Old Law of Attraction

“When I run after what I think I want, my days are a furnace of distress & anxiety; If I sit in my own place of patience, what I need flows to me, and without any pain.

From this I understand that what I want also wants me, is looking for me and attracting me. There is a great secret in this for anyone who can grasp it.”

~ Jalal-al-Din Rumi

Five Animal Frolics

The 5 Animal Frolics or in Mandarin known as Wu Qin Xi (五禽戏) – The Five Animal Frolics can be regarded as the earliest form of Medical Qigong in Chinese history, dating back to Eastern Han Dynasty (25-220).

The creation of Wu Qin Xi (五禽戏) was attributed the famous Chinese Physician and Surgeon Hua Tuo (110-207) who had great skills as a surgeon, acupuncturist, herbalist and knowledge of human anatomy.

Wu Qin Xi (五禽戏) is a set of Daoyin (deep stretching) and Tu Na (deep breathing) exercise that imitates the actions of animals based on the habits of the tiger, deer, bear, monkey and bird.

Founded by Hua Tuo (华陀. 145 – 208 CE) – often referred as the God of Chinese Medicine, benevelont master physician, also considered the first Chinese Surgeon.

Besides treating his patients when they were ill, Hua Tuo was also keen to recommend physical exercises for people as a method of rehabilitation, recovery, and most importantly for prevention.

Wi Qin Xi (五禽戲) based on the Tiger, Deer, Bear, Ape and Crane. It is thought that his discoveries included much more but were destroyed during the burning of his manuscript during his execution.

Hua Tuo had emphasized that regular physical exercise was key to maintaining and curing illness, as it strengthened the body, promoted circulation and improved health. His grave is found today in Xuzhou, Jiangsu and he is honored in the Huazu Temple in Peixian county. His innovations and miraculous abilities earned him the respect as the God of Chinese Medicine (神医).

Wu Qin Xi (五禽戏) is practiced by imitating symbolically and physically the movements, breathing and sounds of the five animals. It consists of some standard forms of movements, spontaneous movements and sounds, and simple but effective techniques.

The symbolic connotation of the animals can have great effects on state of mind and behaviour. The dignity and masculine power of the tiger, the elegance of the deer, the earthiness and soft strength of the bear, the graceful and free spirit of the bird and the liveliness and vigilance of the monkey, all imprint their marks on the consciousness and assist in building confidence and self-esteem.

Wu Qin Xi (五禽戏) – The Five Animal Frolics also works the Five Elements in Chinese Metaphysics. Therefore, it make sensible view to pick one of these frolics to work and replenish the element one is lacking instead of putting objects and placement.

虎戏:木 - 怒、肝、魂
猿戏:火 - 喜、心、神
熊戏:土 - 思、脾、意
鸟戏:金 - 忧、肺、魄
鹿戏:水 - 恐,肾、志

连山, 归藏, 周易

一)连山易首于艮卦,艮为山,所以称为“连山易”。三元盘以“一六四九双双起,夬姤剝復颠颠倒,往来阖辟团团转,卦象顺逆爻爻到”邵子(邵雍)圆图为连山易。三元盘以此为天元盘,自乾夬向左转至復,自姤向右转至坤。经云:阳从左边团团转,阴从右路转相通。左转乾兑离震初爻为阳,所以称为阳仪界。右转巽坎艮坤初爻为阴,所以称为阴仪界。

二)归藏易起于坤卦,因万物藏于坤。二十四山藏于后天八卦内,所以壬子癸三山藏于坎卦。后天八卦主时令,随斗柄所指,春夏秋冬四时之流行,二十四节气之进退。后天八卦为卦运,所以三元地理以此为地元盘。一运坎卦藏于坤、二运坤卦藏于巽、三运震卦藏于离、四运巽卦藏于兑、五运无卦之上十年寄于四运,下十年寄于六运藏于艮、七运兑卦藏于坎、八运艮卦藏于震、九运离卦藏于乾。

三)周易为文王卦,一卦六爻,一卦可变八卦,亦可变为十二卦,与错卦综卦则颠倒、倒颠、爻反、通卦等等,一卦可变为二十多卦,用于收山出煞、收龙纳水坐向与转变元运之用。三元地理以此为人元盘。

三易:变易、简易、不易

变易,就是说宇宙万事万物都是变化无常的,除了变化,一切都不会长久,只有变化才是唯一不变。我们现在这一瞬间的状态,下一秒就发生了变化,我们的思想,情感,时间,空间,都在随时随地、无时无刻的不发生这变化,没有任何事物是一成不变的,因为非变不可!南师说:《易》先要知道“变”,高等智慧的人,不但知变而且能适应这个变,这就是为什么不学易不能为将相的道理了。

简易,宇宙间万事万物,有许多是我们没有办法了解的。我最接受的不了就是现在人们,把自然科学不能解释的,还不了解,未能探究的,全部一股脑说成伪科学,迷信!《易经》就是古人懂得了宇宙的事物,用八卦的图案,加上时间、空间的关系,用特定的公式推算,就可以推算出结果来。这就是复杂的道理,变得简化,所以叫作简易。《易经》首先告诉我们宇宙间的事物随时都在变,尽管变的法则很复杂,宇宙万事万物再错综复杂的现象,在我们懂了原理、原则以后,就非常简单了。

不易,是指变易中还有不变的道理,变的是现象,不变的是规律。不变的是能变出万象的,永恒存在的那个东西。这个不变,宗教称之为“上帝”、“神”、“主宰”、“佛”、“菩萨”。哲学家叫它“本体”,科学家叫它“功能”。所以万事万物,其道简易,其形变易,其规律不易。

Space Cleansing

Feng Shui Space Cleansing: 6 Steps to Ridding Your Home of Negative Energy

STEP 1. Clear stale energies from the house.
If you have recently moved, you might be feeling some residual energy from past residents. If that’s the case, then consider using this technique: open everything that is closed. In short, you should open all doors, all windows, all cabinets, all boxes, anything that is closed should be open.
Then, walking from the front door in a clockwise pattern, circle each room and go into the next while ringing a bell. Be sure to ring the bell in the corners of rooms and in closets where negative energy can remain trapped.
You may want to proceed through the other five steps before closing everything up again.

STEP 2. Use salt to cleanse an area.
Another tip is to use salt to remove negative energies. You can wipe the walls with salt or sprinkle salt into the corners of the room. Be sure to sweep up the salt and throw it into the trash outside of your house.

STEP 3. Feed your ghosts rice.
If you feel extreme negative energy, you can also try sprinkling rice around the perimeter of your home, beginning at the front door and walking in a clockwise fashion until you come to the door again. The rice will draw the energy outside and away from the interior of your home. This is a terrific method of ridding your home of negative energy and space cleansing.

STEP 4. Scent the air to clear out negative energies.
Use smoke from incense or from herbs, such as lavender for transcending problems, eucalyptus for healing, or mint for prosperity. The wonderful and therapeutic scents of incense or herbal essential oils are all excellent ways to introduce beneficial energy and remove negative energies from a single room or your entire home. Light incense while you proceed to Step 5.

STEP 5. Use light and sound.
Light and sound are two very effective “yang” treatments that help to dispel and remove negative energies. Tinkling wind chimes and bright crystal rainbows or lit chandeliers are both excellent ways to introduce beneficial – and cleansing – energy to your space.
Using a bell or singing bowl, start at the front door and begin ringing your bell or bowl. Walk in a clockwise direction from the door and through each room. If you have dark corners in a room, make sure to ring the bell in each corner of the room. After completing the downstairs, go upstairs. If you have done all five steps, it’s time to close up all the doors, windows, cabinets, and drawers, and then go to the front door and in a clockwise circle, ring the bell/bowl in three times around your front door. Next, proceed to Step 6.

STEP 6. Take a salt bath yourself.
In the process of space cleansing your home, it might be a good idea to cleanse yourself as well. It is possible that you are bringing negative energy home from work or from the outside world.
Soak in a tub with sea salt or make your own sea salt scrub and wash your body in the shower with salt. Salt will purify you and remove negative energies from your body. This is especially helpful if you work in a hostile or gossipy environment, and will help you clear negative energy from your body.

Add 2 pointers to this post/ quote; Anticlockwise is for cleansing while Clockwise is for enhancement. Smoke, Scents & Smudging are also effective methods in Space Cleansing and Enhancement.

As we approaches winter solstice, some usual questions I get from enthusiast, interest groups, friends and loved ones relating to Annual Feng Shui. Hence, decided to spend some time and pen it down for ease of reference, these are some of the common comments and keynotes about 2020. As well as an entry point for people who are new to Feng Shui. Some of these concept are not widely circulate in publication. Hence, may cause some subtle confusion, drop me a note/ comments if you need the specifics.

For Annual Analysis, there is (personally) a need to divide into those impact by stars and those induced by TaiSui (Yes, as a Practitioner, there is a need to split it up). Those that dealt with flying stars and purple white astrology will follow winter solstice as the point of change. While those induce by TaiSui shall follow the Start of Spring based on the 24 seasonal chart.

For 2020, I would be using star 7 in the middle palace,  plot thru the 9 grid (3 x 3) to get the annual flying star chart for the year. With that, the annual flying star: 7, Disaster Star 5 is in the East, Sickness Star 2 lands in the South, while the Quarrelsome Star 3 sits in North; this are basically the negative stars to take note. These stars only become ‘alive’ when a Taiji (太极) is formed.  The auspicious greedy wolf, military officer, academic officer and prosperous stars lands at Northeast, Southeast, Southwest, Northwest and West respective. Hopefully, the main door is bless with 1 of these auspicious stars. The effects will take place between 22 Dec 2019 thru 21 Dec 2020.

This a quite a fair year because the robbery star 7 is lock in the middle. Meaning 1 less negative stars to worry about in terms of flying stars FengShui. What most of us need to be concerned of is the East, North and South; generally house in Singapore are high rise and North-South facing with bedroom in the East.

The sector Northeast and Southwest which was pretty lousy in 2019 has become better in 2020. Blessed by flying stars 1 and 4. Which is for wealth, prosperity, growth and academic endeavours. And, further enhance by annual Wealth and Nobleman. Young parents, especially mummy should make use of this opportunity to upgrade themselves in terms of knowledge and skills.

Those induce by Mr. TaiSui is more straightforward. TaiSui is Rat, the house with Horse sitting will immediately feel the health and monetary impact. Especially so, it the residents zodiac is horse or with life Gua 9. It not the end of the world, let be a little scientific about it. There are things we can do like take cautious in investment decision and better health habit and risk adverse.

When TaiSui comes from the direction of Rat; and in form school Rat direction has a poison arrow or road clash angled toward the property. This is the 3 Affliction Sector (三合冲吊) meaning the trio combination of people with zodiac dragon, rat and monkey might be afflicted in Heath, mishap or in form of daily grinds. This differs from the 4 pillar / BAZI way of analysis. This is not widely practice and also not commercially mentioned in most paid consultation by practitioner and FSM, I added here for knowledge and completeness sake.

As for those 3 Killings, 4 Deity, 5 Tigers and what not, the terms and name kinda speaks for itself – they are the badass; ideally no renovations or large movement in these sectors. The qi flow need be stable and still, both internally and externally. If there is external arrows or clash, would need to further assess the house qi (宅体) before concluding the effects and whether further actions is needed.

In making use of the Auspicious sectors. I’m more for application rather than placement. As the saying 3 auspicious overcomes 1 negative. In Feng Shui, I advocate the use of 3 auspicious sector to raise the house Qi (宅体). Look at it as boosting the immunity to overcome the harm and affliction for the year.

For placement wise (if you really need to use placement) – based on personal experiences, ONLY this 3 methods: indoor plants with bigger leaf size is preferred, for water aquarium the currents need to be gentle and clear, soil and murky water is not preferred. Alternatively, would be the use of sphere shaped crystals, quartz vibration is generally a good choice. The whole idea behind placement is help users set in and settle the personal intentions.

Guess I’ll stop here otherwise it sounds naggy. Drop me a comment if there is any specifics you needed clarification into.
