🏠 Life Area Enhancements: Unlock Your Space’s Hidden Powers
The Magic House Story
Imagine your home is like a magic garden. Different corners grow different kinds of flowers. One corner grows love flowers. Another grows money flowers. Another grows health flowers.
Feng Shui teaches us how to water each corner so the flowers bloom!
Your home has invisible rivers of energy called “Chi” (say: CHEE). When these rivers flow nicely, good things happen. When they get stuck, life feels harder.
Today, we’ll learn how to make six special corners of your space bloom with happiness!
🗺️ The Bagua Map: Your Treasure Map
Before we start, imagine standing at your front door looking inside. Your home divides into sections like a tic-tac-toe board:
