Things That They Don't Teach In FengShui School

What we have discussed earlier are some thoughts that you don’t need to spend unnecessarily for placebo FengShui comes every year and dealing with annual afflictions are just simple method of lay back and do nothing about it, contrary to some irresponsible recommendations of FengShui monster, to fight SanSha and the sort. If there is existing external ShaQi, dial 911 and call for FengShui masters. Only they can fix the problem.

Recommendations of locating the main door, headboard and stove, found in annual FengShui forecast book, at locations deemed to have been visited by the annual favorable star is highly simplified. You will still not able to benefits from these noble stars unless, a genuine FengShui master does the ShouQi or NaQi for you, which means to say, they must be there to make the necessary alignment for you in respect of the structure of your house within a given time. That is one good reason; they have good business before the arriving of every New Year! A DIY is as best as to receive the good effects of Spring Cleaning. If it really comes true then you believe that the writer is God in disguise of a man and you will go for his professional advice in due course. If it does not come true, then by virtue of the exclusion clause printed in small print in among the front pages, you cannot do anything. That is a very good reason why it is a must from commercial FengShui masters to publish annual FengShui forecasts. 

However, it is still a noble effort. As in betweens we are able to see how such nobilities are afflicted in some ways or another through another layer called, annual ShenSha usually found in the front few pages of the ThongSheng or the Almanac. A subject we shall discuss if times permit.

For completeness, let us look at the Purple White for XinMao year as part of QiMen DunJia methodology, for the upper period 8, XinMao year with the 5 yellow in the palace of growth. So, technically the 5 yellow for this year is a noble one. However, it shares the same palace with TaiSui, so in another ShenSha dimensions, it means something else, which we shall discuss in the topic of ShenSha. Whereas, 9 are in the palace of controlling out, so technically speaking it is a benevolent 9 purple caught in a difficult situation for it to display its nobility. Meeting SuiPo and SanSha, it also means something else. If there is a physical door in that sector, what does it opens up in terms of the “Human Door”, thus what sort of “gods” of nobility are we inviting through such “door”?

In conclusion, there are many dimensions into an otherwise, simple chart of annual flying star. Saying thus, we can still DIY but be prepare if nothing happens. That is already a good sign of auspiciousness!

Words of Wisdom

People who believes that their futures and fortunes can be predicted by the numbers, associated with their phone numbers, house numbers, marriage certificates numbers, birth certificates numbers, car numbers, pet numbers and all sorts of other predictions, will willingly allow all kinds of predictions to dictate their lives. They try to better their fortune with all kinds of rituals. They forget that every day is a lucky day for an industrious man. They ignore the different paths that can help them realize different goals. The most unlucky person in the world is those who never knew that they have always been lucky!

Thank you Mr. Oh KimLeng for such an inspired wisdom. I have taken the liberty to apply such to a more meaningful observation of the recent delirium in Chinese Metaphysics.

Kitchen Gossips

The Kitchen reflects the authority of the female household in a family. It traditionally reflects the power of Kun or the matron of the family. Kitchen is also a location for the female members to mingle and socializes which also include receiving friends of the female gender. Therefore, a kitchen is associated to the feminine side of the household as most of the time it will be occupied by the female of the house. It is therefore the noisiest and happening place for gossips and the sorts. It is therefore, a Yang sector of the house and should occupy the 4 Yang locations of TianYi, YanNian, ShengQi and FuWei.

Being a location for the females, it governs the reproduction organs, health and family upbringing of the household. The state of the kitchen will reflect the situation of one’s well being. If it is disorder, dirty and messy, it reflects the downside of the matron and all sorts of illness connected to the female of the house liked childlessness and so forth. Thus a Kitchen is one of the important sectors for a house.

A kitchen traditionally consists of a stove location, well and grinder. The dining table is usually located at the living although some may be located within the kitchen compound. Among this items liked the stove, grinder and well, the stove place the most important role in the Kitchen setup. Inevitably, kitchen liked any other rooms must receive good Qi.

There is a saying of Fire and Water clashes due to stove facing the well. Much applied in a traditional sense were the stoves is smoky and it poses an occupational hazard of falling into the well. In the modern context, it is somewhat inapplicable. However, to the FengShui purist, it is better to abstain having the sink opposite the stove whereas side by side is consider acceptable.

The Empowering BaZi Workshop Ever!

Excuse us for not updating Yifengshui so regularly. We would like to discuss more about 8 Mansions but at the moment, we would like to share with you the moments of our workshop on BaZi applications. It was a unique composition of students where to our surprised, most of them has prior knowledge in BaZi fundamentals. Coupled with our repeat students the workshop kicked off with high gears towards clashes, combination and transformations. The highlights are the manners of which we treat these notions of movements in the BaZi chart, almost unconventional from the usual norm. As reiterated by one student from the republic, by far this is one of the Best BaZi courses she has ever attended. The answer which was long sought after has been answered. We were also humbled by the attendance of students of other schools, which has largely benefited from the no holding back approach of Master Ng. The highlights ended with even more laughter at dinner.

Next, the other main course was day 2, specifically reserved for the 10 Gods. Our repeat students dwell on it with much ease whereas it was an almost guaranteed eye opener for the new students. Never had they seen the 10 Gods can be played with in such flexibilities and in such a manner that the chart could be read in so many ways! Words just cannot describe it all. The real "kung-fu" is how the 10 gods are in actions! You must SEE to believe it!

The closing day was the icing of the cake. Within the confine of the four walls, all secrets were revealed! We respect the guts of the volunteer to allow their BaZi to be dissected in minute details: a testimony that ZiPing BaZi can be as good and detailed as compared to its cousin, ZeWei DouShu. As one student in Penang puts it, he has never felt so "naked" before even the spiritual sides can be easily revealed. Unfortunately, we cannot reveal all the "scandalous" pointers that have been hiding deep within the chart. One word says all - MARVELOUS!

Bonus, BingBazi drop by all the way from Malacca to show us his pet techniques of investigating the spiritual dimensions of the BaZi chart. As time is drawing near to an end passed 8 pm, where most outstation and oversea students need to catch their flights, they had only THREE things to bring back - enormous exposure to REAL BaZi applications besides the good food that Seremban has to offer and endless laughter from our good bouncy Lenny, whom we owed so much for his effort to organize this workshop.

For our students of QuanYuan, we will take your suggestions to improve on our shortcomings and to organize more workshops of these natures especially in FengShui. As organizing workshops are not as simple as it is, as we have to balance logistics with the course contents, we are looking forward to bring you more quality expositions in Chinese Metaphysics by next year. 

To the numerous calls and emails for enquiry that we had received after the workshop either for BaZi and FengShui consultations, we regret to say that our appointment for the moment is quite full especially coming to the end of the year. We thank you for your interest in our services and please speak to Lenny should you need to contact us. His information is HERE.

Last but not least, Master Ng's message to his students is equally important especially on the secret techniques of XieZi. His full message is HERE.

We look forward to see you again in our courses line up for next year!

Problem With Eight Mansions

This method is considered to be the simplest forms of FengShui methodology. So simple that some experts reckoned it to be a flawed method. How could one be possible of dividing people into 2 sectors of East and West house? Made popular by the book called BaZhai MingJing or Eight Mansions Bright Mirror, some claimed to be authored by the monk YiXing while others, to be coming from the grandmaster Yang, it is subject to debate. However, the inevitable question remains, is BaZhai or Eight Mansions a SanHe or a SanYuan method? 

If it is a SanYuan method, why is the element annexed to the stars such as ShengQi takes TangLang (wood) instead of 1-6 (water) in accordance to the HeTu? TangLang star form in SanHe is a wood star. So, it must be a SanHe methodology. Such may not be true?

Yet, it is not SanHe per se. Practitioners of XuanKong DaGua (XKDG) understand that Eight Mansions is the macro view of XKDG. DaGua being the Hexagram of the YiGua (not YiJing), consist mainly of lower trigram being the host and upper trigram being the guest. In this case the host remains constant as the sitting Gua of a house. Therefore a house Gua remains valid in the application. Whereas the guests are the transformed Gua (wandering stars) or flipping trigrams. With both Trigrams it forms a Hexagram. This is DaGua when it is annexed to the Gua Qi and Gua Yun, in a macro view. So it must be SanYuan.

To illustrate such, take a Kun sitting house as an example. We cast a natal chart based on the LoShu and sitting of a house, in this case, Kun house. Based on the flipping method we superimposed the Eight Mansions star into the LoShu. Then we superimposed the Eight Mansion star as DaGua into the LoShu. Do you see the consistency as to why there are only 4 favorable stars and 4 unfavorable stars?

Saying thus, it opens up to myriads issues worth investigating. Is our theory wrong or simply our applications going so wrong? One conclusion, Eight Mansion is not as simple as it appears to be.On another note, do you really knows what make a ShengQi really growing Qi and not just name sake? What is the quality of YanNian and the qualifying factors of TianYi and not just those descriptions found on the books available in the market. It is all in the DaGua itself.

Horizontal Paths

Strangely, the 7 luminaries made up 3 distinct paths along the horizon. These paths are relevant to the movement of the sun and the moon as will stop at each stations marked by the static stars. These stations are known as the 28 lodges, further group into 4 categories known as the 4 celestial beasts, each governs the four cardinals respectively.

Needless to say, the 28 lodges also have its personification of its respective deities in the Daoist pantheon governing the auspiciousness of the relevant sector in relation to the visits of TaiYang (sun) and TaiYin (moon). Will such often seen as the basis of date selections?

Your Left Is My Right

No one reference point is the same?

Basic Chinese astrology states the 4 streams as TaiYi, TaiWei, ShaoWei and TianShi, referring to the HeTu with the reference point is ZiWei, the North Dipper. Some term these as the static part of the Milky Way?

Then the 7 luminaries of the 5 planets and our sun and moon made up the dynamic part of the Milky Way. We were blessed with the 4 seasons, night and day. Here, we establish directions as in North South East and West. Thus, the measurement of the lateral arises thanks to the dynamics of the 7 luminaries. When this direction is set out, where is our point of reference? Earth or the pole star?
