Faulty FengShui Cure By A YangGong Practitioner?

One case study in question is about a Factory's FengShui located at the southern bank of the Klang river with its water mouth miles away towards the WestPort. This factory was audited by a Female YangGong trained practitioner apparently from the GanZhou lineage. 

Her findings are consistent to the YangGong's approach. The external formation suits Fire or Wood frame. However, the formation of the factory with its office block takes a metal structure instead. Therefore water exiting Prosperous would see that the factory would not able to prosper in a long run. It correspond well with the finding of YangGong method. 

The practitioner decided to restructure the property by establishing Fire Frame as such is accordance to the owner's BaZi, lacking Fire element. This remedy is also not wrong.

Now since everything is in accordance to YangGong method, why the results are not seen? From a YangGong perspective, there are other factors one in particular, speed in manifestation. It is a subject that hardly been disclosed among the lineage itself. The outsiders had no clue whatsoever. 

It is not compulsory to restructure the property's formation without first establishing the YinYang components. As at the moment, its YinYang is imbalance and no matter what has been done, it takes longer for its positive effect to manifest. There is really no problem with the method. The problem is with the application itself. So, please don't blame the floor of being so hard, if you cannot shit due to constipation - Chinese Proverb.

Bastardizing A YangGong Practitioner To Make A SaYuan PractitionerLooks Good

SanHe FengShui is not necessary Grandmaster Yang Method. One book by HHC actually summarized the method available in the SanHe stream and it is a testimonial that how corrupt the modern day SanHe has became. There is a great distinction between YangGong Fa and SanHe Fa. 

SanHe emphasis on Structure to establish Facing of the tomb or property is not wrong. Water exit determines the Structure and in return establishes the facing of the tomb or property. In this manner, the incoming dragon has been accounted for. The opposite of water exit is the incoming dragon and the opposite of facing is the sitting. Therefore, Dragon determines Sitting and Water determines Facing. It works in pair and it is the basis of SanYuan XuanKong DaGua. Bastardizing SanHe will not make a SanYuan practitioner any greater as they are the different faces of the same coin. 

Qi originated from the 8 locations, not knowing these the vessels are emptied. Mao mountain doesn't mean wood element only. Each mountain has its own 5 elements. Beyond the earth plate, you will find the 72 Earth Penetrating Dragon measuring Earth Qi. SanHe proponent uses it to measure incoming Qi or Dragon. If the 72 dragon element matches the water exit, it is an auspicious site. In theory one has to climb mountains to measure such and it is extremely troublesome to use SanHe for property which is unfortunately a terrible misconception. Bastardizing SanHe on such account will only show how weak a person's understanding of landform. 

Another misconception of the 72 Dragons are the jewel line. It is believed that only 4 specific stems JiaZi are ShengQi. The YiJing proponent comes with its own set of explanation and come to term with Turtle Shell Emptiness while the YangGong proponent explained that such comes from the use of 240 dragons. It is about the balanced of Heaven and Earth Qi. If ever someone said, earth Qi is only for graveyard FengShui and Heaven Qi for properties, it is confirmed, he knew nuts about FengShui. Even SanYuan has its own set of Heaven, Man and Earth Qi considerations.

A person's BaZi is the middle heaven that are able to unlock the effectiveness of the jewel. Most SanHe classics differ in terms of YinYang and the 24 Mountains. Without the oral secret, one cannot decipher the difference between fire pit and jewel. If your YinYang is not right, jewel can turn to fire pits and these are the apparent danger of becoming a half cooked SanHe or SanYuan master. There is really nothing wrong of using BaZi to unlock the potential in FengShui.

The most important thing in Yang Property FengShui is not to tap auspicious air flows. There is no such thing as auspicious air flows. SanHe rides on Qi in where it begins and SanYuan receive Qi in where it ends. Without knowing such, please shut up and go back to school to learn your fundamentals.

In summary there is nothing wrong with SanHe or SanYuan and if you understand both they are all YangGong method. The problem is with the applications. There is really no point of belittling others to make oneself looks great. It is never the spirit of the mysterious school of Chinese metaphysics. 

Confronting Y Again!

Reflecting one of the article in the now, defunct blog - 13Voices, about Property located on a WaterShed will sure to meet its doom, many of the observations revealed otherwise. It is a FengShui External Taboo no-1 that state, NEVER locate your property in a watershed. For us in QuanYuan, there is a way to go about it - fortunately. 

A “Y” configuration is either a road splits into two or both roads connect into one. The former is known to be a water mouth and the latter is known as the watershed. Our article entitled "Confronting Y" is a good reflection of such that it is never Bad FengShui if a property is located in a watershed subject that you know how to position your entrance. The HongKong master always refer to such as "Confronting SanSha".

A case in reference, Shop-A is located in a location that fulfilled its YinYang structure. Used to be a good F&B shop and it was audited by a YangGong master. Few years down the road, it ceased to operate due to high rental.

Shop-B is located in a location of the so called watershed. Many operators failed that include F&B operators. The last tenant rope in another not very well known master. The rest is history. It prosper liked nobody business. You practically have to queue up to get a seat.

The morale of the story, watershed FengShui is salvageable and if you know what to do it brings you windfall.

The Architecture of FengShui or The FengShui of Architecture?

Great Picture of the Building Interiors - click HERE

This building was designed incorporating the art of KanYu. It does not in any way look like a Chinese Temple. There is absolutely no Lions, Qilin, FuDogs, PiYao and the sort you can get in China Town. It is a modern avant-garde building built in the enclave of undulating terrains. 

We first attempted from ground Zero and land form compliance. No XKDG or fighting SanSha acrobatics. No Flying Star fly here and there. Just pure attempt to locate the main entrance given the site context. On ground, no clue of where the incoming dragon is as everywhere are trees and canopies of foliage. Only the roads indicated to us the high and low. No need the extravagance of helicopter ride even if your client is rich enough to burnt money for you. 

It is coming from Kan (1) moving towards Li (9). Obviously QKGB compliance would require the building to sit Qian (6) facing Xun (4). That is where it all goes so terribly wrong! XKDG state that Dragon and Facing must be prosperous so sticking the butt of your building in the Direct Spirit will be disastrous! Come on… be real? 

In a commercial set up, we preferred to receive Yin. The door is located to receive where Qi begins. Both conforming structurally Yin Wood receiving Officer exiting Weakening and receiving Prosperous and exiting Weakening GuaYun 4. Internally, Qi flow modulated by the ramp in Yin sequence, engineered to be retained in every floor. The main door is receiving YanNian BaZhai Qi. It is 8 Mansions but not those that is available in books. It is a perfect combination of 10 with stars of 6 conjunction 4. If one understood perfectly what 8 Mansion is there are only 1-6, 6-1 Qi as ShengQi and not any HeTu combination. It is where the understanding of star conjunctions in the Flying Star and BaZhai got so messed up. 

When the building is completed, on the top most level, we noticed where the incoming dragon is. What a relieved that it conforms to our earlier observation. Great work for the team involved from the Client to the Contractors.

XKDG - The One Version?

This one version is not yet the ultimate version but it is good enough to keep things moving for those who wish to understand the true nature of DaGua. The word XuanKong is purposely left out... 

Liked any FengShui method, what makes it ticks is the underlying application and what is probably known as Mid-Heaven BaGua. Without knowing this it is as good as theory. The LuoPan only shows you the Heaven and Earth plate. It never tells you about application. If really that XKDG is about Heaven Qi, how do one link it to Earth and Human? There are three components. Heaven, Man and Earth Gua. You have the 2 without the 3rd, things cannot work consistently. It is really not about date selection, tilted door and matching to the person's Gua. It is more of arranging YinYang from the 2 slices, 4 imagery and the mysterious Mid-Heaven Gua. This is sort of the very reason why so many courses offered out there are plain rubbish.

If you Google and search for Mid-Heaven Gua, probably you will find one version called YuanBao BaGua. It is the same species someone dug out from DunHuang cave years ago... Is this the Mid-Heaven Gua applied to XKDG? Ha... you just can't trace over that into your LuoPan and simply use it? Strangely, you will also come to notice in a very near future, some masters may be teaching Mid-Heaven Gua in their XKDG syllabus.

So this very Mid-Heaven BaGua is a top secret of any given school. Should I disclose what do they advocate to make their XKDG works? Drop me a mail or comment if you want to find out.

XKDG - Plain Rubbish Version

Yes, you read it right! There are plenty of plain rubbish versions of XKDG available in the market. If you search the net, you will be greeted with some form of rosy chart claiming to be the complete course of XKDG. Yet, the rosy charts like the one attached are nothing close to the truth. It only represents the current level of Master Practitioners out there in the market of English speaking community. I can’t blame them as it is a highly guarded secret among the real practitioners. 

Using XKDG together with QMDJ is another sugar coated scheme that is highly marketed these days. It is made popular by the late Zheng ZiNan (ZZN) coined with a mouthful - SanYuan DiLi XianTian XuanKong DaGua QiMen DunJia, in the late 1970s. All the sudden, you see fresh young Master Practitioners having claimed to have a piece of ZZN now offering such to the masses. If truly QMDJ is about asking favor from the Dieties, there is always a cheaper version to seek out consultation from the temple medium… 

Please get real!

Another Slanted Door In A Primary School?

I am speechless......

In BOLEHLAND, national type Chinese Primary Schools are deprived of funds. Whatever they need especially for the development of school or curriculum, public donations are called for. Yet I am surprised to find that funds had been utilized to tilt door for the HM office. It is costly to special made the timber door frame and yet it does not produced the desire result in FengShui terms.

This school has been through a roller coaster ride before its re opening. After the installation, the HM has been replaced and the rest was history. It is facing outflow but it does not in anyway affect the rest of the staff.

Morale of the story, don't simply tilt door at the expand of public funds. Karma will catch up soon.

Don't Be Too Happy If You Are Enjoying Good FengShui

Back in 2011, we mentioned of an outlet enjoying brisk business of selling Taiwanese Dessert, detail Here. 2 years down the road, an ongoing construction at the incoming Qi screw up everything! The entire dessert street is affected. In fact this very shop was broken in and its fortune turned overnight. When your fortune and good FengShui is still running, remember that it will not last forever.

T Junction Disaster

Property facing T Junction is usually deemed to have bad FengShui. However if it is a commercial property, it may well be a good location instead. This is true only on the basis of a common FengShui believed among FengShui masters especially from HongKong on the basis of if you want to strike wealth you must confront Three Killing (SanSha). How to go about it, is reserve for some other time.

The Taiwanese approach is similar but they don't call it Sha or Killing. It is just called receiving Yin formation. Either way there are strict procedural observation to conform to. If it fits into the profile of either receiving Yin or confronting  SanSha, the commercial property would prosper.

However, a case in mind between the junction of OUG and Old Klang Road, a newly minted shop offices remained vacant for many years. It is almost the same Yin Profile or SanSha and yet the results are far from excellent. Why?

After Tilting Door - What's Next?

We have a liking to investigate Door Tilting. In 2010, 4 years ago we had exposed a number of door tilting that does not conform to landform and did poorly. A recent makeover by this very Vagan restaurant on the door from being tilted back to its original form. Guess what? The business picked up like nobody business. Always packed for "Rabbit Food"? Strange indeed. I guess, the owner finally come to his senses that tilted door cannot work. What say you?

Another Mall In The Pipeline - Fengshuied?

No water observed. 

Sky canopied. 

Straight Boulevard. 

Funky Ceiling. 

FnB one sides. 

No people. 

Water features in Dimpled Bright Hall.

Faces downward road, flow outward.

Sunken Entrance.

Facing Gap.

No clarity of YinYang

..... Another Recipe for FengShui Disaster?

This Mall Failed Big Time - Why?

Award winning architecture. Big time FengShui failure. Why?

Observations: -

1. Cutting Feet

2. Wrong Entrance

3. Pulling Nose

Need XKDG or YangGong Fa to verify? No need la.....

Setiawalk and Water Water Everywhere

Drop by at Setiawalk recently for a FengShui audit. I cannot keep my eye away from the lush landscape with extensive use of water elements. Indeed coincident to the very notion of water-water everywhere. There are more to meet the eye but I would just disclose a little.

The center boulevard is high with F&B and very happening especially during the evening where pubs come alive and the opposite is observed for the shops facing outward, almost starving. The vibrant side is located along the Yin side of the man-made river and the Yang side takes a longer to peak.

Indeed the design of the river has YinYang almost unseen for an untrained eye. Some of the practitioners I brought along were surprised as all they see was water features and lush landscapes. They had missed the real ingredients besides saying, “Ah… the river is meandering, so it is sentimental water”. Those fans of HHC  should use this life example for their trainings based on his book on SanHe water formula. I must admit it is purely landform befitting into the context of both SanHe and SanYuan methodology. Wonder if it is the work of “JayWhy”?

While you don’t have to do much on each of the F&B outlets but to decide on the location of the main door, the office lots were a little disappointing with many vacant lots desperately to be filled up. Upon visiting, the answer is obvious. The design has not taken FengShui into consideration. Maybe the master’s work does not include such. 

Water Water Everywhere

A new English source on water method is now available, thanks to the painstaking effort of Master Hung HC. This book is by far, quite a complete genre of SanHe water method. Within it encompasses the 2 well known antagonistic camps of SanHe. One originated from the typical YangGong approach of 12 phases water method while the other the FanGua or Flipping Trigram, which was believed to have been in existence pre-dating YangGong himself.

Reading HHC’s lucid rendition of such heavy loaded classics with some strokes of humour, clearly justify the author’s ability in a self-confessed style of a YangGong convert.  This very book may even be a revival of interest in SanHe methodology.

It is whimsical to note that the ideation of GuTuo and CheYing, both monks, are illiterate and yet they are the masters of SanHe. It must be truly the work of hidden hands such as fairies with the collective of authors that we, today learnt about the Assitant Star Water Method and the 4 Major Water Mouths. Literati FengShui master like Zhao JiuFeng refined CheYing’s work further into a compendium of SanHe, called Earthly Principles 5 Verses. This classic laid the foundation for the Water Dragon method popularized by our modern writers liked Big Sister and a famous Grandmaster.

Yet no known author expanded on GuTuo’s work, leaving RuDiYan as the most “corrupted” classic with many later days addition with no citation whatsoever. Even HHC admitted that he has no idea where the sequence of the stars in the transformation comes about. 

With the passing of the YangGong Old Method Grandmaster Li at the ripe age of 100, some secret techniques of the YangGong School may have lost. Yet, HHC believes that the essence is preserved within another SanHe method by Ye JiuShen, called whatsoever name water method, published almost the same time with CheYing’s book. Being whatsoever, HHC took the liberty to call it Early and Later Heaven water method but it has nothing to do with Dragon Gate 8 Formations or QianKun National Treasure water methods.

Ye JiuShen took a “rocket-science” of his days approach in deploying 4 major water mouths where the Later Heaven components are similar to CheYing’s approach but the Early Heaven components are mind-boggling. So archaic is this Early Heaven that later day author dropped it altogether and named it simply as Later Heaven Water Method.

It is a good read...

奇门遁甲 Compendium

Invested on a book on QMDJ for less then USD200. Surprisingly it was written in the out of the norm manner, very unlikely the usual style of this notable author. A brief comparison with his other compendium series, usually with very little or no explanation at all charts. So, this is surprisingly a new approach which is also timely to market a course that focus into action plans for a handsome figure far beyond the affordable threshold of the normal guys on the street of Malaysia. 

The interesting things of this compendium is in fact, its content is far more comprehensive and complete as compared to some SanYuan QiMen DunJia live courses, once offered by his contemporary, that cost almost USD2,000.00. 

On this account, it doesn't really take a genius to reason out the underlying intentions but saying thus a cardinal rule of not taking a punch below the belt has almost diminished. 

By Chance?

What started as simple food outlet has its sales increased almost double. Not by chance especially when it is located at a poorly designed Mall. Where other eateries located at the same locality has to shut down, this very outlet triumph. The above chart is a representation of sales stabilizes through the year. This is measurable result.

When the measurable results are archived, the method works as it claims. It really does not make you an overnight billionaire, win a lottery or be the most famous person in this planet. A good practitioner, instead of self-glorification, will spend enormous of his time to fine tune his techniques for better deliverables.

Fine tuning involved many aspects. Speed is often the main criterion. There is a reason why three months for Qi refurbishment to make its entire cycle and why not 2 hours to bring about results? Does it means to say the faster the results the better is the method?

The ability to fine tune demonstrates the ability to distinguish which method for which purposes and for what speed and at what price. Debt collections and immediate cash flow turnover does not involved the whole set of FengShui makeovers as compared to a business turnover. The objectives, results and methods involved are entirely different.

If one assumed 5 arts as a tool, it is merely a vehicle to reach a destination. As such, FengShui method is indeed a tool and its objective is miracles. Would a miracle worker so easily depart his tool for a couple of thousands of dollars? 

p/s Gingkomon is only a fictitious name. 

Must Good FengShui Have The 4 Guardians?

On many accounts, one will read that to enjoy Good FengShui, one must be located in a spot embraced by the Green Dragon, White Tiger, Black Turtle and Red Phoenix. This is UNTRUE. Observation and case study revealed, 2 stalls selling the same local delicacies (Nyonya Kuih) labeled “A” and “B”, same sitting and facing, side by side with NO Green Dragon, White Tiger, Black Turtle and Red Phoenix embraces, same pricing, same Deco but stall “A” strive better as compared to stall “B”. The ultimate question is WHY?

FengShui = Metaphysics?

Calling FengShui as Chinese Metaphysics is just another naming convention. The tag 'meta' only denotes that 2 fundamentals  of FengShui that are still not scientifically proven. One is Qi existence and the other, its unit measurement. In a nutshell, it is a paradigm, not a science. 

Similarly, the notable 5 arts are grouped together as a convention rather then specific classifications. The 5 arts interlace one another in a flux, not in duality. 

Advertising a course as techniques that can can cure the sick, enrich the poor and smartened  the dull is a nicer way to say it is a magician making FengShui course. The Chinese called it the Art of the Immortal. Yet, the teacher is only a mortal. Now, that is a sheer contradiction. 

It is only true that cure the sick, enrich the poor and smartened  the dull are among the many reasons, why people are willing to invest hard earned money into this branch of metaphysics. Without such abilities, it does not worth its charms. FengShui consumers want miracles. Miracle is FengShui's commodities. In Maoist's view, it is the opium of the people.

FengShui methods that delivers such miracle is hard to come by. If the method works, it must work for everyone without exception. This in turn, is called consistency. The litmus test is its ability to bring about measurable results. 

Measurable results are statistical benchmarks set prior to the makeover, for example 50% increase in current sales value, better academic results in the next semester or improvement in human relationship. Sale increments are the easiest to benchmark. That is one reason commercial FengShui is so much easier to measure outcomes

LianShan GuiChang 连山归藏 and MingShi PanXian 明師盤線

Back in Sept 2012, I have written extensively on the Trilogy of The SanHe Lord of The Rings: Fellowship of The 24 Mountains, The Two Mountains and Return of The Seam Needle. It is interesting to note that Skinner mentioned about the “Outer Heaven Plate” being the Seam Needle in his LuoPan Compendium. The “Outer Heaven Plate” consists of the followings: - 

1. The 28 Asterisms. 

2. The 365 Degree of the Asterisms. 

3. Annotation to the Degree of the Asterisms. 

4. 60+ Contracting and Expanding Dragons. 

These are grouped as “outer” because it comes after the YangGong’s Heaven Ring. In some Chinese LuoPan, this “outer heaven” plate is given some special rendition such as XieZi, LianShan GuiChang 连山归藏 60 Dragon, MingShi PanXian 明師盤 Gold Division and so forth.  

Very little is written about this in the English literature. Google LianShan GuiChang 连山归藏 and MingShi PanXian 明師盤線, 2 thick Chinese books written respectively by Chen YiCheng 陳怡誠 revealed. These books appeared to be laden with formulas and charts describing the application of LianShan GuiChang 连山归藏 and MingShi PanXian 明師盤線. However, the actual contents related to LianShan GuiChang 连山归藏 and MingShi PanXian 明師盤線 is very minimal and ambiguous in nature. It generally specifies the usage of the “outer heaven plate”. 

In relation to LianShan GuiChang 连山归藏, the salient features are: - 

1. Verifying the spot based on Degree of the Asterisms. 

2. Degree of the Asterisms as the Host, 28 Asterisms elements is the Guest. 

3. 5 elemental interplay justify the Degree to be usable or unusable. 

4. Based on this spot sitting, deduced the DaGua elements using the 60+ Contracting and Expanding Dragons. 

5. Some permutation using NaJia is required. 

6. Similarly, water locations at the embrace must conform to 5 elemental interplay. 

7. This is also known as Six Relationship六親/ LianShan GuiChang 连山归藏 water method 水法. 

In relation to MingShi PanXian 明師盤線, the salient features are: - 

1. As the 1st book did not specify incoming or outgoing water in the Six Relationship 六親/ LianShan GuiChang 连山归藏 water method水法, MingShi PanXian 明師盤線 attempt to justify incoming or outgoing water positions. 

2. The justification uses YangGong 12 growth phases. 

The drawbacks are: - 

1. It never specifies which sets of 28 Asterism to use, knowing well that the 28 Asterism has since shifted? 

2. It did not clarify the origin of the LianShan GuiChang 连山归藏 elements attached to the 60+ Contracting and Expanding Dragons. 

3. Constructing the DaGua Hexagram and assigning its elements are hilarious. 

4. Ultimately, it has to succumb to use YangGong 12 growth phases to justify water exits.

If you have paid heftily for those courses that were taught based on the methods of these books, GOOD LUCK!
