Word of Advice

The word associated with the feng shui skills/knowledge area is “stillness.” Stillness is required to tap into your inner wisdom and personal strength. There is a strong link between a calm mind and an intelligent mind.

Enhance this area of the bagua map if you would like to: make better decisions; learn a new subject; feel more peace of mind; be more creative; be a better business person; attract opportunities, situations, and people to help in all areas of your life; tap into your inner wisdom; find your inner strength or have better relationships.

Generally, enhancements for the skills and knowledge area of the feng shui bagua include images and symbols of wisdom, wise people and mentors, and mountains. Images of mountains are especially relevant since they are the ultimate symbol of resourcefulness and stillness. You can also include anything representing the earth element, material being studied, and anything else that represents the pursuit of wisdom.

How do you know if you need to address your feng shui skills and knowledge area? Signs of imbalance include: no spiritual center; you can’t or won’t spend time alone; you are having problems in school or difficulty learning a new subject; or you have frenzied and chaotic thinking.
