Feng Shui Creativity and Finding Your Joy - especially in difficult times

“Creativity and Children: This position of the home is about limitless thinking. You know, like when you were a kid and thought anything was possible. It’s also about anything to do with the kids. So, to help you get back to that frame of mind, you can make sure the proper enhancements are in this right-hand, midway back part of your home. Come on, get creative!”

The Gua

Facing your home, apartment, or property at your front entrance – the Children and Creativity gua is in the middle section on the right. Click here to read more about how to lay the bagua map.

This gua is associated with the west direction, the element of Metal and the color white but also pastels. This section is wonderful for children and grandchildren as the energy is exuberant and joyful, generous and curious. Not only for children, the Children and Creativity gua is great for adults as well who are looking to bring more creative energy into their world – whether through play or joy or even birthing a project or an idea. Creative energy comes in many forms.
