Baqua Map Gift Guide

Baqua Map Gift Guide

In Feng Shui (pronounced fung shway), "cures" are used to quickly re-direct chi (the invisible energy that affects our homes, businesses, and even our health and well being.

The Baqua Map on the left shows the 9 separate areas of energy and intention in Feng Shui. Baqua means 8-sided and is pictured as an octagonal shape. You may superimpose the map over any floor plan of a home, room, or office to see what areas need attention.

In arranging a room, 9 areas are noted to be of special significance. The following table, also known as a Baqua Map, illustrates the relationship of areas in a room (or home) in relation to the room's Main Entrance. Imagine dividing your room (home, office) into the following 9 areas.

When an environment cannot be changed to the ideal energy movement, "Cures" are used. Below is a listing of cures, followed by products used in most cures.
