention.
If you have pure intentions, you'll be closer to its

manifestation. Expecting the results will definitely
increase your desire. You have to act on something
before you can actually achieve it. You need to want it

so bad that you can already make it happen just by

purely intending it to happen.
Of course, you can use the services of a feng shui

professional. A professional can help you achieve a
clearer mind and help you analyze what you want and
what you need. A feng shui professional can steer you
in the right direction and give you the needed push if
you want to have a change in lifestyle.
2.10 Discovering the Magic of the Bagua

As you have seen already, the bagua is very
instrumental in feng shui. It will help you determine
how the different areas of your house are impacting the
specific areas of your life.
We've already touched briefly on the bagua, but let's go

into more detail. The bagua is an energetic map and a
tool that can be used in order to determine the energy
levels in your house. This is based on the teachings
written in I-Ching. Using the bagua, a given space is
divided in nine areas with each area having its
corresponding area in your life. Each space will have a
definable boundary and main entrance. Before you
practice feng shui, it will be very helpful if you can
memorize the bagua so that you can automatically
pinpoint which area should be worked on if you want to
improve a specific area in your life.
The bagua is traditionally represented as an octagon-

shaped map. It's basically a floor plan divided in nine
areas which are called "guas" in Chinese. These guas
are also known Life Areas and represent different
energies that have a corresponding area in your life.
The following are the nine areas and the corresponding

aspect in life and environment:
The figure above can help you to better pinpoint which

area of your house corresponds to specific life areas.
These areas are all positioned in relation to the front
door of your house, which is now north.
Note: Not north as read by a compass, but north in

relation to the bagua map, which we’ll now use as our

guide for all directions inside our house, north south
east and west.
The bagua can also be used in physical healing and

achieving good health. There are different body parts
that correspond to the nine areas and that will be
discussed later.
You have to remember that in the practice of feng shui,

no area is more important or better than others. All the
areas are inter-related and all have equal contributions
in helping you achieve a balanced and harmonious life.
The area you should focus on is completely up to you
and most importantly, you should first work with the
areas in your life which needs improvement.
Another thing that you have to remember is that the

areas are not at all exclusive with the particular specific
life area that they represent. For example, in the family
aspect, your dining room and living room can also be
considered as a family area since this is where the
family spends time together.
2.11 How does it relate to Your Life?

The bagua is also referred to as the map of feng shui as
every life situation that happens to you can be found
and categorized in the map. The bagua simply states
the basic feng shui principle that every area in your life
should be balanced as evidenced by the nine equally
plotted areas.
The main center of the bagua is called tai chi.
If there is more than one entrance in a room or space,

then you have to choose the main entrance. Every space
has a bagua, all rooms in your house have one, your
house has a big one and even your office space has one.
Here's the bagua diagram again to give you an easier
time in plotting the bagua in any room in your house.

2.12 Mapping the Bagua Map onto Your Home's

Floor Plan
The first thing that you have to do is to acknowledge
that there are 3 bottom squares in the bagua and these
are: Knowledge and Self-cultivation found on the lower
left, Career and Life Journey located on the lower center
and the Travel and Helpful People located in the right
square.
Next, you have to start with the main or first floor of

your house. You need to make a simple drawing on
tracing paper so that you can see through it. It should
outline the entire space, the perimeter and outline of all
of the walls and rooms inside. Next, just mark down

where the main door or entrance to your space is. In

essence, this is a blue print of the space that you want
to be plotted.
Now, you need to put the sketch on top of the bagua

map (or vice versa, however you’ve done it). You should
basically be able to see the plan and the bagua at the
same time, to see what goes where.
Now you need to line it up correctly. Use the front door

of your house as the main reference point which should
line up against the bottom 3 squares of the bagua map,
as detailed on the diagram. The rest of the map should
now flow into the rest of your space so you can identify
where each gua (life area) is.
After you've done all the steps above, you can now
select which gua you'd like to improve first, or the area
in your life you'd want to achieve more harmony and
balance in, and see exactly where it is located in your
space.
When mapping the bagua in your house, you need to

take note of the different areas which might be missing
(your space may be irregularly built) so that you can
employ cures and focus the right type of energy to make
up for missing areas. Missing areas will mean that this
type of luck (love, wealth, career etc), as shown in the
relevant area on the bagua map, will be missing from
your home.
If possible, you can build extensions to complete the

rectangular or square shape needed for the bagua.
Another possibility is to install a light in the space if it’s
accessible.
If it’s simply not possible to reach the area, you can

hang a wall mirror on the main inside wall that will
mirror the missing space behind the wall giving you the
lost area back.
Now when you target the missing area to enhance it’s

energy, you can use items to reflect in the mirror.
However, they should not destroy elements and
contradict the existing space’s energy flow. Find out
more on how to do that later.
