Greetings,
These are some tips/remedies for questions I have received:
If the wealth corner of your home (the far-left corner from the entrance, according to the Feng Shui Bagua map) falls in the bathroom, there are some effective remedies to help balance and uplift the energy, as bathrooms are often associated with “draining” energy.
Practical Feng Shui Remedies:
Introduce Wealth Symbols: Place items that represent wealth and abundance in the bathroom. A small crystal, a green plant (like bamboo or jade), or even a small bowl of stones can symbolically ground wealth energy.
Use the Color Purple or Green: These colors are associated with prosperity. You can introduce them in small ways, like with a purple towel, bath mat, or green accents to activate wealth energy without overwhelming the space.
Add a Mirror on the Bathroom Door: This can symbolically “push back” the bathroom from the wealth area. Mirrors also have the effect of expanding energy, and when placed correctly, can help deflect the “drain” of wealth energy.
Keep the Toilet Lid Down and Doors Closed: To prevent wealth energy from “flushing away,” keep the toilet lid down when not in use and ensure the bathroom door remains closed.
Enhance Earth Elements: Adding earth elements, like ceramic, stone, or earthenware, stabilizes energy and helps absorb the draining effect of water. Small stones or natural earth-colored tiles can subtly reinforce this.
Introduce Symbols of Growth: Plants or natural items that represent life and growth are great for this area. If a live plant isn’t possible, try a high-quality silk plant or an image of lush greenery.
These simple adjustments can help counterbalance the energy of a bathroom in the wealth corner, allowing the area to support prosperity rather than drain it. Let me know if you'd like more tips or advice!

Yes, balconies can be included in the Bagua map layout, as they are still part of the home’s footprint and influence the overall energy flow. Including them is especially beneficial because they represent a connection between the interior of your home and the outside world, bringing in light and fresh air.
Here’s how to apply the Bagua map to a balcony effectively:
Determine the Position: Extend the Bagua map over the entire floor plan, including the balcony, so it aligns with the rest of the layout. The area of the Bagua that falls over the balcony will indicate which life area it influences (e.g., Wealth, Relationships).
Enhance with Intentional Decor: Use Feng Shui cures specific to that Bagua area. For example:
Wealth: Add a small plant, a water feature, or purple accents.
Relationships: Use pairs of objects (e.g., two chairs, flowerpots) to symbolize harmony.
Career: Opt for flowing elements like a wind chime or a blue mat.
Balance the Energy: Since balconies are external and open, they can be vulnerable to dispersing energy. Adding plants, small furniture, or natural elements helps “anchor” the area and attract good Chi.
Keep it Clean and Tidy: As with any area in Feng Shui, cleanliness and maintenance are key to keeping positive energy circulating.
Including balconies in the Bagua map enriches the flow of energy in your home and helps create a harmonious connection with the environment around you. Let me know if you need specific recommendations for a particular Bagua area!
