Common mis-conception that some people might have, just because I am good at telling a person when they will likely fall sick and with what problem regarding health, some might have the mistaken idea that as long I can name it or tell it then they can avoid it totally by just knowing about it from my mouth.

Another misconception that I have recently got to know is that, some might think as long as Feng Shui was done on a house, the person in the household would not have cancer health problem. This point need some time to explain and for your to read.

Regarding dangerous sickness and terminal desease, there are 2 factors from a Chinese Metaphysic perspective.

1. Terminal desease already clearly indicated on your destiny chart. This means that when you live up to a certain age, without a strict overview on your diet and lifestyle, the person will be diagnose of cancer or some other illness that are caused by the imbalance of element within their destiny chart.

2. Sickness and desease are not clearly evident on their destiny chart BUT the enviroment setup is wrong and contributes to the imbalance of element in the individual's surrounding. This will then cause sickness to the person who has been exposed to the imbalance in the long term.

Cancer Cells

I have had cases of person diagnosed with cancer, their chart is not evident of the sickness and after audit and rectification, the sickness is under controlled. But does that mean, they could just throw their new anti-cancer diet out of the window? NO, because once your body have develop the ability to mutate its cell, then the person need to have strict control of their diet for rest of their life.

If your house was audited by me, I will do everything to make sure that the environment and feng shui setup does not go wrong in a way that would create the imbalance in the person's body for them to end up with dangerous sickness or terminal desease.

However, if your destiny chart already clearly indicates that cancer or some other sickness such as heart failure in this life journey, the house feng shui setup the best it can do is to minimize the impact. The other part of the prevention comes from your of strict upkeep of life style and diet to lower the possibility even more.

Those client and friends that know me personally are aware that I do not drink or smoke and don't indulge in food that will cause health problems. Why? I know when and what will eventually kill me, how fast it will happen if I do not keep a healthy lifestyle. This means that I did everything I possibly could on my environment and at the same time, I am not bragging about I can eat anything I like, abuse my body to max and yet nothing will happen just because I know Feng Shui and read destiny well.

For all clients that have asked me to audit their house Feng Shui, I would recommend them to request for me to analyse their destiny every year if not every 2 years. House Setup is correct, but the person's destiny changes every year, and every 5 years a medium change. If sickness or terminal desease is on the horizon, we can detect the possibility early on the destiny analysis and then go for medical test and advice.

Did you know that a piano for example, even if you don't play it, every 6 months to a year, you would need to ask a professional to tune it ? As it will be out of tune due to weather, humidity etc. Imagine, what about a person's destiny? We make conscious and unconscious decisions that affects our health and all other aspects of our life everyday.

Some would then ask me, "wouldn't it be better for you to tell me when I will have dangerous sickness or cancer early, so I can take preventive measures" Imagine on one of your happiest moment in your life of moving into a new house and this Feng Shui Master comes around and tell you in 10 years time you would be diagnose with a certain life changing illness.

Even if you have a very remote possibility of a particular sickness appearing on your destiny, just by worrying and constantly remind yourself about the future sickness would be a sure GUARANTEE that you will get it due to self fulfilling principle. My master taught me in Destiny Analysis always must have 口德 Kou De or aware of what comes out of my mouth , speak things that can generate good merits instead of speak things that will cause demerit of karma.

Now you know, Feng Shui Master also have possibility of developing cancer, get sick and have a short life.

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.

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!

TRAVEL FENG SHUI - Chiang Mai City 2

In our family trip to Chiang Mai city, we stayed at the Holiday Inn Hotel. We are happy with our stay and even glad that we had a chance to communicate with the hotel General Manager who is also a Penangite.

While my stay in Holiday Inn had been brief and also most of the time we are out on excursion and shopping. Even with such schedule,I still managed to have a brief analysis of the hotel Feng Shui.

On the left wall of the front facade

 The hotel from the information that I have gathered, is more busy now compared to previously. And some attribute it to some changes in the interior that was done in the hotel. The most obvious is the standing Lord Ganesha statue that is facing the main doors of the hotel.

Some of the readers will now have questions in mind, what does Lord Ganesha has to do with Feng Shui?


Allow me to explain this case study. The hotel has 2 main doors in the front, on the left and right.

 

The hotel front facade faces almost North. Thereby one of the main door is facing directly NORTH while the other is more of a NORTHEAST.

By having Lord Ganesha, in the center hall of the hotel, actually it has strengthened one of the door to be considered as main intake of Qi. And it happens that this main door where Lord Ganesha statue is facing is the NORTHERN door.

View from behind Lord Ganesha statue, looking at pic you can see the other entrance on the right.

 Hotel industry belongs to element of Metal and Water industry. Before the installation of Lord Ganesha, the hotel had equal intake of Qi from 2 main doors which is a mix Qi, after the installation, the primary Qi intake has been established on the Northern door. Whereby creates more traffic flow and business for the hotel.

Some who like to study Feng Shui theories and in constant search for Feng Shui complex formulas will be thinking " WHAT ?! That's it?, no need check the Flying Star 飛星, Water Exits 出水位, Landforms 地形, Xuan Gong Da Gua 玄空大卦?"

Knowing when to apply what is the most crucial skill as a Feng Shui practitioner. Being able to find the most effective leverage point to influence a Feng Shui setup is called a Skillful Feng Shui practitioner.

Of course more can be done for the hotel in terms of its location and interior.

Nevertheless they have correctly installed the beautiful Lord Ganesha together with 4 other elephant statues in their main hall from a Feng Shui perspective.

Double Dragon in Bangkok Chicken Rice Shop !

 Feng Shui for a business. Some like to say that it takes really complex formulas to setup a Feng Shui of a business. Is there any truth to the statement? Well the setup is not as difficult as finding the right location with the pre-requisite factor for a good setup.

I was supposed to write this article 2 years ago, but as usual workload and activities got the best of me.

The Kai Ton Chicken Rice Shop along Petchburi Soi 30 Bangkok, Thailand. This shop opens daily till 3 am in the morning. And the crowd is just amazing.

Photos from http://reviews.noobcook.com/kaiton-chicken-rice/

From the outlook, there is nothing attractive as it only has a usual stall with cooked chickens in front. The chicken rice is very tasty, but more amazing is that the Feng Shui that makes up the shop.

Simple layout of the Kai Ton Chicken Rice Shop

When I was there, after tasting the chicken rice, I have decided to check out what kind of setup that this shop has, that draws crowd in daily from 5:30 am early in the morning till 3:00am the next day!

The chicken rice of course has to taste good, but there must be good Feng Shui setup. If the Feng Shui setup is incorrect to my knowledge and still thriving, then I am the one who should go and re-learn Feng Shui because there should not be an inconsistency. Obviously the shop is having really good business by any standards.

I just turn on my digital compass on my mobile phone, stood outside the shop and looked to the right. The answer was very obvious. The shop have what we call a INTER-TWINE DOUBLE DRAGON Structure雙局龍. The Shop Face NORTH.

Screen Capture of my phone compass

INTER-TWINE DOUBLE DRAGON structure is when 2 direction brings in harmonious Qi that is RIGHT for the business. Therefore the crowd that it draws will be tremendous compared to any normal setup.

The shop does not need any fancy door alignment (there was no door for this shop anyway), water features or even correct water exits.

Flying Star fellas would like to search for double 88, double 77 etc. It has enjoyed good business for the past 50 years! There is no need as required in Flying Star to change door, change roof, change entrance. In fact if you use Flying Star system, you will need to go back to school as it does not match the criteria at all.

The structure in powerful and yet simple, but difficult to find in a cityscape shop house layout.

Feng Shui for a business we would ALWAYS need to create the setup of QI that is ideal for the element of the business. Too many 'consultants' got it wrong by creating a setup base on the owner of the business. That is using residential Feng Shui principle to do a business Feng Shui setup, which often times does NOT work!.

What is NOT Feng Shui?

Since I've posted up questions on GK Ham International Feng Shui Consultant Facebook page, I receive request to write about what is and what is not Feng Shui.

My experience with new clients nowadays, 99% of them are able to differentiate 'trinket' Feng Shui and real Feng Shui.

'Trinket' Feng Shui is when the ‘Feng Shui consultants’ ask you to purchase 1 or more statues/ornaments to place in each corner of your house. For romance, maybe you would require to buy some items that have shapes or imagery that reminds you of couple, togetherness etc. For support, mountain pictures, fibre/steel or wood base material to represent mountain and place it at your back.

These are all classified as Trinket Feng Shui - which is NOT Feng Shui. If having all these trinkets can change a person's life in their environment- then the shop that is selling it must be enjoying the best Feng Shui - which sadly in reality is never the case.

Then why do people still buy those trinkets home and place it year after year?. Additionally there is always a new batch of people every year who are really interested in improving their life with Feng Shui but somehow not having enough merits in their destiny, therefore leading them to read the wrong books and unknowingly lead them to a road of endless trinket buying spree!

Trinket Feng Shui have ideas similar to modern medicine, something wrong with your body and surely the doctor would have a pill to fix it. In this case, something inadequate in your life, there's a Feng Shui item that can fix or help you.

If you are really wanting to know what is real Feng Shui and want to use Feng Shui to assist you in your goals in life, the first thing you have to wake up from is the trinket Feng Shui dream. If you are able to pass that- then you might just have enough merits in your destiny to know what is real Feng Shui and how it can help improve your life for which the system has been improving others destiny for many centuries before us.

So what is real Feng Shui? Feng Shui is using the energy of your environment to balance YOUR destiny. Whenever there is balance, there is harmony, and where harmony exist - prosperity comes naturally and easily. You are in flow with your destiny - things that you willed, objectives that you set are easily put into motion and achieve without much obstacles. What I described seems like fluff and above the air. Prosperity does not mean money will fall from the sky, or just wait and someone will knock at the door and give you a big chunk of money.

Some term it as Classical Feng Shui, following the Classics that was written by previous practitioners. Even within classical Feng Shui there are differences in the system that is used and of course the variations of result.

One of the WORST beliefs to adopt in Feng Shui is to think that it is a Do It Yourself (DIY) hobby. Hence many would think that a How To Feng Shui book costing less than USD100 will be able to help their destiny and improve their life, if only they follow it to the dot. Would you DIY surgery for your own medical condition?

The major difference of ancient Chinese authors and Western authors is that, for Chinese practitioners who are forefront in their field, their writings of books most of the time is published to impress their peers of their capability and knowledge findings. Rarely are those books being published to be How To or Guide books of DIY Feng Shui. Readers who are not familiar with this would then take these books as self-learning books of Feng Shui.

Some Western authors would then translate these early classics or make interpretations on those classics. BUT are those interpretations or translations useful? Applicable in modern household? Or even correct?

So how do we determine the classics are correct? It is through experience gather from many case studies through time back by logical principles and interactions of the 5 elements. Is an experience of a person enough to render a principle useful or applicable? NO definitely NOT, you need a group of people through generations to apply, validate, re-assess and finally render that principle useful.

This is where a REAL Feng Shui Master needs to be able to tell others the name of their teacher or Master, their grand master and great grandmaster. Not because they can show off, it is so that we can trace their line of knowledge, collective experiences and also the effectiveness of their work. You MUST place an importance on this if you ever want to experience the effects of Feng Shui.

When a practitioner put their Feng Shui consulting name as ‘research for Feng Shui’ it always gives me a big doubt in my mind. Because there is NOT even a remote possibility within a lifespan of ordinary human being to be able to research anything out of Feng Shui. Lets look at the figures, BaZi possibility runs in millions of possible combinations, not encompassing the background, place of birth and locality of the person. Then with house and environment, there are almost infinite possibilities of external environment, internal layout.

If the person’s foundation knowledge of Feng Shui principles are not strong, in which they are just experimenting here and there, points pick up from books and short seminar here and there. Do you think they would ever research anything from it? And you let them CHARGE you money for experimenting on you.

For example Chinese martial arts, famous Wing Chun practitioner Ip Man. His Master or Shi Fu is Chan Wah Shun and from him we can trace it all the way back Wing Chun. Now famous globally is Samuel Kwok, his master is Ip Ching and Ip Chun, sons of Ip Man. And wherever you go to learn Wing Chun in the world – those masters are able to tell you their lineage. Even Bruce Lee the founder of Jeet Kun Do is able to tell you his master is Ip Man, and from it he refine it further. All these legends of our time, do not tell people I study it from books or I am doing some research in Wing Chun on my own. Why? Because it takes a person a lifetime in order to refine the skills of their lineage.

Author's partial collection of Feng Shui Luo Pan

Feng Shui is field of knowledge by itself, and within it have few systems that are being used. Studying Chinese Traditional Medicine takes 5 years of theory and 2 years of recognizing herbs. For Feng Shui each system will take 3 – 5 years to familiarize for a student, refinement will take 1 decade or more.  If you are willing to invest the time and effort, then practicing Feng Shui as a career may suit you. If you just want the results, by all means hire a professional who have gone through the required learning and just pay his fees. DIY? Why don’t you opt for clay craft instead :)

Major points of the article

1. Product placement is not Feng Shui.
2. Feng Shui is not a Do It Yourself (DIY) subject.
3. Feng Shui is managing the energy in your environment to balance YOUR destiny.
4. You cannot learn Feng Shui from books. Feng Shui Classics are extended papers published to impress their peers. They are not meant to teach a layperson on Feng Shui.
5. If you want to learn, learn from someone who can name you their teacher and also teacher’s teacher.
6. It takes 3 – 5 years to learn Feng Shui.
7. If you want immediate results, hire a professional.

FS Difference between House and Apartments

What is the difference?

In internal Feng Shui evaluation of house vs apartments - 2 areas of importance have a lot of difference in flexibility.

1. Internal Water Exits of the home. House can spend some money to correct the problem, whereas for apartments, majority of the cases you will be unable to change it.

2. Kitchen and Stove. If kitchen is not in the correct location, you can still change it. For apartments, it will be a major project. If the building adopts central gas supply then changing location will be almost impossible.

For external evaluation,

1.If there is a major sha in the environment, if an apartment building faces sha, the sha effect will be shared by all the occupants. If a house faces a major sha in the environment, then they will be affected wholly by it. 

2. For external water, which is bringing strong vibrant qi into the house or strong sha qi into house - depending on the house setup- house will definitely have more advantage in receiving qi compared to apartments.

Landed properties are increasingly more expensive all over the world. From a Feng Shui consultants perspective and experience - if you cannot afford a landed property, find a qualified Feng Shui consultant and find the appropriate landed property that are available for rent!

If you have rented a house that are suitable for your BaZi- it will definitely helped your destiny. When the correct luck period arrive, then you will be able to afford your first landed.

When I started moving out from my parent's place, I've decided to rent a house even though the rental was much more than I can afford. Within 3 years, me and my wife bought our first house. And after another 5 years we upgraded again.

So part of the plan to improve your destiny are:

Find a suitable landed property- if you cannot afford to buy - RENT !
And most important of all get a qualified Feng Shui consultant to advise you!

A little bit of knowledge can be very dangerous.

Yesterday, one of my relatives called me up in the afternoon, asked me to join him for tea with one of his friend from mainland China. According to my relative, this person also has an interest in Chinese Metaphysics. Having a couple of hours to spare before bringing my kids to play outdoor, I decided to meet this person.

When I met Mr. Leung (in his late 40’s), he told me he is from Hong Kong but now residing in Shanghai. My relative decide to de-tour to his newly bought condominium, I thought he was showing Mr. Leung some investment opportunities in Penang.

When we arrived at the condo building, my relative said “both of you can help check out the Feng Shui of my new place.” Mr Leung said he did not bring his compass. My relative point to me and said he got it in his phone. I reluctantly bring out my iPhone and check the reading. Mr Leung was very surprised with capability of the iPhone (in my daily work, I still use the Luo Pan, I think clients would not pay me my high fees if they see me using iPhone to do audit).

I decided not to say anything about the Feng Shui of his condo, because I am not working and it is a de-tour scenario. And when we got back in the car, Mr. Leung start to ask me some background questions about Feng Shui, the conversation goes something like this

Mr. Leung: How did you study Feng Shui?, you study it yourself from books?

GK Ham: I study under Grandmaster Lau on San Yuan Feng Shui. San He under two different master, and QMDJ from Master Ho in Hong Kong.

Mr Leung : Oh, San Yuan, you use Xuan Gong Flying Star?

GK Ham: No we don’t use Flying Star. Mainly San Yuan.

Mr. Leung: So San Yuan, you subscribe to the principle of changing to period 8 on 2004?

GK Ham: Actually we are not worried about the period. We are more concern about what is the qi structure of the property, exit of qi of the property and using Useful God in BaZi to match with the person’s allocation.

Mr. Leung: Then do you meddle with Ba Zi.

GK Ham: Of course.

Mr. Leung: It is actually good you have studied about San He. So that you can have a more broader outlook on Feng Shui. Just San Yuan alone would not be enough.

GK Ham: (obviously you do not know what you are talking about, if you study 2 system completely you would not be making this statement. San Yuan is a complete system and San He is a complete system, I’ve decided to dedicate my career on San Yuan, case close)

After these few Qs and As, in my mind, I thought Mr. Leung just has an interest in Feng Shui, so it is natural for those who are not in the field to make self and wrong assumptions about different systems or try to create hybrid systems.

When we reach his hotel, my relative asked me whether want to join them(Mr. Leung’s old friend Mr. Liu who is from China doing investment in Penang, and Mr. and Mrs Tan and their small daughter) for drinks, since it is still early, I have decided to join in.

When we sat down, Mr. Liu told my relative that Mr. Leung had helped a lot of people become rich in China. My relative was introduced to Mr. Leung a few days ago through Mr. Liu due to their business relation. Instantly it hit me, that Mr. Leung is also in Feng Shui consultant and Mr. Liu was trying to recommend him to my relative. I have become a human shield because most likely my relative find it hard to turn Mr. Liu down and thus bring me into the picture.

Anyhow, since I am stuck in the position, I might as well enjoy the afternoon tea. Then I saw Mr. Leung bring out his Chinese 10,000 years calendar and a note pad. Mr. and Mrs Tan wanted Mr. Leung to do BaZi analysis for their daughter who is having some illness. After Mr. Leung write up the BaZi, I had a brief glance on the BaZi as I was sitting next to him.

Mr. Leung decided to start his BaZi analysis on the Mr. Tan daughter, “Your daughter belong to water element, water strong like the sea.” (Because his daughter is strong REN壬 Water) “ Her illness will go away when she is 11, she will somehow find some doctors or person that will help her, when she reach her that age. Currently her strong water is being block by Earth, therefore the water cannot run smoothly.”

The young girl is Strong Ren Water, going through XU戌 Earth luck( which later when I go through my calendar, actually she is going through YOU酉 luck, apparently he made a mistake when writing up the young girl’s chart).

Plus her Ba Zi chart has an inherent SI巳, WU午, WEI未 forming Fire in the bottom. Using just a Yi 乙 Wood to prevent both fire and water from clashing. When she was born 7 years ago , the illness is not evident because year is GUI WEI癸未, followed by JIA SHEN甲申 and then YI YOU乙酉. All of it has wood, therefore the evident clash is not there at least until 2006.

The inherent clash, surfaced this year because GENG YIN 庚寅 year, Geng 庚combines with Yi乙 wood and thus inherent fire beneath clash upwards with the water, desease related to the blood. She suffers from Lupus.

(If you got lost in the above explanation, in brief his interpretation of the chart is not detail enough to get to the root of the problem)

Mr. Leung knowledge level is obviously not ready for him to go into this profession full time. Writing up BaZi chart and does not know the difference of Jie Qi 节气 for entering the month is not qualified to be giving advice to others.

I have no idea where he learn his BaZi or Feng Shui, anyway I am not interested to know. No wonder this field is being shun by some parts of the general public, it is these standard of “consultants” going around giving others advice on things and knowledge they thought they knew it inside out. Which in actual fact, what they are doing is just giving Chinese Metaphysics a bad name.

My advice is, if you learn it for own knowledge, you can consult your own family members and friends while maintaining a good feedback relation with your master, at least they can tell you when you make a mistake and correct you.

If you are doing it full time as a career. Thinking learning from books and some short talks by Feng Shui master, then you are trying to take a short cut and not doing your dues. The law of karma always catches up with you when you have done a string of damage through your advices to countless families and businesses. Which in reality their life would be better off not taking up your service in the first place!

And if you are doing it full time and try to wing it, one day there might be someone like me who just happen to sit next to you when you are doing your consultation and write up on his blog about it.

(All names have been changed for privacy reasons except for Mr. Leung)

Can creating a tomb before you die actually enhances your luck?

Doing a tomb or grave for a person before they die can actually bring about good luck or enchance a person's overall luck. Usually a master would help a person who is suffering from terminal illness or very down in their luck. However most of the time, we have to take into account the person's overall destiny and also his/her behaviour and character in society.

End of the day, somebody has to settle or nullify the karmic effect if such exercise is being carried out. Here are excerpts from a Hong Kong magazine, Grandmaster Lau was interviewed for his view on doing 'live tombs'.

After Effects of knocking and Drilling

Received a SMS from my client 3 days ago informing me that things are not going smooth for them after they move into their new house. I was quite surprised by the chronology of events that happened according to her accounts.

It includes knocking of head that requires sticthing, accident of car, fell down the bed while sleeping and even diarrhea.

If unsuitability of the person Bazi to their allocated placement, that would not happen, not accidents that involves the whole household continously.

Then I ask her "Did you do any knocking or drilling after you moved in?" She told me that actually after moving in they have done quite a number of knocking and drilling including trying to fix some water leakage problem at the back of the house.

Every year there are certain locations that must not be knock or drill for the duration of the year. This year it is the North, NorthEast and also East. Apparently by knocking and drilling all over after they have moved in, they have actually triggered all there is to trigger in relation to sha qi position of the year.

What do you do if you have triggered sha qi? Actually all you can do is wait for the strong qi to disperse. Which in their case it's going to be after some time.

There is one method which is true spiritual method - by using of talisman. Initially I was quite reserved about suggesting his to her. I do not like to mix Feng Shui with spiritual method as clients would thought this guy has gone vodoo or what?

Anyhow to contain the damage in the shortest time possible, I had no choice but to suggest this remedy.






In our Taoist lineage, we do not accept or expect any forms of monetary payments for any of the spiritual process. Now I am still waiting for the last process of consecration so that I can pass to her immediately.

Moral of the story, do not simply knock anywhere in your house, when the year is not favorable and you hit strong sha, help is not always ready to contain the damage.
