The Protective Bagua

 

This Protective Bagua is used to deflect interference energy away from the house.

The ‘official Bagua’ is an octagon shape. Its use was similar to a compass in centuries past, containing information about earth, man and the heavens. This is very auspicious tool that was carried from town to town offering guidance and protection.

For outside protection, use this particular wooden Bagua with a convex mirror. When hung from a doorway or window, it will deflect any negative energy with the mirror and provide balance within the bagua wheel.

When setting up this protection, placement of this bagua NEEDS to be outside and facing to the outside in the direction of the issue. The bagua is not meant to sent negativity or harmful thought to others, it’s meant to deflect not-so-positive energy from entering the home and your private space.

Your ‘issue’ could be deflecting noise from a construction site, Wi-FI disturbances, B &B Rentals or noisy neighbours. If you don’t wish this item to be visible outside and cause attention, you may camouflage this bagua and still reap the benefits. TIP: Placing the bagua INSIDE the window facing out will work too! It’s also effective to mask this behind a bush outside or on a fence post.

Another way to ‘hide’ the bagua on your front porch is to tuck it into a clay plant pot facing the disturbance. No one will know.

For most interior concerns, a bagua map (or grid) is used in BTB feng shui consultations.
In the BTB school, the octagon is stretched out into a grid pattern 3 X 3 to help divide the life areas equally. This modernized baguat is also powerful and has infinite applications.

The BTB Expanded Bagua grid is flexible enough to work in any room or property.

The BTB Bagua stretches itself for multiple use in modern-day homes. By super-imposing this bagua onto a room, desk, garden or your hand, you can enhance your fortune according to the teachings.

Each bagua incorporates a map of nine life areas; each area is assigned a colour, number, shape, season, body part and direction.

When these areas, the colours and attributes are gathered onto this mystical octagon, it can be very powerful.

 

On your feng shui journey, you may find conflicting messages about the bagua. Keep in mind, the concept behind each use remains the same. The bagua has an infinite number of uses all intended to help achieve balance and harmony and provide ultimate function, flow and abundance.

The ‘intention’ you have when you set a ‘cure’ will influence the outcome… for the Greater Good.
