mae29 2 Report post Posted December 2, 2010 Huh? IC IC, the Chinese sexagenary cycle formed by 12 animals x 5 element, not the 10 heavenly stems(天干 and 12 earthy branches(地支). http://img43.imageshack.us/img43/548/60yea...artablepage.jpg http://img543.imageshack.us/img543/548/60y...artablepage.jpg Huh? IC IC 河图 based on 八卦;Not 八卦 based on 河图 and 洛书。 http://img148.imageshack.us/img148/8154/44182979.jpg http://img411.imageshack.us/img411/2124/54967552.jpg 9 "palaces"- "palaces" is a serious wrong translation of "宫". "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. 10 heavenly stems = 5 elements x 2 polarity (yin & yang) 12 earthy branch = 12 zodiac signs Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mae29 2 Report post Posted December 2, 2010 10 heavenly stems = 5 elements x 2 polarity (yin & yang) 12 earthy branch = 12 zodiac signs Hi, bepgof, You seemed to have vast knowledge in Chinese metaphysics. 8 mansion has no time dimension, hence it is used to arrange the auspicious location such as for bedrooms for long term. Else, for quick results, then flying stars theory is preferred. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CoffeeMan 0 Report post Posted December 3, 2010 I only buy books written by Joey Yap. You can read his book "Pure Feng Shui" which provides good tips and solutions to enhance career, wealth, health, relationship, etc. Thanks, mae29 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Isn't it ridiculous to group people to 4 palace each? Why do you say for quick results, use flying stars preferred? Guaranteed? Heard a lot of controversy too!

Ivy1981 11 Report post Posted December 4, 2010 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? You should buy both from Joey Yap and Lilian Too. You will notice that Joey Yap has certain pointers disagreeing with the latter. If you are stuck in an office position, quite difficult unless you can 'arm wrestling' with the boss and make some position request. I've tried before all those placements.....Qi Lin , money tree etc and all but useless. There are some materials written by JP but you'll be surprise that's not complete until you receive newsletter from mastery academy. Overall, reasonably written.....but works or not......cross your fingers. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

My boss is v flexible. Changing cubicle and desk are ok, as long as the requests are not too far-fetched Did u find out the reasons why your Qi Lin and money plant are not working? Wrong positionings and facing? Are those advises (for Qi Lin and money plant) coming from JP, JY or LT? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CoffeeMan 0 Report post Posted December 4, 2010 Why you wrote "only" by Joey Yap? Lilian T leh? Both of them graduated from mr yap. That's interesting. Both graduated from the same teacher and yet have different views. One of them must be not paying attention in the class or has a lot of patterns (just joking). I guess they start to have diff views as they gain valuable experience over the years. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

One of them must be not paying attention in the class or has a lot of patterns (just joking). I guess they start to have diff views as they gain valuable experience over the years. The difference between the 2 masters is that: JY practised classical feng shui - no placement of items as he does not want our house to end up like "Chinese restaurants!". As for Lilian Too, she is more towards 'Taoist'? She emphasised alot on hanging trinkets, ornaments, etc. I don't fancy these stuff although I have initially bought some symbolic items from her outlet at Vivo City.

As bepgof had mentioned, 8 mansions do not have time dimension. For flying stars, beside the base natal house chart, there are annual influence, monthly flying stars and even daily flying stars. Result is as fast as within hours if activated correctly. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

For the latter, you will notice that he demarcate all important rooms based on 8 mansion theory. It is claimed by some classics scripts that bazhai was not authentic. I do not want to debate about this as this comes from the all famous 杨救贫. So maybe its good to hear JY who claims to go for classics practises bazhai also.
