Q & A – Essential Feng Shui Bagua Map

Q: Many of the other Western schools do not include outdoor spaces within the indoor bagua…spaces like carports and front porches. Is there a specific explanation for outdoor spaces with the indoor bagua space? I may be mistaken, but it seems as though Essential Feng Shui is the only Western school that does this. Candy S., FL

A: Essential Feng Shui includes all the connected spaces because we don’t want to leave anything out! Yes, this is a very conservative view of one’s bagua, but it’s one that we’ve found most accurately reflects the connection between our environments and all aspects of our lives. Of course, there will always be exceptions, but this general rule of inclusion honors ALL the living spaces, just as we choose to honor ALL the parts of our lives. Liv Kellgren – Teacher, WSFS
