This video goes over the eight trigrams and their medical and non-medical correspondences. This was made for my Fundamentals class but perhaps others are interested. Sources are mainly: 《說卦》 Shuō Guà and 《梅花易數》 Méihuā Yìshù.

Hello! Big fan of your lectures! Thank you for this lecture!! I am a Beijing Shuaijiao wrestler, and I am looking to study a bit of Baguazhang to strengthen my wrestling. Though not necessary to train in Baguazhang, I thought it would be fun to learn about the Bagua. The timing is super crazy. Thank you so much!!

Thanks! I really love to look at the underlying patterns of the early heaven and post heaven sequence in the ba gua, can you explain how the two sequences relate, and how that interrelates with medical theory?

Haha, cannot explain anything like that in a comment here. It is too broad a question. But basically, the two sequences are used for different things. Post-heaven is used for doing stuff in the real world, for example setting up a grave or house (fengshui). Pre-heaven is often used for talismans or things that are timeless. Of course, there are exceptions. The trigrams are like a deck of cards. Just like different card games have different rules, so do different uses of the trigrams. Sometimes pre-and post-heaven are superimposed on each other, but mostly each has ways it is used. and not both at the same time. In medicine, we would tend to favor post-heaven as disease happens within time and space.

Thank you that was a wonderful explanation. Its almost like the pre-heaven describes another dimension with slightly differ laws. Sometimes I wonder if referring to the pre-heaven sequence might be useful related to the Qi Jing Ba mai.

There are two methods that use time to select the opening points of the 8EV. These 8 points are associated with the 8 trigrams, but those two ancient methods use the post heaven order. I think seeing the 8EV as pre-heaven is more influenced by some modern teachers in the west, like Jeffrey Yuan. While of course chong and ren have some pre-heaven aspects, not all 8 do, if you read between the lines in the old books. For example, what do the qiao and wei vessels have to do with pre-heaven? Nothing in the old books.
