Meditation Spaces and Feng Shui

Feng Shui and Meditation Spaces

By Kartar Diamond

Just as someone may have a personal work-out gym in their own home, it is not unusual for a client to have or desire to have a meditation space. Sometimes the meditation space is informally put together and as simple as an altar in a room which has other functions (bedroom, living room, etc.) I have also seen clients dedicate an entire room, just for the purpose of meditation, yoga, or prayer.

There are no hard and fast rules regarding where to place an altar or where to meditate and sometimes practicality dictates, when people live in tiny apartments with little choice of where they can carve out that sacred spot. But the following are some guidelines, based on my experiences as well as some input from fellow Feng Shui practitioners:

~ Ideally you should meditate in your “Fu Bi” location and/or direction. This is your most restful, peaceful direction based on your birth date. As an example, a man born in 1951 would identify with southeast as his “Fu Bi” direction.

~ This Fu Bi direction is going to wind up in a particular room or area of your house that is unique to the orientation of your living space. Obviously, if it turns out to be your kitchen, then there need to be some alternatives, such as the Fu Bi sector within your bedroom.

~ If you have the type of career where it is important to be a spiritual inspiration to others, like a teacher, philosopher, or coach, then you may want to meditate in an area that contains the “4” Xun star energy of your house. Again, this will be in a location of your house specific to when it was built and its compass orientation. ***If you don’t know where the “4” energy shows up in your house, then by all means contact me for a consultation.

~ Another good area to meditate in your house is where the “8” Prosperity Star is. This is consistent with the advice I have received from Master Sang, Joseph Yu, and Gayle Atherton, that you absolutely do not want to meditate in a negative area of your house. Choose the most positive sectors and choose your goals.
