mae29 2 Report post Posted December 2, 2010 Ok, thanks I get it. So missing north will pose difficulties in business, which also means apply to career. In addition, also the person if dealing with water related career or bazi has water, adding on knowledge, then the missing north won't pose problem anymore? Am I right? Yes We must see things in these perspective to draw a complete picture! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kalimantan 6 Report post Posted December 2, 2010 Most FSM will just tell you what is in your life path without offering advice to unleash your potential. I am quoting here the message from my master JY: Change begins with self-awareness. Everyone is bestowed with their own unique personality, talents and potential since the day they were born. But how many of us are well aware of them? Awareness gets the ball rolling for change and paves the way to the path of least resistance to your success in life. When you are aware about yourself, you know your strengths and weaknesses, and what needs to be changed or improved. Or at the very least, be mindful of. Good advice from your master. Probing a little if u do not mind : can you provide some examples of advice to unleash potential from FS perspective ? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

mae29 2 Report post Posted December 2, 2010 My dear great Kalimantan, FS is FS. Bazi analysis, ziwei, face/palm/bond reading, etc.. are FORTURN TELLING. Those who provide such service are thus called fortune teller. These are methodologies developed by human to "uncover" the will of "heaven", by deploying different "templates" as you often coined them. Kuan Yin, Christian, ghost, Karma, buhdist....etc are RELIGIONS. Feng Shui adopts the principles of balance (Yin and Yang) to harness the natural life force or vital energies known as Qi which flow in the environment. Qi is created by the interaction of Yin and Yang which are opposing and complimentary forces in our Universe. Qi flows from the mountains (Yin) and gathers at the boundary of water (Yang). Our existence on earth seems to be controlled by external forces not fully comprehensible to the layman. The earth's gravity, electromagnetic fields and its planetary position relative to the sun has great influence on our quality of lives based on the energy cycles. Hence, the literal translation of Feng Shui is "Wind" and "Water", not Fortune Telling. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

mae29 2 Report post Posted December 2, 2010 How does Qi being formed & diminished and reformed? Qi flows ONLY "from mountains" to ONLY water? Good Qi & bad Qi all to water? What is/are energy cycles? Qi is a vital energy permeating our universe through cosmic interplanetary movements. The magnetic pulls of the planets exert a force which shapes the mountains, rivers and other land forms in our environment. According to tradition, Feng Shui is divided into two main streams: • San He • San Yuan These streams or systems have been existence for over 1500 years ago since the days of the Tang dynasty. Until today, the fundamental theories, formulas and principles behind the teaching have remained rooted and relatively unchanged. San He has to do with landscape and landforms in the environment. This system uses formulas to study the existence of Qi in the environment and how Qi influences the people living in the vicinity. It takes into consideration various structures be it natural or man-made such as buildings, roads and other contours of the land. The shape, size, distance, location and direction of the landform play a part in the quality of Qi. San Yuen is a system that measure how Qi changes with the passing of time and its effects on the residents of a property. This system uses formulas to calculate the types and quality of Qi that affect a property over a 20 year period. The time cycle comes about every 20 years starting from period 1 to period 9. We are currently in period 8 which runs from Feb 2004 to Feb 2024. The Qi in the environment vex and wane through the dynamic forces of time and a property’s fortune is thus governed by the changing cycles of Qi. And by extension, the luck of the residents can be predicted with the changing cycles of Qi through a mathematical formula. From this formula, the probable outcome and events affecting the lives of the residents are played out with amazing accuracy. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Thank for the response, I'm aware of the human-history development portion, basically the 4 questions have not been addressed. I'm not sure if the 20 yr period(why not 15yr or 30 yr?)is what you called "energy cycle". Edited December 2, 2010 by bepgof Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'm not sure if the 20 yr period(why not 15yr or 30 yr?)is what you called "energy cycle". This will be a very 'dry' post, but good knowledge if forumers are interested in history: In the Chinese almanac, there are a number of cycles used to track the movement of time and space. Astrologically, we know there are 12 animals signs, based on elemental qualities of Wood, Fire, earth, Metal and Water. Together, they formed 60 years cycle (12 animals x 5 elements). This 60 year cycle repeats in sets of 3 Yuan to complete 180-year cycles. From a FS perspective, each Yuan is divided into 9 cycles of 20 years each, which most of us are familiar with YUN, which sets into motion the directional fortunes for any given year, based on a complex combination of 2 other ancient Chinese mathematical formulas, the HE TU (river map) which is based on the 8 trigrams of the YI Jing, and the LO SHU 9 palaces (which is often called the Magic Square in the West). These 2 maps, when properly utilised in conjunction with the movement of zodiac, can be used to predict events, design homes, manage floor plans, influence important decisions, and help with anything else that requires some foresight and direction. Now to your questions on Qi flow to water, Yes: Wind is the transporter of Qi, and Water is the accumulator of Qi. We cannot control the direction that wind comes and goes from a place, but water, being an accumulator of Qi, can direct the flow of Qi. We can build a water feature with a flow and it is this flows that directs the Qi to bring fortune or misfortune to the house. We have to be aware that there is a different between flow of water and a body of water. Edited December 2, 2010 by mae29 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CoffeeMan 0 Report post Posted December 2, 2010 (edited) For auspicious Wang Qi, I will stay in that particular room for as long as I could to benefit from the auspicious energy. Ofcourse, I can place clock, TV, radio, fax, etc to activiate the good energy. Hi mae29, How do you locate your personal Wang Qi sector at home? Does it apply to the office as well? Thanks.

mae29 2 Report post Posted December 2, 2010 (edited) Hi mae29, How do you locate your personal Wang Qi sector at home? Does it apply to the office as well? Thanks. By flying stars theory. We are now in period 8, and the Wang Qi is Star 8, 9 and 1. I will also enhance the star 4 (for romance and academic endeavour) and star 6 (for power and authority). Of course, based on my Bazi, I will stay more frequent in my nobleman palace. For office, as someone mentioned before, unless you are the 'Tow Kay', else it is quite difficult to tap the good energy in the office. What I can do is to use 'micro' analysis and feng shui my desk. I divide my desk into 9 square, and just feng shui the way as I would for home. I placed my cup of water in the area suitable for Water. For preventing argument, for this year, I place red items in the south of my table, for example. Using 'Na Jia' theory, that is the advance 8-mansion theory, I can also fine-tuned the direction of my facing to a favouable direction.

Have you read a book titled "Flying Star Feng Shui Made Easy" by Lillian Too? I am thinking of buying it It is difficult to tap the good energy in the office because the location of the cubicle and facing of the desk are fixed? If I have the freedom to choose my cubicle and shift my desk, does it make the (good energy) tapping easier? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

"宫" should be translated as "space", not "palace". JY should know have known, otherwise..... Eight Mansion methodology has no time dimension, however, XKFX(flying stars)methology has time dimension - 河图 and 洛书 have no time dimension! Huh?IC IC , therefore no wind no Qi!. No water no retention of Qi!. Huh? Only "mountains" generate Qi? How Qi is being generated? Where/how Qi go to/diminish? These are important topics in landscape fs le. Only understanding such then enable ones to make use of Qi. Edited December 2, 2010 by bepgof Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
