How to Use Crystals in Feng Shui to Enhance Your Home's Energy

In Feng Shui, the ancient Chinese practice of harmonizing the environment, specific crystals are often used to enhance various aspects of life by aligning with different energies and elements. Feng Shui principles consider the properties and energies of crystals to balance and enhance the flow of Chi (energy) in living spaces. Here’s a breakdown of how crystals align with Feng Shui practices.

Feng Shui Bagua Map

The Bagua Map is a tool used in Feng Shui to map out different areas of life onto a physical space. Each area, or “gua,” is associated with specific elements, colors, and energies, and certain crystals can be used to enhance these areas.

If using this map to plan your home, orient the map with the formal architectural front door (not your side door). There are two ways to align the map to your home

Using the traditional compass method, the Bagua Map is aligned with the actual compass directions of the space. This means the north section of the Bagua Map corresponds to the literal north direction determined by a compass. Using the BTB School method, align the Bagua Map with the main entrance of your home, regardless of the actual compass directions. Use whichever method intuitively calls to you.
