Image of Floor Plan

This section will deal with making your floor plan and using the Ba-Gua to divide your plan into the definable Life Areas. Some people apply the Ba-Gua to the floor plan of their whole house or apartment, others apply it to each individual room. You can use either.

Make a simple floor plan and practice applying the Ba-Gua to it. If your house or apartment has a complicated design practice the following exercise on a simple square drawing then apply it to your house plan.

1. The front wall of your house or apartment contains your front door- draw a line on your plan running from left to right directly through the plane of the front door. This line assists you in placing the Ba Gua and it shows what parts of the structure are in front of the door.

2. Determine if your front door is in the right, center or left of your front wall when entering. The only three Life areas that can contain the front door are:

A. Helpful People Area- Right hand side of the front wall.
B. Career Area- Middle Front/Center
C. Knowledge Area- Left Hand Side

3. Draw the front three areas (named above) across the front line of the house.

4. Draw the rest of the floor plan placing the Ba-Gua on the plan adding the six other Life Areas.

The next lesson will be The Five Elements, their relationship to the Ba-Gua and the Life Areas. Practice using the Octagon and making your floor plan.
