How to Understand the Bagua in Feng Shui

Video Transcript

"This whole feng shui that I do is called Black Hat or BTB, which is short for the Tibetan Buddhist School. Black Hat, what does that mean? Thousands of years ago in Tibet there were different kinds of monks. There were the Black Hats, The Red Hats, The Yellow Hats, The White Hats. They all had their own version of feng shui, and how to use it. The Black Hats took what all the other schools were doing and said, we want this to work on a level that we don't necessarily have a grasp of in reality. We want it to work in a transcendental, spiritual level so that it will work even better, because there will be an unseen force working on it, as well. So what they did was put north at the bottom, and south at the top. That doesn't necessarily make any sense to us on a rational level, but they were hoping that by doing that and some other things, that this school of feng shui would be even more powerful. The way that you place the bagua, or use the bagua in this school of feng shui is all about the door. Wherever the door is in the room is all about career, or the bottom of the bagua is going to be. That is all you need to know to figure out where your life areas are in your home. So if you were standing in the doorway of a room, facing into the room, you would simply hold the bagua in front of you, like this. You would know that right where you were in the doorway was career, and that directly across from you was fame, and so on. So that is how you're going to figure out where the life areas are in each area of your home. Then you'll know, according to what's going on in your life, if you're going to need to make a change there in your home."
