TIP OF THE MONTH
Lucky in Love
Last
month we discussed activating the fame sector of the Ba-Gua, enhancing
personal fame. By adding lights in this sector, one's fame and recognition
could be "illuminated." This month, we will discuss activating the love
and marriage sector. The advice applies to sustaining a love relationship
or help to potentialize one.
The romance sector is in the Southwest sector of the room. The foundation
element in this sector is Earth, which is created by the element of
Fire. Therefore it is said that the flame of Fire ignites its relationship
to Earth. The keyword to remember in this sector is pair.
The
symbolism of a pair is analogous of two people in a relationship. This
is especially important to maintain good relationship Chi. If more than
two symbols of the relationship are present in this sector, it can lead
to potentializing other relationships that would otherwise be detrimental
to the sustenance of the primary relationship.
The principles of potentializing a new relationship and sustaining a
current love relationship are very similar. Keep a pair of red hearts
in this sector. Red candles are also recommended. The Chinese character
of "double happiness" is good for this sector. Primarily representing
marriage, the double happiness character is often displayed at weddings.
It is often in gold to symbolize a wealth of love. Almost anything can
be used in a pair to represent the love relationship. Try to avoid using
sharp objects in this sector because the sharp edges of the objects
may prick or cut the relationship before it is even realized.
The foundation color of the Southwest sector is yellow. Use this color
in a southwest room or in the southwest corner of a room. Yellow color
in the home furnishings or decorative pieces can help to sustain the
relationship. This differs from potentializing the relationship because
yellow is representative of Earth and foundation. The color red, represented
by the element of Fire is good for potentializing a relationship. Use
this color to enhance the flow of Chi and "ignite" a relationship.
When enhancing any sector of the Ba-Gua in your life, it's just as important
to retain balance in the sectors that you wish to enhance. Attempts
to enhance many sectors of the Ba-Gua can lead to chaos and thus lose
what already can not be controlled. Focus on one or two sectors at a
time. By following this methodology, you can be assured that you are
concentrating on the results of your efforts and not take for granted
the potentializing power.
