Feng Shui for Dummies

25 February 2010 2 Comments

After running around town last weekend helping my sister find pebbles, red ribbon and mirrors to properly feng shui her office according to a $300/hr consult,  I decided some research on this new age bullshit ancient practice was in order.

Somehow, it seemed wrong to be taking advice on tradionational Chinese disciplines from a white lady in Palm Beach, FL on a Youtube video.

Thus far, I have learned that to optimize the energy (chi) flow throughout the home, a bagua (or 8 Regions) map is needed to identify each power center in relation to different aspects of every day life:

Sounds easy enough. I can totally be a high level feng shui master.

Step 1: Drafted a (crude) diagram of my main floor.  Turns out, each floor needs to be individually mapped out. What a huge pain the ass.

And by LIKE, I mean LIFE.  Too lazy to revise. Obviously, my “Life Mission” sector needs some sprucing up.

Step 2: Align bagua blueprint to home floorplan. A little spray paint here, a little there….

Look at that: My prosperity center is in the crapper! Wow, maybe this stuff really is true.

    Are you kidding? You mean that YOU could learn something and pass it on in your blog. But a “white lady in Palm Beach on a youtube video” was discredited?

    Knowledge is knowledge. And you are a superficial outsider. Good luck with your chi.
