bagua. Positioned as it is at the very center of the bagua, this section
influences all the others surrounding it. Put an agate at the heart of your
home or bedroom to stimulate your Health area. During this time, you might tell
the crystal that you want its stabilizing energy to help you find your center.
Contribute
to the Subject Area of Knowledge
The feng shui bagua has a
section dedicated to developing one's own set of abilities and expanding one's
horizons of knowledge. This region is referred to as Gen in Chinese. Activating
this region can help you learn something new or develop your spirituality.
If you were to stand at
your front door and look inside, the Knowledge area would be in the corner
immediately to your left. If your home isn't a perfect rectangular, you might
find it more convenient to look for the Knowledge area in your bedroom. An
agate placed here with the aim that it aid in one's personal development or the
development of one's abilities will activate this zone.
The
Agate Should Be Worn
Many people don't realize
that you may also use feng shui principles to enhance your personal appearance,
such as by placing your clothing and accessories in a more auspicious location.
Find a piece of agate jewelry you adore and wear it with intention to carry the
stone's balancing energy with you everywhere you go.
Balance
"Yin and Yang"
In feng shui, the two
types of energy are known as yin and yang, and they are diametrically opposed
to one another but mutually supportive. While yang is active and dynamic, yin
is calm and receptive. We all have yin and yang within us, but they don't
always work in harmony. Try meditating with an agate crystal or keeping one in
your bedroom to help bring balance to these opposing aspects of your
personality.
