All About Feng Shui
Is buying an auction house a concern in terms of Feng Shui ? It was one encounter that I think this blog will help those who have concerns upon buying an auction house will involve major reconstruction of the house. Is this always the case?
How can we change the Feng Shui or the energy of the house? Does it has to involve extensive renovation involved a some little “tricks”, we can change the fate of the house?
It was back in July 2017 when this student of mine made a journey from the other side of the world, flying more than 20 hours just to be here to learn or rather relearn Feng Shui.
The story started way beyond 2017!
It was an online Feng Shui course that kicked off the journey after meeting disappointment in life. With the hope of improving life this student embarked on an online simply because its easily accessible. But how can one learn real feng shui skills online? Feng shui is a hands on skills not just theory.
Being green in this field, soon the marketing prowess and a promise of lineage knowledge got this student no where except anxiety. I call it Feng Shui Paranoiacs.
Realizing this quick, the student believe this online course will not elevate the skills sets, the student found another more senior teacher back in North America.
The Senior Mentor
This senior mentor has the age factor apart from “good credentials ” having learn from 2 famous masters here in Malaysia. One a Gen 艮 master the other a Qian 乾 Master. Both masters does have substantial weights under their belts, each in their own way and has a large numbers of fans cum students behind them. The type of students that would believe that the mere smell of the masters would always elevate their souls! So you can imagine for yourself the type of fans/students they have.
The student journey under this senior mentor wasn’t rosy either. 2 of the student’s property was Feng Shui by the senior mentor but didn’t yield results. However at that time, this student didn’t suspect anything amiss even though things wasn’t smooth because the rationale was “How could my master of such and such credentials and fame makes mistake, it cannot be!?”
The student couldn’t get a new job after leaving the last one, children was also down with sickness rather frequently. Nothing seems to be going well but the senior mentor reckon that property was having “good Feng Shui”.
The Second Intuition
Due to the student own constant predicament, something must be not right. Surfing the Internet again, this student stumbled upon my website and after reading decided to drop me some questions. In the correspondence ensued, the students kinda realized that what was learned was mostly untrue and wrong. Continue reading “A Feng Shui Journey”
Coming back to the story from Part 1, the owner decided to ask me help look for a new premise. We surveyed the area for a while and there were few choices but wasn’t very good. Why this first step is so important? Listen to this video.
Then we chanced upon an empty lot which was a laundry business that went bust. So my client was rather apprehensive since the last owner did not make it, would it be wise for her to trust my advice to take up this unit?
She decided to take that leap of faith and decided to rent the shop as per my advice. After I studied the formation surrounding this property, I selected the perfect formation that would be great for both Wealth as well as Human Factor.
Following my advice, she did everything I asked her to do to the tee, from the doors, tables, sitting position etc.
It was in end of February 2018 they moved into the shop according to the auspicious date but they only started business there full force after March 2018. April went by, May was the Malaysia 14th General Elections where Malaysia saw a change in government for the first time since independence, which is about 61 years.
Castle gate theory 城门诀 is one of the most sought mystery in a Feng Shui. Many practitioners are still not familiar with the usage and application. There are even books written on this subject alone! However, there are many versions of Castle Gate Theory. However, the version I will be writing is the San Yuan Xuan Kong Flying Star version.
In order to understand this theory we should first understand : What is a Castle Gate 城门? Below picture is the Castle Gate.
This brings me to a case done early of this year. Its a true story I think it’s worth sharing. My client had an old office which I audited last year. That office was having bad feng shui and the previous master couldn’t identify the issue. Of course the master could not understand because even though he is an old master, he came without a Luopan or Chinese Geomancy compass.
He uses a technique based on Yi Jing Feng Shui called the Xing Fa 形法 or literally translate to English as the Shape Method. This method is to take a view of surrounding and conclude the good and bad of feng shui. Some of the method he used was like hanging of paintings of Mountain and Waters. Then there was the famous Wealth Corner technique. A common taboos of feng shui are all include in this method such as your main door should not see another door or room, where to place pots of plants outside your house etc. In the western market, this technique is know as Internal Landforms Feng Shui.

High Rise is the future trend in property as land is getting scarce. This is very evident in Singapore and Hong Kong where land is really scarce and less. Malaysia is catching up fast too.
I am more familiar with Malaysian and Singapore Feng Shui since I have many clients here.
So the question is, Is High Rise Property less Auspicious compared to landed ? In my book Winds of Change – The Myth and Truth of Feng Shui and Bazi, there is a case about how an little apartment that violated most Feng shui taboos did well after moving it. You can read it out in the book available on Amazon or Kinokuniya in Malaysia.

Since Singapore has the most high rises such as Condominum and HDB apartments, I shall focus my article on the cases I have done in Singapore. Some of them are a redo of famous Feng Shui Masters in Singapore.
To begin with, conceptually Feng Shui for Condominium and Apartment are audited the same way as a landed property except for a few new twist. This kind of Feng shui is more complicated since it is not well documented in the old Chinese Feng Shui Classics. Thus a strong understanding of the concepts of Feng Shui is very important.
A lousy doctor at most kills a patient but a lousy Feng Shui Master can kill the entire family. I will share some short cases below. Stayed tuned.
The 2 usual major complications are how to determine the Facing of the unit and The Period of the unit.
Recently I was conducting a Feng Shui class, it was an amazing experience. It was amazing because 3 of them were once my clients.
And you maybe wondering why are they in the class? It’s because they have consulted several Feng Shui masters before but did not had the experience they have . The results after my consultation were beyond their imagination.
This overseas client had 2 prior Feng Shui masters to consult her house some years ago but the situation wasn’t any better off despite all the recommendation of “cures”. One even had a very professionally thick folder with beautifully done up report.
Finally she found me for some reasons and trusted me despite I looked “young”! Well her trust paid off because after the changes she and her husband felt the positive results after real feng shui is applied. The sales increased and harmony was better. Indeed life is much smoother than before. The long flight was all worth it.
The irony was that, the client told me non of the “masters” could tell there was a mountain in front of her house and what it does to their property. Instead he asked my poor client to put big rocks in front to create a “mountain”. Then some crystals here and there. Most superstition master’s advice are merely Feng Shui myths.
Once I was dealt with a very difficult project. The sales situation with the retail business was not in good shape and it has been on the decline since a few months.The main door was affected with inauspicious sha (煞气) energy and this was one of the cause of the slow down.
Perhaps a stroke of affinity, that this client managed to locate and trusted me to help improve the business. After studying the layout and business, I found a way to minimize the cost of renovation and same time can improve the flow of auspicious Qi to improve the business.
Its a concept called Qi Flow. There are various schools of Feng shui and thus each school has their own concept of Qi Flow. In San Yuan schools of thoughts there is also a Qi Flow concept.
Apart from the above improved trend, the sales compared to next the previous month is a jump of 16% in mere 3.5 weeks after changes implemented. So what made this improvement possible?
Why is it some malls are not able to perform or badly perform as in drawing in crowds? Is there a Feng Shui reason behind? We know that in Kuala Lumpur, there are malls with more than 20 years and yet holds high rental yield and full of crowd. Is it because purely due to location? Today we investigated 2 such places in Kuala Lumpur.Void is a phenomena in feng shui whereby the building is in a position that is really bad Feng Shui.
The Glades Plaza was built as part of the complimentary for it’s gated Glades bungalow units back Quarter 4 of 2013. Photos taken this year shows that no business could survive there except their property sales office.
Why can it be that bad? A property developer that is top 10 in Malaysia and it’s Feng Shui was heavily promoted by an internationally famous Feng Shui master from Kuala Lumpur, why then it can be in such sad state?A few business tried to open there but closed down not long after. The last being a cafe.Is it due to poor marketing efforts or was played down by a hidden hands of Feng Shui?What was possibly missed out in the Feng Shui assessment? Gone were the days where bus load of students enthusiastically measuring with their new luopans that I vividly recalled while passing by back then.

I have always been a strong believer in Feng Shui. Since my first home, I have engaged many Master. However, none has proved positive n consistence results.
This has changed when i met Master Alan. He was able to pinpoint the past problems in my house as well as potential issues which was going to happen. And, it did happen. I implemented his suggested solution and I’m grateful things start to improve over time.
This event has prompted me to learn from him. I hope one day with the skill and knowledge acquired, I’m able to help others.
So, why do i want to learn him? I guess the answer is obvious. He has proved to me, with positive effect in my current house. Next, his skill comes from proven and authentic lineage. This is very important as i do not wish to learn from some self claimed Master whom does DIY, self learning from books and without a recognized lineage.
The course itself is structure and informative, telling a lot about why this and that, making the understanding meaningful.There are also relevant life examples n case studies which help to make learning purposeful. There is one very critical part of the course – Oral Secret. This differentiate make the true master.
Feng Shui Myth – Master Alan has all answers to those, made by DIY Master.
When Sandy (not her real name) was introduced to me by a client of mine back in late 2015, she explained that she has just recently purchased a new house in Johor. She asked that I do a Feng Shui check on the property 🏠 and advice the required changes to improve her house feng shui.
She needed all the help she can get from Feng Shui as her business was not doing well. She is in the Insurance line. She could not focus on the job for several personal reasons on top of the sour relationship with the insurance company senior executives. Her sales numbers have been in the decline trend 📉 as well.
When I arrived at the property around noon, the wind was blowing breezily and this gave me some comfort being under the mid day sun. The corner unit link house was Sitting South and Facing North. The place was rather surrounded by hills.
The house fell into a specific degree known as a Void Line. In some schools it is known as the Death and Emptiness line or Kong Wang 空亡. Void line ☠️ in feng shui is a very bad thing as everything will eventually goes to zero. It can affect wealth, health, relationships etc.
I have seen a few property may it be office, factory sitting on Void Lines experience some kind of paranormal disturbances and decline in business too.
Understanding her current situation, this will definitely be a bad thing to have. Something has to be done and after some calculations, I chose an auspicious degree for the door.
I first ask her to sectorize the downstairs to get the good Qi for the parents room. Then with some minor renovation at the rear to extend the kitchen, I then chooses an auspicious location for the stove . We cannot underestimate the stove even though there are many theories pertaining the stove out there, only with lineage knowledge, only one is able to set the right formation for long term auspicious. Wrong setting the stove can hurt members of the family.
Upstairs, I set the bed to benefit her human factor and health. With good human factor, only can we have supportive bosses and friends on top of a clearer mind. Now that I have solved the Human Factor 💪🏼, how can i help her improve her wealth and career?
I proceeded to place her working desk in an auspicious location in her room. This takes in to consideration the alignment of her desk to the door to the stairs creating a powerful feng shui formation where the strong formation of auspicious Qi gathered at her bed room. This will further improve the wealth 💰factor for her.
Months later, Sandy’s facebook was filled with appreciation from colleagues and of course myself for winning many awards for top sales and other categories. The reward 🏆 that followed were company overseas trips. 🎉🎉🎉
Good feng shui is a unique skills that each feng shui master will come out with different solution depending on his ability. So no two masters will produce the exact result. Just like no two cooks will produce the same taste even with the same ingredients.
This is what Feng Shui have done for her. I cannot say that it is only due to Feng Shui, of course her hard work counts too but nonetheless with an extra lift from the “hidden windy hand”, the sailing becomes smoother and more effective.
Update Feb 2018, won 2 star ⭐️ awards for her achievements.
Yours Truly,
Real Feng Shui Master
