Feng Shui consultant Sharon Vogt stirred some interest back in May within a workshop at the Women's Center. When Vogt works with clients in their homes, she utilizes an eight-sided tool, consisting of nine sections, called a bagua ("bog-wah").
Ancient Chinese utilized the bagua before constructing homes, to ensure proper placement within the natural environment. A transparency of the bagua is placed over pre-sketched floor plans.Each of the nine sections of the bagua has a most powerful characteristic, element, body part, and color.
For example; the "Fame" section represents the element fire, the body part eye, and the color red. Without going into so much detail, the remaining eight sections are: "Relationships/Marriage/Mother, Children/Creativity/Future, Helpful People/Travel/Father, Career, Knowledge/Spirituality, Family/Past, Wealth," and "Earth."
In modern America, houses are mass produced and laid out in sub-divisions with little consideration for said environment. Nonetheless, there are "cures" for most problems haphazard construction may cause, including the use of water, crystals, live plants, mirrors, and even color.The application of cures and techniques, then, would tend to vary, depending on the home's main entrance and how energy flows within each room.
ogt might interview her client regarding what area(s) of their life may need new or changed energy. There may be health issues within the household – a result of stagnate energy. Then, the work would begin, focused on that section of the home and resulting in the implementation of the proper cures: Elements, colors, placement, intentions, etc.
With all that in mind, zoom out!The accompanying image puts a map of Abita Springs underneath a transparent bagua. Might this ancient tool explain why the energy here feels so good? Water being a Feng Shui cure, maybe it's no mistake the area is known for its "healing waters."
With this evidence, let's explore that theory because-- admit it-- some towns and places can give off pretty bad vibrations. Yet, here, it appears that the Women's Center for Healing and Transformation falls, appropriately, into the "Knowledge/Spirituality" section. A school, the Trailhead, Park, and history Museum, are in the "Family/Past" section. Abita Brewery and other businesses are in the "Wealth" section. Most of the residential areas are in the "Relationships/Marriage/Mother" section.Another school and the ball parks are in the "Children/Creativity/Future" section. The Trace, heading out toward Mandeville is in the "Travel" section. What's left? Oh, "Fame!" Do you know of anyone famous living in the northern section of Town?"Career" is the southern section, and I've heard it said that Abita Springs keeps its small town flavor by not allowing itself to get too big. It is what it is, and it feels just right, because of the positive energy flowing from the people and the environment.
Within the center section, the "Earth," sits Town Hall. Throw in a cemetery, and it doesn't get earthier than that.You know, maybe there is something to this ancient art and science of placement, energy flow, and intentions. It would be interesting, now, to consider the entire State under the bagua.
