Senior Master Yap Boh Chu

In Chinese Metaphysics, there is a common principle of Cosmic Trinity – “Heaven”, “Man” and “Earth”. Some say the “Heaven” denotes Destiny, “Man” a person’s Will and Decisions, and finally “Earth” refers to Feng Shui. However, in Feng Shui specifically, the Cosmic Trinity actually denotes Time, Direction and Location respectively. Different schools of Feng Shui calculate Timing differently, the most widely recognised being the 20 year periods of Xuan Gong Fei Xing. In a nutshell, the application of timing cannot be dismissed as it is the key to feng shui practise, and some feng shui locations and arrangements can even turn inauspicious over time. Senior Master Yap Boh Chu will share more on the importance for Timing to be accounted for in one’s feng shui practises.

GM Dr Stephen Skinner

In Period 9, Star #9 becomes Prominent, behaving in a different manner to its previous function as an amplifier or as Elemental Fire. No living person has experienced Period 9 (1844-1864), so there are no case studies or records to look back upon. In fact Shen Chu Reng’s system of Flying Stars (in use today) only became public in the 1920s, so we really are working theoretically. In this session GM Dr. Skinner will review the role which Water and Mountain Stars play. By interpreting each Star in the context of its ‘office’, we can assess whether the Mountain Star takes care of human, relationships and family matters, and if the Water Star takes charge of financial matters and money flow. But these two Stars also affect each other, so how do we interpret the interaction between them in a Lo Shu Chart?

Chinese traditional concept of health is about balance between yin and yang and among the 5 basic elements. A person’s Four Pillars can be checked at birth and immediately from the birth data, we can convert the data into Four Pillars and see the potential problems that will surface at different stages of a person’s life.  With such knowledge, it is much easier to take precautions and minimize the chance of developing into something very serious.  As such, using Four Pillars of Destiny to detect health problem, hence take necessary precautions, is a very important and useful topic today.  Master Maureen will demonstrate with examples to show how reading Four Pillars and Destiny can be effective tool to handle health problems and as a guide to seek appropriate precaution against sickness.

Transiting into “Age of 9”, what kind of house design will be most suitable and what aspects we need to pay special attention? GM Raymond Lo will explore the unique features of “Age of 9” buildings flying star charts and point out its drawbacks and how to overcome such short-comings to enhance harmony and prosperity. To improve on the “Age of 9” house design we can engage other theories and techniques such as “Castle Gate” “Seven Star Robbery” and “5 Ghost transports Wealth”…etc. What are the prosperous locations and better facing directions and how to engage the abovementioned skills will be explained.

Coffee / Tea Break

The outside environment is an important factor in Feng Shui.  Master Hitoshi Kawamoto will speak about favorable flow of water, structures, landform and facing direction in the Period 9. By means of water formula, such as the 八宮水法Eight Palaces Water, 龍門八局水法Eight Dragon Water formula, 三元通天照水經San Yuen Heaven Water Formula and 生旺墓水法Three Harmony School Water Formula, this lecture will examine how incidents and accidents affect an area and shed lights on ways to incorporate good water flow into living spaces.

As we navigate shifting landscape of the upcoming Period 9, characterized by Fire Element, adaptability and resilience are key. As energy patterns change, individual and businesses must prepare to adapt to new paradigms and embrace opportunities in a rapidly-evolving environment. With emergence of new paradigms, there is a natural inclination for individuals to generate new ideas that can lead to the flourishing of different industries, distinct from those of Period 8. Comparatively, the emergence of different industries may lead to developed countries experiencing reduction in economic activity, whilst other countries may experience growth spurt, much like the changing energy patterns in Period 9. In this presentation, Cambodia Feng Shui pioneer Ms Long Naly will provide her valuable insights on industries and countries that are poised to benefit and thrive in the energy patterns of Period 9. 

An ancient Chinese proverb says: “An inch of time is like an inch of gold, but an inch of gold can never buy an inch of time.”  For the majority, this is true, but for feng shui practitioners who know how exactly to choose dates to start major activities— like marriage, to opening business, to moving homes, to surgery and the like, and even to choosing when to approach a boss for a raise— time is a gold mine.  Learn about the basics of date selection and other factors to consider based on one’s four pillars.  This will spell the difference between success and failure.  Backed by documented evidence from clients and their experiences, this topic shows how timing is of vital importance whether in the fading period 8 or the incoming period 9. 

One aspect we can learn from Chinese Metaphysics is the changing influence that the 5 elements have on the course of a person’s life. It determines the direction of life in terms of partnership, health and career, but also – and most importantly – favourable times for our plans. Learn about the approach we can take to discover these possibilities, how to make use of them, and enjoy the illustration Master Dr Sabine Kullak share using prominent examples.
