Within schools of Feng Shui, some highlight and blend the qualities of collaboration very nicely. (Feng Shui is The Ancient Asian Art of Placement. There are about a dozen different main schools with adaptations within them around the world.)
Some Feng Shui schools are more linear or left-brain focused. Others bring into play right-brain qualities of intuition, creativity, emotions and spirituality. This article focuses on right-brain focused schools with their deep, powerful Higher Power connection.
Relationships and Partnerships
Look up “collaboration” in a thesaurus and you’ll find the synonyms: teamwork, partnership, alliance, relationship and cooperation. The dictionary says: “a working together.”
Feng Shui schools using the Ba-Gua Map actually have an area known as the “Relationship or Partnership” corner. It is located in the back right corner of a home, office or business when you divide the space into thirds both directions. Hence, the space is segmented into a three by three form, be it a square or rectangle. This results in nine smaller, yet equal, squares or rectangular shapes or areas.
An Alliance with Source or Higher Power
Whether you use the word relationship, partnership, alliance or collaboration, each refers to the connection between people working together toward a common goal. Couples work together in marriages. Realtors collaborate with buyers, sellers, lenders and title companies to transfer a building’s ownership.
This “partnership” corner is tucked in back – away from the front of the building – to protect and nurture qualities needed for the most powerful collaborations. These qualities are connections to: 1) your inner child, 2) nurturing mother and 3) Higher Power.
Honor this area and its qualities by cleaning, organizing and beautifying to achieve the main Feng Shui collaboration principle:
“Let your Light shine, work together and focus on the highest good for Mother Earth and humankind.”
