Facing, Flying star & Liu Fa

It has been a long time since the last post. I have always been asked about the impact of facing and comments on door tilting art. However, I am always reluctant to talk about it as Liu Fa has a different opinion about it. Moreover, Liu Fa do not advocate door tilting which is a common practice by Da Gua and Flying star practitioners. Until recently I am pestered to explain the usage difference between Xuan Kong Liu Fa as compared to Xuan Kong Fei Xing. I thought it may save me the future naggings by posting a short commentary in this blog.

Xuan Kong Fei Xing emphasize on prosperous sitting and facing (旺山旺向). In practice, the star combo at the main door generally dictates the auspiciousness of the house.

What are the options if the current Period is not suitable?

Change the facing

Tilt the door to an auspicious facing with stars combo such as 68, 61 etc

Of course will need to conform to 64Hex and date selection will be involved(天地人)

Replace the Heaven’s Heart (换天心)

Renovation works to extent of replacing the entire roof-top

Find another auspicious house and move on

Xuan Kong Liu Fa emphasize on prosperous Mountain and Water (旺山水). In practice, the Feng Shui formation of a site selection dictates the auspiciousness of the house.

What are the options if the current Period expired?

Find another auspicious site and move on  

Continue to stay as it is:

If the current site conform to Cheng Men Jue (the correct facing), one needs lower the expectation on prosperity but will be safe and peaceful

If the current site is able to receive secondary Qi of the arrived Period, one could replace the Heaven’s Heart. It is a solution but not necessary when the facing is correct. In principle it is still possible to effect the change of Qi to the arrived Period without replacing the Heaven’s Heart. Do you know how? 

Facing do not determine the auspiciousness of the site.

But it does add points to the already auspicious site!

The correct facing depends on the Feng Shui formation (Ci Xiong 雌雄+ Jin Long 金龍 + Ai Xing挨星) of the site.  

So what is Liu Fa approach to a house that is not able to receive Qi?

• Internal Feng Shui (especially for units in high rise buildings)
• Capture the prosperous Qi of the current Period (抢旺) by changing the door facing

Oops am I contradicting myself? First there is no formation to set the correct facing so what is the approach trying to capture? Secondly, how can facing be changed without door tilting?

The point here is what does ‘capture’ and ‘facing’ really mean to you? 

If you know the answer you are a step closer to Xuan Kong Core Principle (心印). 

However, this technique is a short term secondary measure. One should focus on site selection (Ci Xiong + Jin Long ~ 金母诀) which award 60% grading to your house.

If you are good in math or a shrewd businessman, you should know that 60% is a good head start in this imperfect world.

Well this is my 2 cents point of view.
