The Bagua Map: Origins of Feng Shui

Filed Under: Feng Shui's Bagua Map Tagged With: Feng Shui Fundamentals, History Of Feng Shui

The history of Feng Shui’s Bagua Energy Map goes all the way back at least 2500 years to the Chinese philosopher Confucius, who actually contributed to its creation.

This unique and profound tool has been around for thousands of years, evolving into a profound yet simple-to-use instrument that helps you identify and anchor your Intention in your space.

For a good overview of this amazing creation, take a look at my post How To Use The Bagua Map, which includes a link to a pdf of the Bagua map that you can print for yourself.

The word “Ba-Gua” literally means “eight-sided” in Chinese, reflecting the fact that the map has eight sides representing the most important areas of your life: Love & Marriage, Career, Knowledge and Wealth, just to name a few.

But it also contains a ninth area: the Center, or Tai-Chi.

The Center, represented by the Yin/Yang symbol, connects and balances the eight sections and represents your overall physical, emotional and spiritual health.

This blog contains posts that review each critical area individually so you can do your best to identify your Intention and find ways to anchor and enhance it.

Let me know what questions you might have about this profound Feng Shui tool. Use it carefully and correctly and the Bagua map can change your life.

    Does this map apply to a single room as well? For example aligning the rooms door to entrance quadrant & maping things out accordingly or is the map for the entire house from the front door? Thanks

      Yes, it applies to both, you are right. I will be writing a blog post about this specifically very shortly. Thank you for the question.
