Part 4

Welcomes to part 4 of Ba Zhai Feng Shui tutorial, this session discuss Ba Zhai with an example. The two most common misconceptions about Ba Zhai Feng Shui will also be address.

Below is a diagram elaborating an example of Ba Zhai Feng Shui in practice, with the following configurations;

This is a Kun house facing NE and sitting SW.

The owner of the house is a lady name Judy born in the year of dog with a Ming Kua of 6.

Observations

The master bed room was located in the West and South West sectors of the house. Judging by the orientation of the master bedroom, I believe that the architect intended to have the bed install in the West sector with the headboard facing North and footboard facing south.

Base on Ba Zhai Feng Shui;
The bed is located in the Tian Yi (Divine Cures) sector.

Base on Xuan Kong Feng Shui on the location of the bed;
There are 2 timely stars 8 and 9, which support each other in the current period of 8. The timely and auspicious star no. 8 is the both the water and period star. There is one combination, 6 and 9, which is a minor setback for this setting.

This setup will enhance the health and wealth for the bedroom master. However, due to the combination of 6 and 9, it is not good Feng Shui to share the room between two male. If the room is occupied by a couple, then the 6 and 9 combinations should not be a big issue. The West sector is generally considered as a good spot for the master's bed.

Before we proceed further, there are some misconceptions on Ba Zhai Feng Shui that need to be address first. Refer to the below diagram.



Every property has 4 auspicious and 4 inauspicious locations base on the facing and seating directions of the property. Every individual also have 4 auspicious and 4 inauspicious directions based on their Ming Kua. The locations of the property and directions of an individual is two different issues not to be confuse. The orientations may or may not be the same, in the above example, it is different. You should sleep in the auspicious directions base on your personal Ming Kua. The second common misconception is that when we talk about the facing of the bed to an auspicious direction base on Ba Zhai. It is measure base on the headboard of the bed or where the head is facing. Refer to the below diagram. In the below example, the headboard is facing Liu Sha and not facing Jue Ming.



Okay now back to the Ba Zhai configurations of the house. We can see that Judy was sleeping in a good location but she is facing an inauspicious direction. (Sleeping with the head facing Liu Sha) We just tweak the bed a bit to face a new direction. (Note that there is always more then one auspicious direction and cures for any Feng Shui remedy) Refer to the diagram below.



Now, Judy is sleeping facing an auspicious direction. (Sleep with the head facing Sheng Qi) However, she is sleeping with her foot directly facing the door. This setting is the popular Feng Shui taboo, often name as the 'coffin' position. This is one of the worst settings in Feng Shui bed terminology. I personally don't think it is just a taboo as it actually make sense, cause I never feel comfortable with my foot exposed facing everything, not to mention the feeling of an up skirt. An alternate solution is to include a partition between the bedroom's door and the footboard of the bed. You can also sacrifice your master bedroom and switch into other room. I hope that I have delivered a message on how to DIY your property base on traditional Feng Shui. There are many alternate solutions which I have not mentioned. The bottom line is to be creative and comfortable with your arrangement and design. The next session will discuss the technique to harmonize the earlier trigram and later trigram in Ba Kua for Ba Zhai Feng Shui.
