Is it about 4 good directions?

With reference to my earlier article, "Learning Feng Shui", where i mentioned that we only need to adjust the work desk to see results instead of placing items on the work desk, someone asks me if it was about facing one of the four good directions, aka, 8-Mansion Feng Shui, aka Ba Zhai?

Unfortunately, it is not about facing any of the good directions related to Ba Zhai. Any directions can be a good direction. It depends on your environment and location.

What is known in the market about Ba Zhai is that it has 4 auspicious and 4 in-auspicious directions. We are all encouraged to face one of the 4 auspicious directions, depending on what type of energy we want to tap on. For example, if you are looking to create more opportunities to improve wealth and reputation, you should sleep or sit facing your Sheng Qi (Life Generating) direction.

In the so-called advanced Ba Zhai, in each of the 8 directions, it has sub-directions and they include good and bad directions. This is to say that even in one of the good directions, it has bad Qi direction that you may face as well.

If only life is that simple, everyone on this planet earth just needs to ensure we face our good directions and there will be no poverty, hunger, war, discrimination, etc. People on earth will be a happy camper with no worries.

Is this possible?

Ba Zhai has it uses and it is not what is being taught to the general public today. The main-stream Ba Zhai is at best "safety feng shui" and to provide positive thinking for people who needs it. This is to say that one need not go over-board to change everything at home or office. Husband and wife need not sleep in different rooms. A couple need not sleep smelling each other's feet when sleeping on the same bed because each one belongs to a different group.
