Mr Chong

"What didn't work?", I asked. "Placing water at Ling Shen, of course!!" Yes, the problem is that there are many factors involved and many variable conditions attached. What are they? You have a mountain but is there any dragon around? If there is, then its another story. Ling Shen and Zheng Shen is also Yin and Yang but whether the auspicious and inauspicious period complements? Therefore, flying stars is not just about managing interior qi but have to work together with the exterior and so on.

Anyone who is interested in 'flying stars' should have by now gotten an English FS book on hand. Usually by the end of the page, most people got excited and started 'DIYing'. Sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't. Some gave up, some pursue further. Some continue to do testing while others decided to get a 'master and etc. I don't have the luxury of time to teach down here, so hopefully some comments can help. Previously, we talked about elements. However, elements need to be differentiated yin and yang. For example, yin fire is different from yang fire. And how you incorporate or use it together within the situation or environment is also subjective. This is one area where flying starrers can work on. Another beautiful phrase, “正神正位装，拨水入零堂“ . Many started to put water here and there. Others looked for facing. The consequences sometimes may be a catastrophy. This phrase is only part of everything and not everything. A master who uses this phrase as a guide have to study together with other principles. Water can be good or can be bad depending on the formation. You don't take a canal for good water? Not long after 2004, some people asked me, "why it didn't work?". To be continued

Hello The above forummer that mentioned about hacking is one solution but if cost is the concern, you can look into one of the following: 1) Shift the bed headset to the windows. However, you must observe the following: a) Make sure outside the window got no trees, lamp posts or sharp corner building. b) For big open space outside the window, make sure you got thick anti-dust curtains drawn when sleeping. Your headset board if can't be high, must be thick (about min. 1 feet). Solid, not hollow. 2) If there's a building outside the window, stick reflective glass film. This is a suggestion of protective way for people that have no choice but to place under the window. If you want to maintain as per drawing, you can: 1) Place a partition or "Ping Feng" just outside your toilet door. 2) Place 5 old China coins beneath the door words against toilet, from right shunzi, kangxi, yongzheng, qianlong and jiaqing. Now this is the tricky part, some people sometimes notice that this won't work. The reason is that they got factory manufactured coins instead of the genuine old ones. Ask from a reliable retailer or look for rough words on the coin surface instead of the fine ones. Whichever method, you still must keep the door closed.

Hello I'm not sure how the surrounding arrangement of your kitchen look like. It would be better if you place a plan here, otherwise as a general rule, make sure your stove is not facing any door entrance and window. If its beside a window, make sure sunlight is not directly on it.

Hello I assume you're talking about a kitchen window which is quite near. In this case, it is not ok.

Continued from Feng Shui Article Since Feng Shui emphasizes on balance, cycles and etc, then materials read should not be so limited to say one school or method. On the other hand, when a person knows many methods doesn't mean he understands all. "ALL" derives from the truths and the truths can be traced back to principles and sources. There are many classic scripts from different dynasty. As for some formula schools, some are passed separated from verbal formulas. Some ancient important scripts were written with the secret within the poem. One of the book favorably encourage to read is the Book of Changes. Although there are different thoughts/opinions and 'schools' on YiJing alone, it is still a healthy book to read. On the surface, it deals with the chinese concept of the beginning, the link of changes and the everlasting applications in todays' society. Frankly, you should not obtain only an English translated YiJing Book. It is preferred that you read and understand from a chinese Yijing book right from the beginning or subsequently. The fact is that the essence of the chinese understanding cannot be realised by an English translation. I applaud the efforts of such authors and it also serves as a sweetener or appetizer because reading a chinese YiJing right from the startr put many people off. However, once read, the understanding should not be based on the English version. All English books on the shelf are just stepping stones for beginners to search deeper. When the methods in the English books don't work immediately or no results, it is not the problem of FS. It is because the secret of how it works was not written.

Dear Forummers It has been brought to my attention that certain practitioners are using/ assuming my identity in this forum and/or without denying. I'm happy to know that many masters/ practitioners are by the surname Chong. Some called themselves 'master chong', while others used that on the signboard. I wish to clarify that I have only a handful of students and I do not operate a shop business. Everything was based on referrals. Neither do I sell FS items. I always keep a low profile and I do not advertise my name in banners, signboards, leaflets and magazines. Here are some advises on seeking a genuine master: I understand that many are seeking a master to read your Bazi and audit your house FS. A great master is one who is not limited by one method only. (If the master says he's specialise in this or that, then try to ignore him). The reason is that all methods are one. Do not be shy to test them as you're the one who is paying the fees. If they're unwilling or give any justifiable reasons, forget about them. How to Test? Ask them to read your past events from your Bazi. Events or incidents which happened 3 yrs ago, 10 yrs ago and so on. Not just one event but at least a few. And they should be specific as to the year and month (at least) of happening. You also do not need to buy any FS items from them. The westerners don't have plenty of eg.dragon or qilin items available in their country. Yes, dragon image items can be used but alternately, it can be replaced with other things or methods. Also, if inevitably the item needed to be used, certain applications need to "kai guang"

Hello Using FS to look for a house is not so simple. You got to look at both the exterior as well as the interior. Moreover, pls read my pinned instructions. You can't just put up a own drawn floorplan without compass readings for audit/ comments. Every house comes with corners and protrusions.....doesn't matter, its secondary.

Hello My wrong choice of words!! Awhile means when I'm free. I've already cleared. Try to pm me again by tonight.....otherwise. Read my pinned instructions on taking compass reading. The pic with blk 406 in front is taken standing facing out from the main door? What are those lines, eg. between tv and bath 2? There's quite some rubbing? Where's the wall between the 2 bedsrms? Please give a proper floorplan.

Hello After reading for some of the forumers here, I didn't continue to do bazi reading for this forum for some time, reason being it was taking too much of my time. You can still PM me if you want, it will take quite a while before I can find time for it.

Hello Yes, you can sleep in that area.

Hello Facing corners usually is not that good. However, it is definitely not always bad. Occasionally, a person may enjoy good luck due to this kind of formation in one of the location of the house. Whether the person can benefit depends on further investigation. Follow my piinned instructions and put up the floorplan with some pics of of the corners.

Hello Pls wait awhile for me to clear the box.

Hello Your girl is born in the year of "Xin Si", put her study table in the north (+- within 15deg of 0) of her room and she sitting and facing south. Shift at 6.15pm tomorrow.

For a beginner, you can grab any book on the shelf to read. As a beginner, you need to understand the basic principles. In feng shui, there are many schools and methods. Any effective method is the correct art of Feng Shui. The proper basic way is to start off understanding the Bagua first. If you have a good understanding on that, you'll make less mistakes. Actually placements of things are just a small part of Qi, Xiang and Shu. Haha....I know of people staying on the 8th floor have worse luck. Other countries' people say 13 bad luck, some don't even have that floor or number. Those staying on the 4th or having trple 6s are still doing well. If staying on the 11th is bad, there may be some other reason or problem to it.

Hello "Fan" Tai Sui means you belong to the rat year. "Chong" Tai Sui means you were born of the horse year. Don't have to worry too much but just need to be more aware. If you were born in the rat year, this year jsut simply sleep in the NE or SW will do. Whatever you do in the day, avoid facing the North. You can do reno if you want. Just get a good date from Si Ma Lu. However, don't touch the North and South area. When the reno is ongoing, it is preferred that you are not present.

The light outside your main door is a permanent one. Its better that you get an electrician to do an extension for you. Secondary option will be battery operated. Yes, transfer the pot of plant beside your side door to the left of your main door. Place it on the other side of your shoe rack. You mean you want to move your masterbed?

The clothes hanger area, make sure no door close up the area. Try not to use the toilet there and keep the toilet door open. Use the other toilet (bigger study table area). The bigger study table don't place it against the toilet wall. Who is using this table often? The middle room single bed, move it to head in the north so that the door is not diectly in line with the bed. In the queen bed room, place a pot of coins in the direction of the leg area at the corner of the window and wall. Got time look for a porcelain cow. Place it at the induction cooker area.

After you've done that, you can continue to use this door. Alternatively, try to use the side door more often. Place the study table bside the piano (L-shape). Pull out the dinning table about 2 feet from the wall.

Hello I thought I've already reply via PM to you? Ok, pls take note carefully: 1) Put a halogen light just outside your door on 20 Apr 10.20-11.00am. You can also put fluorecence but not preferred. 2) Shift the big pot of plant (outside main dr) to beside your shoe rack (back) on 23 Apr morning anytime before 12pm. Replace it with one big bushy plant (place up to 3 also can). Adjust it until you can't see the opposite neighbor. 3) On the 20 Apr 6.30-7.00am, place 3 bushy indoor plants line up perpendicularly against the wall about 2-3 metres within the main door. In this way, you can't see the TV standing at the main door. Shift the TV to the opposite side beside the shelf area. Also shift the two seater sofa to the 3 potted plants there. In this way, the plants will be behind the sofa.

Hello I don't quite get you. Basically, there are a few ways to put up study table since there are a few methods. One way is to use your son's bazi. However,just the year of birth also can. Therefore, different kid may have different locations. If you have found out that it is in north direction, your reference should be from the centre of the room. If you found out the direction is based on the house fs, then you use the centre of the house. You can also look for the location using this year's ganzhi.

Hello I don't see any compass readings in degrees. Try to refer to my pinned post for reference. Keep your dog more often at the door area will be good. A few metres after the main entrance, design a partition. Place some indoor plants along the corridor just outside the MBR door area. You should put up some pics of the exterior of your house and around your door area.

Hello Not ok. If that is the design, then try to keep the bomb shelter door close all the time. However, that may pose another problem depending where your shelter is located. Doesn't really matter. Those were other methods used in feng shui. Yes, you may. However, you or other family members may not remember to observe this all the time. Try to tilt the fridge a bit.

Hello Since he has given you the date, you should clarify further. A date may be suitable for move-in but may not be for renovation. A date may be suitable for placement but may not be for discard. Try not to read on your own and DIY. There are proper procedures/time to bring in your 'god'. Ask your FSM. Otherwise, ask the temple. Once you have done your move-in, you can and should sleep there immediately. Most of the times, feng shui issues don't need expensive items. In the event of exception cases, items may be bought after it has been blessed (kai guang). If you're basing on buddhist thinking, then choose one to follow.

Hello If you can use the sliding glass frontage as entry and exit, use the MBR toilet whole day also doesn't matter. It is good news that those were sliding glass. Move in and out through them. I was referring to the east/SE wall of the wet kitchen. Yes, it will be another major problem if you place the stove there as recommended. Possibe to shift the stove further down along the wall to avoid the toilet directly above? Keep your stove within the South sector of your home. Otherwise, you got to locate the stove in the dry kitchen.
