Feng Shui Center of the Home or Center of A Room?

Hello,

I have a question about Feng Shui that may sound a little stupid, but I cannot find an answer online for the life of me. When trying to find the direction/corner of an element in your home are you looking only at the actual magnetic direction? Please take a look at this chart, http://www.drstandley.com/images/fengShui.gif . Now is this chart “per room” so to speak or speaks for the whole house?

Say you have a one bedroom apartment. The entry is at the north, to the east is the bathrom, to the west is the kitchen and to the south is the bedroom. Standing in the bedroom would you still apply all 5 of the elements in each direction of the bedroom OR would you only apply the “bedroom feng shui” plus the corresponding directions such as South, Southeast and Southwest that were originally taken from the center of the house?

Does that make sense? I think I just made myself so much more confused!

Please help!

First off, I am not a big fan of Black Hat Tantric Feng Shui. This is because it simplifies the concept of Feng Shui too much. It was developed only in the 1980′s and was developed by Professor Lin Yun in Northern California. Because it has not been around that long, it is hard to validate its effectiveness.

In true Feng Shui form, one ALWAYS needs to use a Feng Shui compass. This is because the compass can tell us what type of chi occupies a space. It involves calculations based on the house facing direction and year it was built. A Flying Star chart is created to tell us what type of chi makes up the house. This is the most effective and accurate method used to access a home’s Feng Shui.

To answer your question, you can apply the Ba Gua map over the entire house or just a single room of the house. Most practitioners would first superimpose the entire Ba Gua map over the entire property first. Then, they would apply it over certain rooms of the house.

For example, let say you apply the Ba Gua map over your entire house and see that your career area is missing. Well, you can not activate a missing area. However, if you apply the Ba Gua map over just the living room, then you can activate the corner associated with the career sector.

What you need to do is see which area you want to activate and balance out. Then if you can not activate the area when using the Ba Gua map over the entire property, you can apply the Ba Gua map over just one room, the living room is a good room to do so. One word of caution, the bedroom is a place a rest, so make sure you do not have too much going on in it.

Good luck.
