The 8 Baguas

Return to Simplicity & Follow Your True Nature

Daoist Energy Centres

The 8 Baguas represent the fundamental forces of nature and the universe. Each energy centre corresponds to an element, an organ, a season, a direction, and a life theme. Understanding which centres are strong and which are vacant in your personal matrix is the foundation of an I-Ching reading.
