Magna Inspirante covers many topics with focus on life and well being. Some of the topics are listed below. Please explore the list:

Astrology

Western astrology (12 zodiac signs) as well as eastern astrology (e.g. 9 star ki and the Chinese animals).

Ayurveda

Ayurveda is a very old system of natural healing and treatment that has its origins in the Vedic culture of India. Traditional Chinese Medicine has it’s roots in Ayurveda.

Ayurveda ‘life-knowledge’ reminds us that health is the balanced and dynamic integration between our environment, body, mind, and spirit.

Recognizing that human beings are part of nature, Ayurveda describes three fundamental energies that govern our inner and outer environments. Known as Vata (Wind), Pitta (Fire), and Kapha (Earth). These energies are responsible for the characteristics of our mind and body. Each of us has a unique proportion of the three forces that shapes our nature and can be used to analyze imbalances and heal us.

Bagua

The Bagua is a flexible template which can be laid over the plans of your home to show which areas of your home relate to the different aspects of your life. The Bagua is divided into 9 areas including the centre (Tai Chi) where all the 8 different directions (energies) meet. The centre is also known as the Tao or Dao. See this.

Balance

Balance is not only walking on a line.

Speaking about lifestyle more things come in to play to keep a harmonious balance of yin & yang (dark/light, silence/activity etc.).

Also the five elements (water, metal, earth, fire, tree) are pieces in the puzzle. The center of the Bagua, Tao or Dao represents ‘the now’ and the perfect balance.

Breathing

Naturally, breathing is very important to stay alive.

For most people though breathing can be practiced more consciously. Some people have the habit of holding their breath when they concentrate. If you only use your breath with short breaths you can benefit from taking more deep breaths in your stomach as well.

Breathing and meditation connecting to your inner light and higher self.

Environment

The influence from our surroundings is sometimes overlooked. Some important factors to consider are:
1. Light – the sun and the light are very important for our well being, our moods and our health in general.
2. Green plants – with living plants you can create balance e.g. in a room.
3. Colours – colours are a manifestation of light and energy. Different colours have different meanings.
4. Shape (e.g. sharp corners or round soft corners on a table make a difference).
5. Symbolism – symbols that we choose to surround ourselves with e.g. in artwork mirror what’s going on in our thoughts and lives.
6. Predessor chi (energy/vibrations) from the owner before you.
7. Electromagnetic fields (EMF) from electrical appliances and Geopathic stress (GS) from the earth.
8. Materials – many materials are not healthy for us and create pollution.
9. Interior design – wherever you live, in town or the country, you can arrange for your immediate environment so that you receive maximum support and nourishment by your home or workplace.
10. Clutter – clutter does not really do you any good if you want to create a supporting environment for your health, happiness, vitality and creativity.
11. Architecture (e.g. buildings, gardens) – very often modern buildings and architecture are harmful to our well being.
12, The landscape – how buildings are situated in the landscape matters. Also the placement of furniture in a room matters. As a general rule you need protection from behind either the landscape or perhaps a wall when you are inside.
13. Sound and smell influence us. Music for instance can change the atmosphere. As Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart said: ‘If music is food for love, play it all.’

Exercise

Life is movement and we all need to do some exercise every day. Most people walk but you can run, swim, practice Qi Gong, yoga or something else.

Find out what suits you and do some exercise every day.

I Ching 

The eight trigrams are fundamental building blocks that form the sixty-four hexagrams of the I Ching (Book of Changes) one of the most important books in world history.

A trigram is a three-tier combination of solid (yang) and broken (yin) lines, and the eight trigrams thus formed are said to symbolise different phenomena in the universe. Each trigram is associated with a series of correspondences, including an archetypical family member.

The I Ching is a book of divination and a book of wisdom, with instruction provided for sixty-four hexagrams, these sixty-four hexagrams being made up of every possible combination of the eight trigrams.

There are two circular arrangements of the eight trigrams known as the Former Heaven Sequence and the Later Heaven Sequence.

The Former Heaven Sequence represents an ideal reality, where all eight trigrams are in their natural order and balanced by their counterparts, heaven above, earth below etc. The Former Heaven Sequence is usually found on talismans and mirrors designed to ward off ’bad energy’.

The Later Heaven Sequence is the practical application of the trigrams to the reality of a universe that is not ideal, and is moving, transforming, and interacting.
The Later Heaven Sequence of trigrams forms the basis of the Feng Shui Bagua.
