myfs_138641 Posted March 10, 2009 Share Posted March 10, 2009 Hi I've been reading a lot of articles on the internet about feng shui principle but there are a few things I am still unsure of. I live in a two bedroom apartment and the bedroom is also my study room. I have found out that my kua is 2, so I arranged my bed in my favorable position, now what I am not clear about is how to go about arranging the rest of the room, do I still consider the inauspicious areas that are associated with my Kua and use the Bagua chart but avoid placing things in the inauspicious areas, or do I simply ignore them and arrange everything as I would only considering the Bagua chart? For example east is one of my inauspicious areas, but from the bagua chart we can see that it's area of family relationships and health, and can be activated by wood elements (this is another issue I am unsure of, the bagua chart displays different elements associated with different direction, for example north is water, so does that mean that that area will benefit from water elements, what about the productive cycle, for example metal strengthens water, so can I also place metal elements in the north section to activate water/ the energies and associated with that direction. so do I avoid activating that corner because it's in my inauspicious sector or is it ok? My other dilema is with the location of the table the configuration of my room permits only one bed placement which forces the table to be placed facing the window opposite to the wall with the door but it is on a diagonal however there is a walk in closet right behind the desk. How could I arrange it better?Here is an image of my bedroomThanks for any advice you may give! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff Cecil Lee Posted March 10, 2009 Staff Share Posted March 10, 2009 1. The origin of the FIXED TEMPLATE BAGUA model originated from this infamous person: Lin Yun. 2. You can read this article extract from this website about the Confessions of Lin Yun:- [ URL link no longer exists ] Appended by Cecil Lee in 2020: Apologies, Please understand that this article was written in 2009 = many years ago. 3. The fixed template Feng Shui is considered by many Traditional Feng Shui practitioners as too static a model. 4. This fixed template bagua - does not take into consideration both: Shapes and Forms Feng Shui and Compass School Feng Shui. 5. Under the Compass School Feng Shui: there is the Eight House (East/West Group / Ba Cai). 6. Even if you are applying the Kua (Gua) you have to consider the full spectrum of the Compass School Feng Shui and not just Kua (Gua). 7. Now, you are trying to practice some kind of "half-cooked = half-baked" Feng Shui considering how to either try to combine Kua (Gua) with fixed template and scatching the head to see which to drop. 8. When applying Traditional Compass School Feng Shui, one should consider applying both the Eight House and Flying Star Feng Shui and also Shapes and Forms. 9. Usually, as you had found out that the configuration of your room only permits certain (optimium) placement of things like table etc... thus Shapes and Forms Feng Shui, is usually the major consideration. 10. And things like Gua (Kua) is considered as NICE-TO have and not a MUST-have. But the fixed template bagua should be totally discounted, thou. Think of Lin Yun and his confession.
