Exploring the Health and Family Gua
Let's start with a topic that often troubles my clients - the Health and Family gua. This gua is closely connected to our family, including blood relatives and close friends. It particularly emphasizes the wisdom and support of our elders, which acts as a foundation for moving forward in our lives. Good health is also intertwined with this gua, as it plays a vital role in our overall well-being.
Define Your Aspirations for Health and Family
The Health and Family gua comes into play when:
- Someone in your household is facing a serious health challenge, especially related to the feet, liver, muscles, or joints.
- You are dealing with an emotional test linked to a family secret or childhood issue.
- You seek to enhance your general health, athletic performance, or are preparing for surgery.
- Traditional medical treatments have proven ineffective for a health concern.
- Relations with extended family or close friends need revitalizing.
- The eldest son in the household requires extra support.
- You desire to tap into your inner resources and family background more fully.
- You seek guidance on your life's direction.
- You wish for additional support to pursue a long-held dream.
Identifying Feng Shui Concerns
When facing challenges or imbalances in life, Feng Shui can provide valuable insights by examining your home or workplace for environmental factors that may be influencing the situation. While this list is far from exhaustive, here are a few areas to consider improving:
- Spaces that have become Junk Rooms: These represent the stagnant energy of certain aspects of your life. If this cluttered area falls within the Health and Family gua, it fails to align with the concepts of health and familial harmony that we all desire. Clean and organize this area promptly.
Spaces that have become Junk Rooms
- Unused medical equipment or illness-related items
- A portion or the entire gua lying outside the interior of the home
- Maintenance issues with house systems: Plumbing, HVAC, etc.
- Open or clogged drains in bathrooms, kitchen, laundry, etc.
- An abundance of metal items or the colors white or gray
- Presence of a fireplace, wood stove, or any fire burner
- Excessive use of red, orange, or hot pink colors
- Lack of wood, plants, or the colors green and blue in a room. Add these elements.
- Unhealthy or dead plants, trees, or pets
- Overhead beams
- Bed not in the Power Position
- Closed-off, unused, or clutter-filled rooms
Clearing Clutter for Health and Family
While maintaining a clutter-free home is always ideal, pay particular attention to clutter connected to your health, family, or close friends. Remove these items as soon as possible:
- Old or outdated medicine and medical equipment
- Accumulated medical bills or unnecessary paperwork
- Family photos associated with unwanted memories
- Excessive family photos or deteriorated ones
- Personal items from departed loved ones that no longer serve a purpose
- Dusty silk plants or withered flowers
Enhancing Health and Family with Feng Shui
To infuse positive energy into the Health and Family gua, deliberately place items that symbolize your hopes and dreams for this area of your life. By setting clear intentions and focusing on the specific health and family outcomes you desire, you can shift the energy within your space to support these goals. Consider incorporating the following enhancements:
Feng Shui Enhancements for the Health & Family gua
- Wooden items: floors, furniture, accessories
- Healthy plants: including cut flowers
- Colors: green and blue tones
- Shapes: columns, stripes, tall "trunk-like" shapes
- Materials: wood, sticks, straw, plants, silk flowers, dried flowers, driftwood, linen, cotton
- Books: health-related information, athletic improvement, genealogy, family history
- Accessories: made of wood or depicting plants, trees, or positive health and family ties
- Art or sculpture: representing nature, plants, strong family ties, or depicting health, predominantly in blue and green colors
- An affirmation: expressing your highest goal for the health and family area
Did you spot the various enhancements in the photo above? They include a healthy plant, a flower pot with a floral pattern and blue color, a wooden chair with column-like spindles and legs, a wooden floor, a bright blue sideboard, and a lamp with a blue hue.
Feng Shui Consultation Highlights: Medical Equipment
Preserved medical equipment
Some people hold onto various types of medical equipment, whether out of necessity or as a precautionary measure. However, these items can unintentionally shape our intentions and energy within our homes. To foster a vibrant and healthy atmosphere, I always recommend removing any medical equipment that is no longer needed.
A Final Word from the Feng Shui Consultant
