Mirror, Mirror on the Wall….!

Mirror, mirror on the wall, what can Feng Shui do to make you feel AWE?!

In today’s new age Feng Shui application, the modern usage of mirrors is to ward off ‘sha’ qi or killing force or “poison” arrow. This mirror is also use by those who are more spiritually inclined to ward off ‘evil’ from coming into the house .

If you are a keen observer, you will notice that in some houses, the tenants would place an octagon-shaped plaque with a mirror in the center just above the main door. This super mirror is known as a Ba Gua mirror. Sometimes a regular mirror is used as a Ba Gua mirror.

The Ba Gua mirror comes in two shapes i.e. Concave-shaped and Convex-shaped. Typical application can be found in apartments or condominiums where the main door of two units is facing each other, divided by a corridor. If one neighbour puts a concave-shaped Ba Gua mirror, the opposite neighbour will put a convex-shaped Ba Gua to ‘counter-act’ the concave Ba Gua. Does this really help? We need to ask the two neighbours.

Put this into perspective. If one neighbour is antagonising the other to the extent that the other neighbour needs to counter-act its action, is this going to create a peaceful environment?

In another application, if you find a tree, a flag-pole, a road or a lamp-post located right in front of your main door, a Ba Gua mirror is used to neutralised the so-called sha qi as mentioned above. Imagine a mirror of about 3 inches in diameter neutralising a sha qi such a road, (if it is indeed a sha qi, but that is another story)…..? :-(

In yet another application, mirrors are recommended next to the dining table or somewhere near the dining table. The reason is to double or triple the amount of food for the household or to ensure that there will always be abundance of food on the dining table.

Sometimes we wonder how all these comes about……anybody wants to be in mirror-making industry?

Mirrors, in Feng Shui application, has its usage but not in the way the new age Feng Shui practitioner promotes it. How to use mirror to your advantage? This is a story for another day… ;-)

Feng Shui and Business

Today, our business in Chinese Metaphysics Consultation is very much focused on business entities. It is the most challenging and most rewarding, especially when you see skeptics turned ambassadors for Harmony Living

Bookshelf behind your back

Recently I was doing a Feng Shui assessment for a client and in the recommendation, I proposed that the child’s study table should be moved from location A to location B within the room.

However, the client was very concern when such a proposal was mentioned. She explained that she has been reading a lot of Feng Shui books and one of the big NO-NO is to sit with your back against book-shelf. According to the books she had read, the bookshelves behind you is a big Sha Qi and it is detrimental to the well-being of a person sitting there.

I explained to the client there is no cause for concern and that the Sha Qi does not manifest from the bookshelf. If it is, there will be no place in our home that we human can live in because there will be similar Sha Qi to be found in every corner of the house, not only bookshelf.

Also, all libraries and book stores will be deserted and empty because you will find more sha qi there than in your own home.

Fate-Calculation, Superstitious

I have always comes across people who would brushed aside Fate-Calculation as superstition and at the same time, there are people who are still fascinated by it. I would like to quote a paragraph from a book titled “ Chinese Mathematical Astrology”, authored by Ho Peng Yoke.

“…if we were to extend to some of these traditional Chinese methods of fortune-telling the same amount of tolerance that we accord to many of our modern efforts of predicting future events, such as weather forecasting, stock market futures, Gallup polls, etc. – none of which ever guarantees precise accuracy but nevertheless are accepted as legitimate exercises – it can be demonstrated that the Ziping method of fate-calculation is one of those methods worthy of our attention. The Ziping method does not use scientific instruments to observe temperature, air pressure, humidity and air movement as the weather forecaster does, nor computers to analyse the trend of share prices like some stock-market consultants, nor public opinion polls like the political analyst ….. but it is consistent with the same principles that explain traditional science. It does not involve the supernatural and hence the word ‘superstitious’ is not applicable….”

Something we can all think about.

Six Star Columbarium

Was just reading an article on Singapore’s “The Straits Times” newspaper today – Six Star Columbarium. It is going to be Asia’s largest luxury columbarium to be open by 2011. One of the investors is a Malaysian company which is investing SGD50 million to renovate the existing facility in Choa Chu Kang.

Feng Shui Excursion

The last two days was one experience that any Chinese Metaphysics student would not forget. The students were exposed to a daily routine of a Feng Shui Master . The students get the chance to actually witness some of the Feng Shui techniques being deployed and seeing the results that Feng Shui promises to bring. The two-day experience was priceless . For all the money spent in other schools, students do not even have a slightest opportunity to SEE real Feng Shui at work and generating the results that is required.

During the course of two days, we visited the Columbarium at Mandai, the Ong Family tomb at Bukit Brown (one of the biggest tomb in Singapore), retail outlets, F&B outlets, residential houses, fund-managers office and apartments. The students were shown the different methods used in different settings as mentioned above. Imagine the Yin and Yang Feng Shui being deployed in the core of a city like Singapore!

Do we still need to see the dragon in China? Dragons are everywhere, if only you can find it!

BaZi Practitioner

We have just completed a 3-day BaZi Practitioner class for a group of students from Singapore, Malaysia and Thailand. It was an eye-opener for some of the students as they have not seen some of the techniques that was used to read a BaZi chart. We have students who have studied from other masters before and it was refreshing for them that a BaZi could be read in a systematic and structured way. We provided clarity.

One student commented that one of the key components that are not covered extensively by other BaZi schools is the palace reading. A simple palace reading is able to convey much information than the so-called “advance” method of reading a BaZi chart . The “advance” method confuses many students that resulted being not able to use by new students embarking on this new study. For beginners, a positive reading builds confidence that will enable students to absorb advance techniques without much difficulty. This is our objective for all our students.

Any more classes coming up? Stay tuned.
