THE FENG SHUI ENERGY MAP AREAS
There are eight areas on the energy map with a ‘ninth area where all the other areas and their energies intersect,’ says Maureen Calamia, a Feng Shui practitioner. The quadrants correlate to:
– Career - north – Knowledge - north east – Family - east – Wealth - south east – Fame - south – Love - south west – New beginnings - west – Travel - north west – Health and Balance - center
‘Each area is then also associated with specific colors, elements, shapes, and symbols, which can energize or activate the area,’ furthers Matthias Dettmann, Feng Shui teacher. This can help to dictate your Feng shui bedroom layout, for example, or where to place your sofa for Feng Shui.
WHY THE FENG SHUI ENERGY MAP IS IMPORTANT
If you are looking to make your Feng Shui house happy, then the energy map or Bagua map could play a huge role, experts suggest. Using the Bagua map helps practitioners and clients to locate ‘the areas of a home which relate to the nine important areas, and notice which need action to improve the energy and help occupants to thrive,’ explains Suzanne Roynon, Feng Shui practitioner and designer at Interiors Therapy.
