Much More Than Just Children

The Creativity and Children section of the Bagua in your home or office is not always about kids.

With or without children, this is the part of the house that can keep you creative, provide childlike fun, and energize your youthful energy.

For example, if you are an artist or an author, look to the Creative area of the Bagua to infuse some creative energy or get over that feeling of having writer’s block.

Even if you are a lawyer, look to this area to help you develop creative and winning arguments.

At the same time, this is an important area for many people looking to Feng Shui for the first time because it gets the creative juices flowing as they look at implementing Bagua Feng Shui.

It can be beneficial to improve upon this area even if you are having family relationship issues, career problems, money problems, or health issues to make creative improvements.

Additionally, I often find issues in this area when I consult with clients who have fertility issues. Even clients who have uncontrollable children seem to always have dangerous items here.

Please note that whether you are looking for solutions for children or if you want to simply infuse some creativity, the suggestions offered here are quite interchangeable.

Please also note that this area, like every other Gua, makes up an important part of the creative cycle of the entire Bagua. Don’t ignore the other areas of the Bagua.

Symbolize Your Desires

Symbols of children and creativity are quite important to this area of your home.

Whether you are looking to have children or are just trying to infuse some creativity in your life, this is a great spot for games, toys, those cute little baby shoes, etc.

When trying to have babies myself, I cut out pictures of a cute baby from a Pottery Barn catalog for my first son and another cute baby from a Children’s Place ad for my second son that I thought would look like products of me and my husband.

I added each to frames in this area of my home, as if they were children I already have. Wouldn’t you know, my sons look eerily similar to those babies in the advertisements.

I joke that I ordered a Pottery Barn baby.

Though ideal, these types of objects don’t have to be out in the open. In fact, you can have pictures pasted behind frames or board games in a cabinet in this area.

Ideal Colors

The most ideal Feng Shui color of the Children/Creativity Area is white.

It is important to make this area bright and fun.

White is the color of purity, like that of babies. With white, consider it a blank canvas with lots of area for you to create your own work of art.

White just doesn’t fit? Try some warm earth tones like warm yellows, terracotta, light salmon, or soft greens.

If you have a bathroom here, for instance, add white or yellow towels and curtains.

Round Shapes

The shapes for the Creativity and Children Area are rounded, circular, or spherical. Complementary shapes would be flat or square.

This is an ideal spot for a circular chair or square-framed pictures.

A board game of checkers accomplishes the round, flat, and square shapes while also providing a reminder of a children’s game, as mentioned above.

Good Elements

This Children & Creativity Area of the house is represented by the element of metal. Thus, you can use metal frames here for your paintings and pictures.

You can also decorate with weaker elements that won’t destroy the metal element, such as wood or earth.

Avoid Fire

The destructive element in the Creativity & Children Area is fire because fire melts metal. So, if you have a fireplace in this area, please do NOT put your children’s pictures on its mantle.

You shouldn’t put pictures of family or friends on top of the fireplace in any area of the house, but it is especially important here.

A fireplace or candles here will have the effect of draining energy from your children. Fire will also burn the creative energy out of you. The effect could be limiting to your success in school, life, work, and even your thoughts.

Obviously, moving a fireplace out of this area might be cost-prohibitive, so let’s talk about cures.

Place an equivalently-sized mirror or a picture of calm water above the fireplace to figuratively douse its effects. This will help to reduce the destructive cycle the fire will do to the Creativity part of your home.

Your Children

The ultimate symbol of children and creativity is an actual child.

In other words, if it works to have your child’s bedroom in the Children Area of your home, it is ideal to do so.

The same tips go as above, but also keep in mind that your children will reflect the energy and images around them.

While Tigger and Eeyore are cute, do you want your children to be aggressive (Tigger) or depressive (Eeyore)? Children will subconsciously emulate their surroundings.

Think of sleeping lambs or gentle bunnies if a calm child is what you are looking for.

My husband had to remind me to keep Calvin & Hobbes out of our children’s bedroom, though I find those cartoons hilarious.  As funny as they are, he is right – I don’t want my boys acting out like that!

Things to Avoid

There are some things that can be quite destructive to the Creativity and Children Area of your home and should thus be avoided.

We already spoke at great length about fireplaces, which sometimes can’t be avoided.

At the same time, you should avoid the color red, which is a symbol of fire, the destructive element of metal.

As they are also symbols of fire, objects that are triangular or pointy should also be avoided here.

Moreover, avoid colors like fire engine red, royal blue, or strong yellows, as they can make children or your mind quite restless.

Children’s wall decorations can be quite popular, but avoid those that would also be quite restless like rocket ships or race cars. That is, unless you want restless children or restless thoughts yourself. Now that I think about it, I wonder if Elon Musk had rocket ships and fast cars on his walls as a child.

While it is important to get creative, be careful not to lose any sleep! If you decide to go against my recommendations here, just know what you’re getting into!

Make it Positive

In closing, and as with any area of your home that you want to improve, create an energy in your surroundings that will be a positive influence on you to achieve what you are looking for.

In other words, ensure you have things here to remind you to be creative and that remind you of happy children.

I have noticed on consultations for those unsuccessfully trying to have children that they have toxic elements here, such as a fireplace or scenes of destruction or sadness.

The environment you create for yourself will be the environment in which you live, both in the home and out.

For those of you trying to have children: relax and enjoy the process after following the above guidelines (read: don’t stress!).  Try to have the same type of fun with the process as you did before you decided to have children. You and your partner will thank me for this advice!

For those of you trying to add some creativity, may your inner child flourish.
