Your Four Personal BEST Directions and Areas in a Room or House
The Meaning of Your 8 Lifetime Directions
Based on the time of your birth, your Kua Number (also called your Gau number or the Pau Kau number) reveals the four best energy areas in your environment that support your continued growth in success and happiness.
The Kua number also warns you of the four energies in your space that sap your strength and cause problems. It’s best to stay out of these four most disturbing energy areas, which can increase your stress and keep you feeling down. These best and worst energy areas are specific to your birth date and stay with you for life.
As you are learning how to use your personal feng shui energies (by simply spending more time in the four good ones and avoiding the four stressful ones), consider putting a sticky note on your walls to show where all eight directions are.
For more attractive feng shui, order the feng shui posters (a sample is shown below) which are already labeled with your compass direction and your purpose for that area and the physical element needed in that area. These posters are very helpful when you hang them in spaces where you spend a lot of time (like an office, classroom, or conference room).
Once you have them up, you are able to choose one of your four best seats in the room, with just a quick glance at the walls. These posters will keep you in your best directions and help you avoid the four dangerous ones.
Your goal is to always sit and sleep in your best areas because you are then tapping into supportive energy which gives you great benefits, such as an edge in your creativity, more influence over other people and a boost to your health.
Note: It’s most important to FIRST create a strong feng shui organized home, bedroom or work environment (clutter-reduced and color-coded with appropriate objects) BEFORE you use the secrets revealed here. So, check that each of your nine bagua areas is color coded and has at least one appropriate element object .
Your #1 Best Direction (which the Chinese call: Sheng Chi; or English translation: Life Chi Energy) is the East.
If you spend lots of time in the East it will bring you: personal wealth, great prosperity, success and respectability.
Your "Sheng Chi" is known as the Wealth and Success Area and Direction. This is the strongest, most supportive energy direction and location to spend time in. Try to enter your home through a door that is located in this area of your home.
Although you could certainly sleep with the top of your head pointing in this direction, it may be too much good energy and not calm enough to offer the most peaceful sleep. Use your health direction (below) instead.
You should face this direction when you are doing business with clients, customers or patients. Teachers and presenters should face this direction when lecturing, as well as, when conferencing with parents, students or clients.
When you work alone and need to concentrate, it’s very good to have your BACK toward this direction, because it props you up like a strong, comfy chair.
How To Decorate Your Wealth & Success Area and Direction: East
This fortunate area for you is in the east, which is energized by the color green; and tall, thin, upright, rectangular, wood objects and plants. The power number in this area is the number three.
Green wicker, wood and bamboo prosperity objects in groups of three would be a good way to make this energy stronger.
Since the water element nourishes wood, you can also use water objects (aquariums and water fountains), as well as water colors (dark blue and black) and glass prosperity objects that are curvy or wavy to build up the good energy here. Group objects into a set of three.
The metal element chops up wood and destroys this good energy, so please avoid the color white and keep shiny, metal things out of this area.
The color green matches the family energy of the east and so it is a strong east energizer. The poster below shows an image of an adult and a child (family) walking hand-in-hand outside in the green grass (wood element). Placing this image in the east will strengthen your personal feng shui direction for wealth and success. Then remember to spend lots of time near this poster.
