A Feng shui mirror also acts as a cure to have them at posts and columns so that the flow of the energy inside a house or an establishment is corrected. The contention is that Feng shui mirrors placed in this manner works to deflect bad energy. The manner in which it is used in this way acts similar to the way a pain reliever does to the body. To appreciate the bagua better, imagine it as having eight points with nine quadrants. The topmost portion is divided into three zones namely (from left to right), the zone of wealth, reputation and partnership. The middle quadrants are family, taichi and creativity. The bottom quadrants represent zones for wisdom, career and helpful people. It may not come as a surprise then why the harmony, prosperity and well being of the occupants in the house will now be very much altered than what it was 20 years ago. When the particular period has elapsed, it could be a time you will have to re map, do another reading and realign your house to the changed direction of the energy that is flowing. These are only some of the most popular and common practices. To list them all here will already be far beyond the scope of this article as Feng shui practically covers all aspects of human living and interaction. However, suffice it to say that even when sometimes, Feng shui is shunned by those who are not oriented to it as mere superstition and mambo jumbo, the practice and application of Feng shui, has similarities and counterparts that is practiced by other cultures world wide.

This is still okay provided you place objects and decorations that coincide with what the bagua map require, but keep this kind of arrangement as a second option. There are eight compass points and each push an influence that is unique to each other. The points are The North, northeast, East, southeast, South, southwest, West and northwest. The portion of the house that faces north is the place where music room, symbols of your aspirations and career and everything that speaks of personal and growth and development are best represented and placed.
