Feng Shui Setup or Spiritual Help which is the Priority?

Received a call from a long time client about 3 weeks ago. He told me that he is now experiencing hard times. He have just moved the 4th times to an office. His first and 2nd office was audited by me. Currently his business also cannot make enough to pay for his staff salary. He has no where to turn to except trying his luck to ask for my help.

When I audited his business office, he made decent profit and business was growing. That was the condition he was in when I last met him. He did not engage me on his 3rd time moving, and to me that was normal because maybe he finds that luck was on his side and my services was not needed anymore.

I have decided to helped him out due to his past standing as good client. He told me he cannot afford to pay my fees however he will be willing to pay me once he is stable again.
Cleared my appointment on the nearest availability and decided to audit his place as fast as possible.

When I arrived on to audit his current office, the first thing I noticed was there was quite a number of Taoist spiritual implements inside his office. I checked the site with my Loupan and discovered that the front door location and direction is actually not bad for his type of business.

However once inside, all the Feng Shui setup was wrong. From his sitting location, his staff sitting location, enhancing the qi for the type of business plus even the water exits within is all not conducive for his business.

No wonder he is in such a mess.  His personal space within the office has a lot of Taoist spiritual implements from sword to flags to even ancient chinese coins below the desk and a whole lot more.

I advised him to relocate those spiritual items, consolidate some of it while others that cannot be use to be place in storage. He looked at me with a puzzling look. I am not surprised, because in all those years of him knowing me and conducted 2 audits for his office, never once did I mentioned to him about using spiritual implements nor about my Taoist background.

Seeing his puzzling look, I knew if I did not elaborate on my Taoist background he was not going to remove those items. I continue to explained to him that one of the talisman which he painstakingly went to a South Thailand Taoist Temple to obtain is actually one of my Taoist lineage. I further briefly informed him on 2 more Taoist lineage that I am holding, and the reason spiritually why he should relocate those items and consolidate them.

I always believe, if a Feng Shui Master is good at what he is doing, he does not need to use other fields of knowledge to solve the Feng Shui problem. Example, adding spiritual context into solving a Feng Shui problem. On the other hand, if a Taoist Master is good at what he is doing, he does not need to add Feng Shui into solving spiritual matters. Using spiritual method alone will be able to solve the spiritual problems.

Furthermore, I do not like to confuse my client on who are they actually hiring, The Feng Shui Master or the Taoist Master? If in doubt, usually I assure them that you are hiring a practical logical Feng Shui Master who have strong Taoist religious belief. This rarely happen because 90% of my client knows me as a Feng Shui master or practitioner only.

After advicing on the recommendations, finally I gave him some talisman to solve his existing pressing business problem. Because to wait for the Feng Shui setup to run its course requires at least 10 days in which the time he does not have at the moment. Told him the spiritual help is pro-bono but make sure he pays my Feng Shui due fees when he is ok again.

Moral of the story -
1. Remember your Feng Shui Master when you are having a good run.
2. Spiritual methods will work once your environment setup is done correctly. Or else the spiritual help will be like trying to push a heavy cart uphill, you cannot continuously use spiritual method to solve a basic Feng Shui environmental mistake.
3. Remember your Feng Shui Master when you are having a good run. (its not a typo repeat)

How to Survive Bad Financial Times with Destiny Analysis and Feng Shui......

Majority of us are feeling the impact of bad financial times in Malaysia. Various impact including devaluation of currency result in more narrow scope of opportunity in most sectors and field.

If you are student of Chinese Metaphysics then undoubtedly the first thing you have to learn is there is a cycle to everything in the universe. There is no permanent bad times or good times. The key is what to do in each of those times.

As the country and location that a person is situated would already be affected by the location luck ie bad economic times. Nothing we can change about that.

First and foremost for survival is to know where you are in your luck range. Whether the coming 3 years is BAD, AVERAGE or GOOD. To know that you need to be able to look at your own destiny chart 八字 4 Pillars. Check on your 10 years luck, then with the information apply it on the coming 3 individual years personal luck.

If 10 Years Luck is GOOD but yearly luck is bad then the most is AVERAGE 

If 10 Years Luck is GOOD but yearly luck is AVERAGE then the most is ABOVE AVERAGE

If 10 Years Luck is GOOD and yearly luck is GOOD then it will be GOOD no matter how the economy turn out. 

If 10 Years Luck is BAD but yearly luck is GOOD, then the most is AVERAGE and surviving.

If 10 Years Luck is BAD and yearly luck is AVERAGE then the most is BELOW AVERAGE.

If 10 Years Luck is BAD and yearly luck is also BAD, then most of anything unfavourable will happen to you such as losing job, changing job and getting worst each time and also facing tremendous financial difficulty.

If after checking and your luck overall is GOOD or ABOVE AVERAGE, you have nothing to worry about. You will definitely ride through the storm, perhaps even a good time for investment, pick up a few fundamentally strong stocks or properties.

The following article is for those who are AVERAGE, BELOW AVERAGE or BAD. How to survive the coming period.

1. Make sure your house Feng Shui is audited accordingly. When good economic times, the overall luck situation of your surrounding economy can support you even if your luck is below average. For example, in a village where the crops are growing in abundant, nobody will die of hunger even if they are lazy or cannot work. Some neighbours would be willing to give you some to survive.

If you are in a village that is experiencing extreme weathers, nobody will have any spare food for you. That's what I mean in surrounding economy. 

2. Make sure you do not do any new investments when your luck is AVERAGE and below during this time. One movement or jerk and you will be on the losing end. Good Luck people made smart decisions and Average Luck people or Below Average Luck people made the smart decision at the wrong time!

3. If you are in business, put your business into survival instinct now matter how big or steady your company is perceived to be. When you are in AVERAGE luck and operating a company in Bad Financial Times, it is like a boat sailing towards the rough seas with faulty compass.

4. If you are an employee, with AVERAGE luck ahead. Forget about the grass is greener on the other side. It is all a fantasy that only exist in your mind. Any changes you make in your career will be a regretful move. Stay put, check on how you can be more of value to your existing company so that you will not be on the 'let go' list when push comes to shove.

5. If you are thinking of starting a business with AVERAGE luck. I have a list of charitable organization that you can donate towards that will not only increase your spiritual merits but saves you the headache of watching your startup burning up all your hard earn or borrowed cash in the new 'venture'

6. If your luck is BAD for the coming 3 years. Lay low if you are an employee, add value to your work. Be prepared for any worst possibility in your career. Save up for 3 to 6 months worth of your own salary. Make sure you do not do any renovation at your existing home due to your fancy or own instinct of how things should be, because 99% of the time you will make it worst.

Knowing where you are, strong survival game plan and you are ahead of 90% of those people who do not even know that luck cycle exist.

MERS through eyes of Chinese Metaphysics

2002 - 2003 saw the first rise of SARS infections and peak of death rates in 2003. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Severe_acute_respiratory_syndrome. That was 12 years ago. The Chinese Calendar in 2003 was 癸未, exactly a cycle of Earthly Branches 地支 compare to this year. 

This month and especially this few days, news agencies started picking up the spread of MERS virus in Korea. Whether can the virus spread further, as it was first noticed in late 2012 in Saudi Arabia.

MERS image from alwaysimages.de

Interestingly this year 2015, the Chinese Calendar is 乙未. It is the same as in 2003, which is a goat year 未，however the Heavenly Stems 天干 is different. 2003 癸未 saw the clash of 癸 water stem clash with 未 earthly branch, which is clear water represented by the 癸 WATER stem with 未 EARTH branch.

2015 however, we have 乙 Wood Stem with 未 Earth. Will it be able to go full fledge into epidemic scale? Not likely. However since the month of June is 壬午 and July is 癸未 ， base on this 2 months and their element it is not likely to go away anytime soon.  The likely EARLIEST will also have to be beginning of autumn which is in August 甲申. 

Travelling this year if based on #QMDJ Qi Men Dun Jia 奇门遁甲 is not advisable for WEST and also EAST, using your own locality as to determine reference point.

For those who their own Ba Zi 八字 is particularly sensitive to Fire are not advisable to travel at least until Autumn this year, if the infection rate is not controlled by respective countries within these few weeks.

Stay Safe!

It's ALL Element Play

I thought I never need to write basic Feng Shui articles anymore, as Feng Shui is so popular around the world today. Just go to any nearby book store and you will have a section of books dedicate to this subject - all basic ones of course. Nevertheless a good start for all beginners.

What inspired me to write this posting was that I have read somewhere in the main stream media ad that only certain branch of Chinese Metaphysics have direct correlation between Feng Shui and also Destiny. This off course is not true, why some people may be led to believe so, is because mainstream Feng Shui writers like to separate out destiny reading and feng shui. 

They have not been taught that all of this knowledge is supposed to be linked up. However some school of thought linked it up to become a very powerful leverage to help on a person's destiny while some school sort of try to fit a square peg into a round hole (keep on pushing it and make a mess). It is like Fusion Food. I like Tomyam Spaghetti, but please don't ask me to try Peanut Butter with Tuna on a bread !

If you know Chinese Metaphysics really well or study in depth on each of the subjects from Face Reading 面相 to Oracle卜卦 to Feng Shui 風水 to BaZi 八字 / ZiWei 紫薇 to Qi Men Dun Jia 奇門遁甲. All of it deals with the 5 Elements. The basic is the 5 Elements, the highest learning is also interaction of the 5 elements. If it is something beyond 5 Elements then it is NOT Chinese Metaphysics.

What does 5 Elements do? It categorize or simplify the characteristics of the Qi or what you call Energy. And all branches of Chinese Metaphysics talk about achieving balance. When you have balance, not only it looks nice, it sounds perfect and everything moves smoothly.

When we discuss about Human Destiny - humans naturally are affected by Qi, whether reaching balance in their destiny, achieving balance of qi in their body's 5 main organs or harnessing the suitable Qi from the environment to aid them in their luck periods. 

When we read a person's destiny, what is their potential, what is their fall back, what are weakest genetic link - all this have to do with the 5 element balance in their destiny chart. When I do Feng Shui consultation for my clients, I then use the information of their destiny chart and try to do a setup in their environment to harness the qi that will help balance their destiny to avoid all the fall back and support their destiny and luck periods.

I don't do House Feng Shui - meaning find the best way to decorate their house according to House Feng Shui Principles. 

I help my clients do a setup of Qi in their environment, advice them on where to tap the Qi that best suit their type of destiny and also the goal that they are trying to achieve. Therefore each person or family is different. Same house with different people will be different advice.

Destiny here means their Four Pillars of Destiny or 八字. Other systems are only interested in Year of Birth to convert to a GUA Trigam. That you can do in a DIY setting. No need to hire Feng Shui Master.

Because of the mass conventional materials that is out there, writers who have never made the link or never been taught that it is supposed to be linked. This concept becomes alien and 'unconventional' to many newbies.

When I do Yin Feng Shui － Feng Shui for burial ground or columbarium selection, the crucial key other than finding good landforms is whether the element it harness will be suitable for the later generations of my client. Their children's destiny requirement and also the timing to harness the qi.

Even in Qi Men Dun Jia 奇門遁甲，the highest essence is the ability to linked it with a person's destiny. How to chase after qi that is suitable to you. Not just basic favourable and unfavourable location base on conventional Qi Men knowledge that are in books.

From the 十天干 Heavenly Stems， 地支 Earth Branches, 八卦 Ba Gua correlation with 5 Elements 五行 in all Chinese Metaphysics subject is denotating the same 5 Elements - there is no such thing as 5 elements for Feng Shui is different from 5 elements of destiny OR 5 elements of Yin Feng Shui is different from 5 Elements on your face for Face Reading.

Finally, if you have understood this point and looking at the linkage instead of the difference, it all comes down to element play.

Does Water Equal to Money in Feng Shui?

Many dream of owning a piece of property facing the unobstructed sea view in front of their home 无敌海景 . For some it is the ultimate symbol of finally making it to the top of the rat race. But having sea front property, is it all equal or all the same?

The crucial factor is what is on the opposite of the view. If you have a seafront property, and in front there is absolutely nothing but the sea and an open horizon, then actually the open sea from Feng Shui principle is counter productive. Qi of the area cannot be retain and therefore on the major setup has Qi dissipating quality. Much will be lost in 12 years or less.

It would NOT be useful, if you make it all the way to the top and bought a house that can possibly make you lose it all in 12 years!

When prospective client call me sometimes they would like to ask me over the phone, what do you think about hill in that area, the lake, the mountain etc. This is because in most cases they think the area will have a big impact on their Feng Shui when they plan to buy an apartment or a house in a housing estate - MACRO Feng Shui. MOST of the time you do not have a choice, partly because home owner choices are determined by their budget.

But when you think about it in MACRO way and logically, if the area has 200 multi-millionaires staying together, would the area have bad Macro Feng Shui for creating financial problems for people staying in the area. It wouldn't. Why? Because these 200 people would have really strong 10 years luck to be able to 1. Afford the property in the area 2. Able to sustain living in the area.

The biggest problem is, knowing that area has good MACRO Feng Shui, would we be able to afford a home in that particular spot? So for Macro Feng Shui, you don't need to ask a Feng Shui Master. Just drive around your state or province and you can quickly learn about properous natural macro feng shui setup. Just follow the money trail....

Since this article is about sea front property. As I stroll around the neighbourhood this morning, suddenly inspiration came for me to blog about the Feng Shui of this particular row of sea front bungalow.

Sea front or water front, first and foremost criteria is that we have to observe whether the formation have sentimental formation 有情水 or unsentimental formation 无情水. If sea front then we have to look at whether what is opposite to your direct view of the sea. Is it open horizon? If hills and mountain, is it far away or near? These are the basic criteria to observe, of course there are other secondary ones to look out for, but for the sake of this post we will start with these 2 criteria.

These particular sea view bungalows are located at Seri Tanjung Pinang, Penang. Commonly known as Straits Quay area. The latest listing I have checked online is RM15,000,000 for 1 unit (about USD 4.3 million). http://www.propertyguru.com.my/penang/tanjung-tokong/bungalow-for-sale?property_type=B

The sea formation in front is quite sentimental, slow sea water - largely because it is situated on the NorthEast of Penang Island, and opposite the island is a curve formation of mainland.

This is the panoramic view that I have manage to capture. The right hand side facing the sea is actually where the sea view bungalows are located. Center of the photo is actually the 90' to the left and to the right from where I stood. When you are standing from the bungalow and looking towards the sea, you can see hills and mountains on the opposite side. There is no open horizon, all the qi are retained in the nice curve if we look at the satellite image above.

Each section of the front is captured.

Directly opposite these bungalows on the other side.

From left to right, the whole area qi is retained and protected. Definitely a good sentimental formation. And it ought to be if you are paying RM15 mil per house!.

Then the next question would be, if I stay in these type of house, would I be even more prosperous? Answer would be: It depends. If your chart can take massive amount of a particular type of element, and this setup happens to provide you what you need, then DEFINITELY it is a worthy buy. In the olden days, they have a phrase - if a particular Feng Shui setup is really 1 in a million that suits you, then even if you have to pawn off everything up including your underwear, then you must get it. 

HOWEVER, if your destiny cannot take this particular setup of Qi, staying in it for even 12 months would be disastrous!

This is just the Macro side of Feng Shui, then whether the owner has maximize the qi setup inside the property would account for 60% of the overall Feng Shui quality of the house and its effect on those people living in it.

With the above information, I think you can safely know the answer to whether water equals to money in Feng Shui. This is the last article for 2014. Wish everyone have big aspirations for being able to find and live in superior Feng Shui setup in 2015 and beyond. 

Until then...Have a phenomenal year ahead!

Rapid Face Reading - 带眼识人

Straight Line between the eyebrow, what does it mean for a person to have this feature on their face? 
It means the person has self will, once their mind is made up, nothing can change their stance. On the negative side, it means that they are quite stubborn in their views. Usually lines on the forehead will only start to develop when you are in early 20s or beyond.

Then what does it mean if you see it on teenagers or children?
It means that in their process of growing up, their communication has been suppressed by their parents (especially father). It could also mean that they have not received much encouragement from their father in their early years when their character are starting to form.

100% Feng Shui House ?

Clients and friends often asked me "Is there any possible way to build a house that is 100% perfect in Feng Shui for me?"

The limitation of Feng Shui is not in its principles and system, the limitation is on the person's Bazi who is going to live in that particular house.

When I am auditing a house, I have been trained to think of myself with my client's Bazi, where would I place my bed, the kitchen, the best water exits and how to harness the Qi to best increase the type of Bazi that my client have. With this 2nd and 3rd person perspective, I will then select the BEST possible location for all the arrangement in the house.

And from experience, some of the clients will ask whether they can for example, place this bed on another corner, at another room. Even after much insistence on my part for it to be on the suggested location, they still ask me to think of some other ways to remedy where they plan to sleep, work etc.

They would have the idea that if the alternative location is possible, then maybe there are more alternatives that I have not think of - trying to ask for more possible location. When I inspect, audit and suggest, it is always only the BEST. Any further alternatives are just discounted options.

When a person have been given the best, but choose to locate their arrangements according to alternatives, how can a person achieve 100% Feng Shui?

Let's say we have a ready build up house with no major FS mistakes.
Bazi of the person staying the house would discount further - even if they decide to follow all advice to the dot would be 85%
If they decide to go with alternative another discount would be 70% or less effectiveness.
If they decide to only follow partial advice the whole setup would take another discount amounting to 60% or less effectiveness.

The limitation is not in the FS system but on the person's Bazi staying in a house.
