“You can’t use up creativity. The more you use, the more you have.”
– Maya Angelou
As long as you live you’ll never stop dreaming. So when you realize your home is the foundation for your joy it becomes fertile ground upon which your imagination can create your dream career, your dream partner, your dream vacation or whatever you are dreaming in right now. In BSTB Feng Shui it begins with the Bagua (Template of Life). It’s the most complete guide to revitalizing a home and activating one’s dreams. If you were to craft a room with color, texture, sound or smell or a combination of these using the Feng Shui principles of design and intention, you would find it invokes your imagination. As your home becomes harmonized you are stimulated by an awakening to possibilities; you harmonize with what you desire and this broadens the spectrum of what you can foresee and magnetize.
“The more detail and clarity you bring to your dreams, the more you will be able to attract what you want.” The form and intent of the Bagua is that it is a platform upon which you create something new, to accelerate your aliveness, growth and realize your purpose. As you activate creativity in one or each gua you tap into the energy of abundance and from that frequency you manifest.
My offering this month is imagine, create, design then receive your dreams and more!
Heaven/Helpful People
Not feeling inspired? Want more time to invest in the pursuits that make you feel alive and abundant? The Helpful People gua, represented by Heaven in the I-Ching is the gua of the Creative Principle. Heaven seeds Earth to create the abundance we see all around. Expand time with an adjustment.
Cure: Place a clock with hands and face to amplify time (to do what you love).
Career
Lacking motivation in your job? Do you daydream at your desk? It might be time to reexamine your goals to alter your belief that you can do what you love and make money at it too. Open your mind to the deep waters of your purpose with an adjustment.
Cure: Activate your intuition with the sounds of a water fountain.
Knowledge
Love to journal, doodle in the margins, play with words? Does it appeal to you to turn this into something that is more than a hobby? Visualize a mountain and each step is taking you to your dream. Reinforce your creativity with an adjustment.
Cure: Hang a wind chime to ring in writing a book.
Family
Feeling uprooted? Unable to direct your attention on that dream that keeps whispering in your ear, nudging you to start? Focus your energy like thunder that strikes the ground.
Cure: Place a windmill to get a new project started.
Wealth
Can’t make out what your inner guides are saying? Didn’t know you have inner guides? Feeling a bit anxious? The Wealth gua is represented by the Wind in the I-Ching. Our words, the words of our loved ones and our guides ride on the wind. Feel the wind support your higher good with an adjustment.
Cure: Hang a rainbow banner to catch the winds of good fortune.
Fame
Having trouble putting your heart into what you do? Feeling disappointment when something doesn’t turn out? Wishful thinking occupying your thoughts? Tap into your artistry. Let your heart pump happiness with an adjustment that takes you right into the present moment.
Cure: Install a bright light to illuminate your genius.
Relationship
Feeling ungrounded? Or stuck in the mud? Trying to do too much for everyone else and forgetting your needs? Imagine trees laden with ripe fruit on an August day with an adjustment that nourishes your soul connection.
Cure: Place a container of seasonal flowers to remind you of the joy of receptivity.
Children
Wonder if creativity bypassed your DNA? Having trouble being spontaneous? When was the last time you had a play date that felt meaningful? In the I-Ching this area is call The Joyous Lake. Drink in refreshment like dipping your toe into cool water on a hot summer day when you make an adjustment.
Cure: Hang a round mirror to remind you to be true to yourself and remember your bliss lies within.
Center
The center represents the Eight Trigrams and the Ten Directions. It covers the ten thousand things. When your life is in transition and you cannot quite grab ahold of your destiny, make an adjustment here to set things straight. The shape of the Chinese coin represents Heaven and Earth, Yin and Yang, The Tao of Creation. Place one here to hold the center together.
