Q & A – Bagua & Colors
Q. Hi! I have a Bagua curiosity. Should one coordinate purely within the colors of the Bagua Map into the main floor? For example, my living room beautifully aligns with the Helpful People/Travel “gua”, but does it mean I need to decorate and colorize this space with whites, grays and blacks only? This seems silly. Or would it be enough to collect certain pieces in these colors? Always wanted to ask this question… Thank you! — Gina
Read MoreQ & A – The Devil in the Glass
Q. I have this client who collects things made of glass. She has a collection of what are sort of wine glasses with sculptures for stems. Two of the glass stem sculptures are of the devil, and one of them has the devil spearing a couple of people and there are little white glass dead bodies scattered around the base of the glass footing. She loves this! She had it in her fame area, and I’ve removed it to a holding area which is in knowledge. She wants to know if she can put these somewhere. I usually find knowledge (she is learning how to make glass things, these sculptures inform her…) to be the best place for questionable things. But I don’t have any sense of comfort about these things remaining. Perhaps these two things are all I can say. What would you say?
love, T.
Q & A – Hallway Bagua
Q. If you do it over the entire house and a room (like a hallway or a bedroom) is split down the center between the Health and Family area and the Wealth and Prosperity area, should you do one half of the hallway as H&F and the other half as W&P?
A. When 2 sections of the Bagua meet in the middle of a hallway, you can choose to enhance one or both sections there. The Bagua map provides us with a way to relate to Ch’i flow, which is fluid rather than rigid. So ask yourself which feels better and then enhance the space accordingly. Love, Terah
Read MoreQ & A – Bedroom in Health Area
Q. Our master bedroom resides in the Health and Family area. How can I set it up so that it’s warm and sensual for my wife and I, and still bring out the H&F part of it?
A. You’ll find lots of suggestions for enhancing the Health & Family area that’s in your master bedroom on page 40 and 185 in the Western Guide to Feng Shui, Room by Room book. Just keep your enhancements soft and romantic so that they harmonize with a restful bedroom atmosphere. Love, Terah
Read MoreQ & A – Bagua Room vs. Structure
Q. Are you suppose to use the bagua map over the entire house as well as in each individual room, or choose one or the other? If you choose one over the other, which is better to do: over the entire house, or room by room?
A. It can be very revealing to map both the entire house as well as each room. Because a house is bigger than a room, I like to concentrate on enhancing the house first, which inevitably takes me into various rooms! If your home is not a square or rectangle, it’s important to balance the shape, as described on page 29 in the Western Guide to Feng Shui, Room by Room. Then continue your enhancement work, room by room, until the whole house has had the pleasure of your Feng Shui touch. Remember, every square inch counts! Love, Terah
