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……
