Applying the Bagua Map to Infant’s Rooms
The nine areas of the bagua map can be applied to any room in the house. When applying it to an infant’s room we soften the intentions, making them age appropriate with a loving influence. As you gently energize all areas of the room you encourage your baby to grow in a well balanced way. Keeping the room and closets clutter free and child safe is most important. Keep colors soft and the content of all pictures or art loving and positive. Most of the time your infant will be sleeping in this room so remember to keep the themes of toys, art and wallpaper non-moving and restful. If you have items you wish to display in the room think of the following suggestions:
Prosperity. Intentions here support a wealth of unconditional love for your baby. A good spot to put a special piggy bank.
Fame or recognition. Help your baby to feel recognized for who they are as individuals and family members by placing items representing firsts for them.
Relationships. Baby’s first relationships are with family. This could be where Mom and baby sit for feeding time.
Family. Place family photos here that were taken when everyone was happy or items that represent your culture that are warm, friendly and infant appropriate.
Health. Try to keep this area open so that chi can move freely. Remove obstacles to growing up strong and healthy.
Creativity. This would make an excellent play area. Store a small number of toys here that are favorites and rotate new toys in that are at the next challenging level.
Self knowledge. This area can display books or be arranged as a reading corner to foster an early love for learning.
Career. Your baby’s job is to learn about themselves and their world. Educational toys that are age appropriate and safe could be stored here.
Helpful People. Gifts from god-parents, babysitters or items from anyone with a special supportive role in your child’s growth and development could be placed here.
