AR UNIVERSITY
Every now and then when I have the time to sit down to read a few of my peers blogs make me realize I have been missing a lot of lessons here in ActiveRain ! or as I refer to it " AR UNIVERSITY" . Here is where I get the scoop on what green is and how important it is to know about it. Every day more buyers are savvy about these things and they want to use green products in their homes. I just learned that theres a recycled glass top named Vetrazzo which looks to the old terrazo counter or floorings. I grew up with terrazo floors. The vetrazzo come in so many different colors and I absolutely adore these!
Ok so I have heard the word before "bagua" but do I even know what it means. NO !
Thank God for Carole Provenzale and her Feng-Shui New York blog that talked about it in her last blog. So I went to Wikipedia to find out a bit more and this is what I got
The Ba gua (Chinese: 八卦; pinyin: bā guà; Wade-Giles: pa kua; literally "eight symbols") are eight diagrams used in Taoist cosmology to represent a range of interrelated concepts. Each consists of three lines, each either "broken" or "unbroken," representing a yin line or a yang line, respectively. Due to their tripartite structure, they are often referred to as "trigrams" in English.
The trigrams are related to Taiji philosophy and the Wu Xing. The ancient Chinese classic I Ching consists of the 64 pairs of trigrams (called "hexagrams") and commentary on them. The interrelationships among the trigrams are represented in two arrangements, the Primordial (先天八卦), "Earlier Heaven" or "Fuxi" bagua (伏羲八卦), and the Manifested (後天八卦), "Later Heaven," or "King Wen" bagua. The trigrams have correspondences in astronomy, astrology, geography, geomancy, anatomy, the family, and elsewhere.
The eight trigrams are: Qian 天, "Heaven;" Xun 風, "Wind;" Kan 水, "Water;" Gen 山, "Mountain;" Kun 地, "Earth," Zhen 雷 "Thunder," Li火, "Fire;" and Dui 泽, "Lake."
The five elements of feng shui are air, fire, earth, wood, and water.
So as you see I cannot stay too far from the AR U, because you learn something new everyday that could enhance, yourself, your business and your client's knowledge !
