A couple of months back, I had a friend who was trying to find tenants for an office space that has been vacant for some time. They had tried to rent out the place but not many interested parties called up to view the place. Advertisements on the internet, newspapers, flyers did not help. And all these while, the property market was booming like wild fire.
My friend suggested that I take a look at the office and see what can be done to attract more viewers that have the potential to sign the tenancy contract for 3 years or more.
With the floor plan and LuoPan on-hand, we went to the vacant office and started taking measurements. I noted the directions the office building was facing, the door locations, and some other measurements.
I pointed out that there are certain locations within the office that is very important and that the Qi flow to that area is necessary.
After a couple of days, I was told that the total number of calls received increased gradually and they finally got the office rented out after about 3 weeks.
The method used is equally potent when you have difficulty in selling your house or property. Many cases have been done and the required results are always astounding.
Whether you are a property owner, a trader, or a property consultant and if you have difficulty selling the property, there is a solution that you can tap on - Chinese Metaphysics.

Getting a good night sleep
A few months ago, a family friend was telling us that she had trouble sleeping, a lot of things were going through her mind, and life was full of petty people. It has been a few months that these have been happening and it was affecting her health due to the lack of sleep.
Out came my Luo Pan and I did a quick check on the main door, her bedroom door and her bed position. It was immediately clear to me why she had trouble sleeping, with bad dreams and restless nights. The position of her bed was aligned in a direction where the energy was unstable, not suitable for a good night sleep. Because of the unstable Qi, it was causing her mental stress and not supporting her well-being.
I began to check on the other sides of her bedroom, to find out if it can be used to position her bed. After taking a few more measurements, I recommended that her bed be placed against the wall on the opposite side and see if it improves her sleeping situation.
We met up recently over the holidays and she updated us she could sleep much better after changing the position of her bed. While the petty people was still around, they are more manageable and things are looking brighter.
If you have trouble sleeping, your child keeps you awake during the early hours of the morning, having constant nightmares, bad dreams, you may want to do a quick check of your bed position and the overall Feng Shui of your home. Who knows, it could save you trips and money to the doctors for sleeping pills.

Practise Makes Perfect
In your studies of Chinese Metaphysic subjects, just how many of you have a good idea of what to expect prior to attending a new class? Most of us don't. We can have the entire syllabus we care to request for but at best, we will only have some vague ideas. If you do, you are most likely a repeat student, a professional in disguise or studied from somewhere else before.
Even as a repeat student, you will find that there will always be new information. The question is, are they really new information?
If you have been recording the lecture notes, you will find that some of the so-called "new" information has already been covered. In your previous class, perhaps, it was simply just not emphasized. Go through your notes again and you will know what I mean.
Because of time constrains, we can only absorb what we can understand and leaving those that we cannot absorb to a later date. Very soon, we tend to forget those we have marked "to be revised". By the time we want to get to it, we would have totally lost it.
My advise is, practise makes perfect!. It is only through lots of practises that will reinforce what we have studied and confirm our understanding. It is also through practises, we will discover what we have missed out and what we need to do to find the answer. No question is too simple to ask.
Sometimes significant statements are made during class. But because you have yet to fully understand the complete picture, you do not realised the importance of the information. It was only after a few tries, and knocking on various doors that you realised "Hey, so that is what it is all about!"
As the saying goes, "The most profound are the most basic!"

Are you getting the right stuff?
Anyone who has just been introduced to Feng Shui will get to know about Flying Stars and 8 Mansion. Flying Stars and 8 Mansion has been made popular by various authors in the recent years, targeting especially the non-chinese speaking audiences. Flying Stars is known as Fei Xing ( 飛 星 ) and 8 Mansion is known as Ba Zhai ( 八 宅 ) in Chinese language. Fei Xing and Ba Zhai is the simplest and most basic of all the theories and formulas in Feng Shui. However, how many of you have tried them and successfully yielded effective results?
Judging from the amount of questions from the many public forums on the Internet, Feng Shui enthusiasts and practitioners alike are pretty much confused. The one big question remains,…. Is the information circulated currently the real stuff that can be used effectively?
In many books on Ba Zhai Feng Shui, Life Gua and House Gua is often discussed. Life Gua is related to an individual and it is based on the year of birth of a person. A House Gua is related to a property (“House”) and it is based on the sitting of the property. East Group and West Group Gua are used to categorize the two different sets of Gua numbers. Those who belong to the East Group will find that their auspicious property is those sitting on North (Kan Gua), South (Li Gua), East (Zhen Gua) and South East (Xun Gua). Similarly, the West Group people will find that their auspicious property is those sitting on North West (Qian Gua), West (Dui Gua), North East (Gen Gua), and South West (Kun Gua).
Each Gua number is divided into four “good” segments and four “bad” segments. The “good” segments are Sheng Qi, Tian Yi, Yan Nian and Fu Wei while the “bad” segments are Hua Hai, Wu Gui, Liu Sha and Jue Ming. All of you are told to use the “good” segments within the house, sleeping directions, stove directions, sitting direction as often as possible and avoid the “bad” segments at all costs. These are all discussed in great length.
Wow. Can you imagine what the world will be like if everyone were to follow this principle?
In the real Ba Zhai Feng Shui, every single segment, “good” and “bad”, can be used for effective results. We are not even talking about Na Jia sub-sector directions. We are talking about sectors such as Jue Ming, supposedly to be the worst of the lot, and others such as Liu Sha, Wu Gui and Huo Hai. We can actually use them to tap on auspicious energy for wealth, health, and relationships. The question is how to use them?
Now, this is the real art, the real stuff……

To tell or not to tell, that is the question!
Recently someone posed a question during class, "When you read someone elses BaZi chart and you come across a potentially heart-breaking situation such as death/separation, critical illness, extra-marital affairs, do you immediately tell them, for example, they will die soon or that their spouse is having an affair? Do you tell them that destiny is fixed and that there is nothing they can do? Do you also tell them that they need not to seek a second opinion?”
One of the first thing we need to learn as a BaZi practitioner is responsibility. We need to be responsible for the things we say because the repercussion is so great that it can change ones life drastically, for better or for worst. Clients come to consult us because they needed help. In return, we must provide appropriate solutions, to find a way out of their predicaments and NOT make it worst than before they seek our help.
Our job is to determine the potential root-cause of the problem. A client comes to see us and we see that there is a potential for a heart-attack to occur during a certain time, do we say they will suffer from heart-attack and die? Our job is to identify that possibility and get them to seek medical examination as soon as possible. It is not our job to provide a medical diagnosis and forgone conclusion.
Life is an amazing journey. There are many ways to solve a problem. Why do we need to close ourselves to only one solution to solve a problem? We should always be searching for alternate "route" until we have exhausted all options. Please do not be "God" and tell the clients that our analysis is final and there is no need to seek a second opinion. That is the most irresponsible action we can do as a BaZi Practitioner.
A BaZi chart tells us our potentials and opportunities that we can use during the journey of our lives. It is telling us what we are good at, what we can do to make our life a more comfortable place to live in. However, we still need to take the necessary actions to turn the opportunities into reality. It does not happen just because your BaZi chart says so.
