Feng Shui Lesson 2: Mapping Energy with the Bagua
In this second class with Jessie Kim (Ms. Feng Shui), the focus turns to one of Feng Shui’s most essential tools: the bagua map. This lesson is an energetic deep dive into how the layout of your home mirrors key areas of your life—such as career, health, relationships, and prosperity—and how each space can be thoughtfully aligned for greater harmony and flow.
What You’ll Explore
- The Bagua Map and Life Zones
Jessie introduces the bagua as a nine-grid overlay you place over your floor plan, with each zone representing a life area like Family, Wealth, Reputation, or Health. She explains how to determine your home’s entry point and align the map accordingly—an important first step to ensure you’re tapping into the right energetic zones. - Dominant Elements in Each Zone
Each section of the bagua is associated with one of the Five Elements—wood, fire, earth, metal, or water. Jessie walks you through the qualities of each element and how to use colors, shapes, and materials to enhance or balance their presence in your home. For example, the Wealth corner benefits from healthy wood energy (like plants or vertical lines), while the Helpful People zone draws strength from metal elements and round shapes. - Color, Shape, and Symbolic Enhancements
You’ll learn not just what each element means, but how to enhance it through color (e.g., reds for fire, greens for wood), shape (triangles, waves, circles), and even symbolic imagery. Jessie emphasizes the power of intentionality: the energy you place behind these design choices carries meaning. - Real-Life Examples and Common Misalignments
Throughout the lesson, Jessie shares relatable examples of how homes may unknowingly neglect certain life areas—such as missing corners, cluttered entryways, or incompatible decor. She gives gentle, practical ideas for adjustments without overwhelming or demanding perfection. - Why Small Changes Matter
Even if you can’t renovate or make major shifts, Jessie’s approach empowers you to work with what you have. A mirror, a plant, a simple object placed with intention—these can begin to redirect qi and strengthen life areas that feel stuck.
Your Home as a Life Map
By the end of this lesson, you begin to see your home as a mirror of your life—and the bagua as a gentle guide for reflection and transformation. This is not just about rearranging furniture. It’s about awakening your space as a co-creator of health, relationships, prosperity, and peace.
This class makes ancient wisdom accessible, even if you’re just starting out. Jessie’s calm, clear teaching style gives you the confidence to begin noticing, mapping, and shifting the energy in your environment.
