Helpful People selflessly
provide support to others and show up at just the right time. They can be friends, neighbors, volunteers,
teachers, mentors and professionals. Helpful People can also show up as unseen
heavenly or angelic help that arrives at unexpected times and in unexpected
ways. If you are in business, your helpful people are your customers and
clients.
From a feng shui perspective, the front right corner
of your space is known as the Helpful
People and Travel gua (when you overlay a grid of nine blocks, like a
tic-tac-toe board over your home or any room in your home, your land, your
office, work place or wherever you are). If you travel a lot or you’d like to
travel more, enhance this area of your space.
This area represents a
gateway for philanthropy and random acts of kindness. Each of us is genuinely a
helpful person when we give to others and expect nothing in return. When we assist
others, help also returns to us in unseen and unexpected ways.
This is the most yang area of the bagua. It is
associated with males, the father and heaven. If the males need more support,
enhance this gua. Also enhance this area if you would like to be more helpful
to others or you would like to receive help from others in any area of your
life. This gua is also associated with the head and brain. If you suffer from
migraine headaches or any head or brain related problems, address this sector
of your space.
From a feng shui
perspective, the Helpful People and Travel gua is energized by the Metal
element. Metal energy is clear, focused and organized. When it is out of
balance (too much or too little) it can show up as anxiety and anguish, a lack
of focus or purpose, sloppy work or behavior, being overly sharp, critical or
judgmental and even being obsessive, sarcastic or aloof. Creating balance in
this area can bring focus to your life. Earth energy strengthens the area if
Metal is weak and Water energy dulls the sharp edges of overly strong Metal.
As in all areas of your
home, remove all clutter and fix everything that requires repair or
maintenance. Also work with this gua if you would like to:
·
have more close
friends or attract support from others
·
be more selfless,
supportive, generous and compassionate
·
be more
philanthropic
·
visit particular
places, travel internationally or on business
·
receive more
heavenly or spiritual support
·
experience more
synchronicity
·
complete
unfinished business with your father or authority figures
·
develop
leadership in yourself or others
·
have more
responsibility
·
eliminate
migraine headaches
·
omit problems
with your head, brain, skull, lungs or breathing
·
clear swelling, broken
bones, skin, heart or elimination disorders
The feng shui color for the
Helpful People area is gray. You can also use white, yellow and light colors or
any pastel shade and a little black. If your room is another color, enhance it
with these colors. This sector benefits from the placement of crystals,
gemstones and pictures or symbols of heavenly objects, spiritual guides and
helpers. It is a wonderful place to hang a picture of any male who represents a
helpful person or someone who can use more help in their life. Energize this
area by including circular shapes or round objects and items made from any
metal, such as a six-rod metal wind chime.
Enhance the Helpful People
of your space and you watch for results in your life.
