生基 Sheng Ji - Live Burial or Buried Alive?

Recently in Malaysia, there is more and more onslaught of promotions for buying up your burial land and do a 'live burial' for yourself. Like what they say in the stock market, when you hear that even the radio are promoting it, then it is sure that this knowledge has hit the mainstream.

I have several clients messaging me, what'sapp me asking me to explain to their friends because their friends know that they have a long term Feng Shui consultant. And what is usually they want to know? Is it true?

First we need to be clear about Sheng Ji 生基. What is it ?

In traditional sense, Sheng Ji - means that a person who is alive have determined and bought up a piece of land that is for their future burial ground. The Feng Shui of the tomb and tombstone would also be done up with their name and all the necessary orientation of the burial hole and coffin setup is done in advance. Then we can officially conclude that the person has done up his/her Sheng Ji 生基.

All this is plan and constructed with the help of a qualified Feng Shui consultant. If it is just buying a burial land to prepare for future use, that is not considered as Sheng Ji, that is just called prepared in advance!

Let me explain the scenario of what is happening now....

The recent craze in Malaysia for Sheng Ji is much due to the 'Up Yours' mentality of amateurs who are doing Feng Shui in Malaysia. When a 'half pail' (half pail means they don't know what they are doing) they do Feng Shui for their clients, the clients doesn't see much effect. Then the client asked 'What else can you do?' 

Then they try to do something more fancy, maybe do I- Ching Oracle, then that failed too, the client asked again ' What else can you do?' Then they figure they must do a Date Selection for client to start their client business registration date. When the client's business failed, then the client asked ' What else can you do?' They search high and low and finally ' Aha ' I can do your ' Sheng Ji '! (since the client is on the way down anyway, might as well do his tomb !)

So we have 1 Feng Shui 'half pail'  doing it. Another person also having a 'half pail' consultant will ask whether his consultant can do Sheng Ji for him, and so the trend started with each half pail competing with another to 'Up Yours in their skills description'. Pretty soon, the whole market is flooded with people who wants to bury you before your are dead!

And now they have actually moved beyond Sheng Ji, they have actually promoting people to do 養基 Yang Ji.

What is 養基 Yang Ji ?

Yang Ji means you have already done up your Sheng Ji, then you go further by placing your DNA on the burial site. This is to harness the Qi in advance. DNA here means strands of your hair, fingernail, toenail, body hair and also drops of your blood buried in the Sheng Ji. Hence it is called 養基 Yang Ji - means to cultivate your tomb @ harnessing the qi of your tomb. Sheng Ji is indirect, Yang Ji is direct harness.

And they claimed it will help you in your luck, destiny, broken marriage, hiring helpful staffs, almost everything that is beneficial under the sun and moon. And most of the marketing that I have read recently, are promoting Yang Ji.

Questions 

1. Does 養基 Yang Ji works?

Yes it does work PROVIDED---
A. You have hired they consultant that knows what they are doing. Unfortunately not many in the field would know how to do it correctly.
B. How to know they are qualified Yin Feng Shui consultant? For my lineage, the person have to do Yin Feng Shui for their grandparents or parents before they are allowed to do Yin Feng Shui for others. And it must be burial type Feng Shui. Reason being, if a Feng Shui disciple have done their own ancestors Yin Feng Shui wrong, then they would not be able to survive to do it for others!

2. What is the purpose of Yang Ji?

The purpose is to help a person with terminal illness to extend their life, that is the main reason for a person to consider doing it. 

3. Is there any side effects Yang Ji is done wrongly?

When a NORMAL Yin Feng Shui is done wrongly, the whole direct descendant would be affected through the course of time. Effect such as health, broken marriage and financial problem.

If a Yang Ji is done wrongly, the person will immediately feel its effect and in some worst case, even terminate their life earlier. Because harnessing the wrong Qi can be detrimental especially when a person is down on their luck.

4. Do you know how to do Sheng Ji and Yang Ji?

My Feng Shui specialization is doing Yin Feng Shui. I have done many Sheng Ji for clients, but for Yang Ji, usually clients find it more cost effective to ask me to help them in their Yang Feng Shui.

Which brings me to highlight few important point. If you are after a better financial position, improve relationships or marriage, attracting more suitable staffs/workers - Yang Feng Shui (normal Feng Shui) from a qualified Feng Shui consultant, can help you achieve those results without the catastrophic harmful side effects if it does go wrong.

Sheng Ji is necessary as it is part of planning for future. Because you do not want your loved ones to be in a panic state of finding you a proper resting place when you have passed on. The event of dealing with your death will already be stressful enough for most family members.

If you are not having a terminal illness, why they heck would you be even considering Yang Ji 養基 ?

If you are down with your luck, down in your finance - if you are down in these 2 factors, it is almost impossible to even find a suitable Sheng Ji 生基 plot. Don't even think about Yang Ji, as the only Yang Ji you will be doing is the one that is really going to bury you alive for good!

My final word of advice, get a qualified Feng Shui consultant to do your house and business Feng Shui. And when you really can afford it, plan ahead and do a Sheng Ji. In desperate times, avoid touching Yin Feng Shui unless there is really a wrong burial done for deceased family and the family experiences continuos problems after the burial.
