Petty theft instead of robbery

Yesterday morning I passed by the Standard Chartered branch that was robbed in 7 July 2016. According to the media, a man allegedly handed a note over the counter at the branch and made off with tens of thousands of dollars.
There are few other neighboring banks but have you ever wondered why the robbery take place in Standard Chartered? The bank is facing North East about 60 over degrees which correspond to 寅 Yin in the Luopan. As 2016 is 丙申Bing Shen year many would blamed it to clashing with Taisui. Before you passed any judgement, both the Citibank and HSBC bank facing are fairly similar to Standard Chartered and why they are not affected?The answer lies in the land formation. According to the Naked Eye Feng Shui, this is a typical formation that usher petty theft although it is classified as robbery instead. Now what if Standard Chartered is not a bank but an ordinary shop and will the robber rob the neighboring banks instead? What do you think?

That's why I always tell people Feng Shui have to be 'Seen' and not measured. In this case if you recognized the form correctly, the Gua image can be deduced logically based on Yi 易. Thereafter, it is just a matter of when will the event occur and in this case it happen on Taisui clash year 寅申冲. This real life example depicts the importance of land form which comes first before Qi formula: "巒頭不真，理氣無用". However, on the other hand, form requires Qi and time as a trigger to set the event going. 

 

House selection with Xin Yi Divination

3 Aug 2016, I was helping a friend to select apartment. However, I was unable to accompany him with the house viewings. I instructed him to app me the unit number at each premises. 

The last viewing at 1641 hours, and according to the Gua I told him the unit's front and right side is co-joint to a neighbor unit. Apparently, there is a need to turn a corner to gain access to outside .

Hmm seems like I am wrong about a unit at the front and right side. Not quite I am actually right about it. Look at the following picture. 

Are you a Feng Shui expert?

The ability to identify by looking which is the most prosperous shop along a stretch is considered basic skill in Feng Shui;

The ability to identify which has the highest net income along a stretch of shops is considered intermediate skill in Feng Shui;

The ability to identify which are the shops and at which years they make profit, even or loss is considered advance skill in Feng Shui,

However, if you can identify which are the shops that are affected and resulting in business failure due to the opening of neighboring shop, you are considered an expert.

Which level are you at?  

Quiz: By looking at the picture, are you able to identify which hairstyle saloon, A or B has better business?

Divination, Xin Yi Technique - Find my ring

19/04/2016 I received a call my client seeking advice whether her ring could be found. My watch showed 1914.

I asked if the ring was kind of very shinny and probably able to ‘illuminate’ light. She said yes if it was her diamond ring. (Never expect that to happen, I was surprised)

Hmm and I said this was quite a strange Gua. It suggested that her ring could not be found but was not lost either. Apparently, it should be with her but hidden. She told me she remembered wearing it. She was currently driving and just realized it was missing. I told her it should be inside a cupboard and check on any cupboard that was at the left hand side of the house with respect to balcony as front side.

Few minutes later she called to thank me. She said her husband found the ring inside her wardrobe….  

Xin Yi Divination Method

10 Jan 2016 my client consulted me about his career prospect. We were having the discussion at a café. He shared with me that his current tenancy was going to end and had the intention to move. He wanted to find out more about the Feng Shui of his current stay and see if I could do something enhance his career luck. I told him I can only assess his premise on site because it is the external Feng Shui that dictates the auspiciousness of the house. To avoid disappointing him and of course I would like to clinch this deal, I decided to do preliminary assessment though divination. 

Looking across window, I saw a vehicle (registration number 1358) passed by. I asked if his unit has a balcony. He replied yes. I look at the number written down on my notepad for short while and I told him using the balcony as the facing, he need to go from left to right to access the main door. There was another unit attached to the right hand side of his unit. He was shocked by my comments. Subsequently, I asked what was there at the back left corner of the unit. He said it was a study room. I told him the Gua suggest that either the cupboard or table was damaged. He said impossible as both are new. Anyway, I insisted that he should check it out. Lastly, I told him there is an opportunity for promotion this year.  This time he gave me a skeptical look maybe because he was sure there was nothing wrong about the cupboard and table.

Anyway, he called me last week to tell me that he was being interviewed for an internal promotion exercise. The best part was that he confessed to me that he found out the table’s drawer was stuck and had difficulty opening and closing it.

What I have applied for this case it Xin Yi Divination technique 心易占. It is similar to Plum Blossom technique but much more simplified. No need to plot chart like in Qi Men Dun Jia, no need to derive Gua by casting coins in the tortoise shell or by converting the time of day. What you need is a sequence of numbers. It can be numbers from digital watch, page number, Id, phone number etc. Most important you can do it mentally and the sequence will tell you a story. This allows one to attain the level of 善易者不卜

It is all in the formation

Few days ago(14 Feb), a man(medium) was found dead in a temple. It is understood that he had sustained a head injury. The police said in an update that they have classified the case as murder and investigations are ongoing.

According to the reports,  the man had been living in the temple for a couple of years and was known to have suffered from heart disease, diabetes and kidney failure. Also, it was believed that he had received a sum of money amounting to about $10K just days before. However, the sibings learnt that no money was found on him when he was found lying motionless on the floor.  It was also mentioned online that one of the idol was stolen in 2010.

It is unfortunate thing that have happened. But believe it or not, this unfortunate event, head injury, poor health and theft are implied by the temple's Feng Shui formation. This Feng Shui assessment method is known as the Naked Eye technqiue (形家長眼法). 

The great thing about this technqiue is that Luo Pan is NOT needed and therefore save the trouble of chart plotting. All it takes is to use one's eye to 'See' carefully. 

Temple

Temple's Front

Temple's Left Front

Temple's Right Front

Temple's Back

That said, a smartphone compass sometimes still comes in handy to validate the event against Tai Sui (太岁). Am I contradicting myself as I previously mentioned that a LuoPan was not needed? Also isn't this a limitation of this technique (one may ponder)? 

If you have such queries, this means that you are among most practitioners who differentiate between Land Form(形峦) and Formula(理气). The truth is both system must be applied jointly to assess a site's Feng Shui. This is because Formula is considered to be useless when land formation is not real (峦不真，理气无用). On the other hand, Formula is needed to usher prosperity out of the Land Form (provided it is real). That is how Feng Shui should be 'Seen' really. Therefore, in this case with the help of compass we will be able to know why this event occurred in 2016 and not 2015. Think about it.

Biryani Stall

Last week I was shopping for some camping equipment in town and happened to see a long and well-ordered Q just outside a coffee shop. I realized this was the queue of a Biryani stall inside the coffee shop.

What surprised me was that the stall was located just beside the rubbish chute area.

I understand that the stall was relocated to the current site in around 1985. The sons took over the stall from their father in around 2002 and turned it into a well-known stall in town. 

The Biryani is available for sale at around 1030hrs and is usually sold out by 1330hrs. Usually it takes about 20mins to Q for the food. The stall does not seem to have have a signboard nor a sales counter. Note that the stall window(boarded up) is actually facing the rubbish chute area as seen in the photo. 

So what makes this Biryani so special that result in incessant crowd each day? Is it because they increase the portion and spice or having secret receipe in the curry? Let us look at the surroundings:

West/South West

South West/South

South

Due to the crowd it is not convenient for me to take a picture of the stall. But anyway the surroundings have explained everything.This is a typical example of Receiving Qi (纳气). One may be thinking how does a stall WITHOUT a Door is able to receive Qi within the coffee shop?  If you think the stall is receiving the Qi through coffee shop main door then why other stalls are less performing? Door is important and there are few aspects of considerations: Facing and Position. However, these are not the deciding factor for a site's auspiciousness. How many prosperous shops that have their doors tilted? If Feng Shui is just about Door then Yang Gong does not need to spend his life time looking at Ci Xiong (杨公养老看雌雄)。。。
Think about it
