Welcome 2007

      Interesting take on this Bagua illustrated with pictures    This is a blurred image of the Bagua, but you get the picture. Each area has rules for certain colors and elements. Imagine this is the layout of your home. The Health and Balance area is in the Center. Map out your floor plan and find out where the center of your home is. If you have a scaled plan of your home, even better, but if not, estimate. From my front door, the center of my apartment is on the left wall of my living room. It leads into the hallway.
 
The center of the home is very important, because it affects all of the other areas in the Bagua, so whatever area you want to improve in your life, you must clean up this area first. <--Good info to know! I can see now that getting sick was no accident. It was an insight that helped to see where I need to start.  I had a fever, headache, congestion, and a runny nose for about four days now, and to top it off, my hair is a mess and I look awful. LMAO
 
th_yellow.jpg  The color of the Health area  is yellow and the element is earth. That means that something yellow needs to go here. Boy, was it hard to find something yellow in my apartment! And then, I remembered the card that the kids from my previous school gave me at the end of the school year. The kids wrote all over it and signed their names and left comments. The card is yellow and ithas a yellow sunflower on it, so I framed it and cleared the area beneath it. What element is plastic?! The card is made of paper. Is paper wood or earth? The advice is to add a crystal to this room so the colors of the crystal can reflect into the room. I will need to see where I can buy a crystal.
 
   Also, the South area is about Fame and Reputation. It is an important section for me, because my career reputation is important. In my apartment, the South area is hidden behind the closets. The Fame area asks for red. I took the Accolade poster in my bedroom and taped it on the outside of the closet door.  I know it doesn't have a frame, but I live in an apartment, which means I cannot put holes on the door. I don't know if it was a good idea to use the end of the hall as the fame part (because it is in the closet), but this is a trial and error journal. I am thinking of putting something red in the closet, too, but I haven't gotten that far yet.  Remember this is only a test. You can try this at home. =.)
 
I cleaned out the Fame area and covered the filing cabinet with a white throw, because the cabinet is a black metal cabinet, and you are not supposed to have black or metal there. I put a large statue of St. Michael on top of the cabinet, because he is wearing a red cape. I added a couple of columns, a small candle and a small lamp, because this area is always dark.  Something sharp is good here. The poster and the statue both carry swords, so I think I have sharps covered. I was thinking about putting my degree here, but the frame I have is black. 
 
I hope the things I moved today will help, especially with my health, and I am worried because I am running out of time to get my paperwork done.
 
This morning when I woke up, the first thing I noticed when I opened the door was the color yellow, and then, I remembered those kids in Mrs. Chavez 2nd period class. It was like a breath of fresh sunshine to start my day!
 
I know this is not elegant decorating, but I have to work with what I have.
 
I like to look at my Fame area, because it looks so clean. The painting represents my quest for honor, service, discipline, and strength. The knight is just an added bonus of the knight I would like to meet who will serve the same quests.
 
It will be nice to have the whole house clean one day and to have a balanced life instead of having to work so hard all the time. It would be nice to feel healthy again. It would be nice to not have to worry about money. It would be able to just sit down and relax. It would be nice to have a little spice of romance in my life.  Oh, yes, it would be nice...  =.)
