​This Chinese New Year eve, we would like to share with you the modus-operandi of a FengShui Master. Prior to an audit, he would have ‘spoken’ to the earth deity of the subject premises, be it using the QiMen oracles or simply by ‘knowing’ telepathically. He has already a framework, of what to do, who to help and most importantly, what the outcome would be. That is the homework, some called, remote sensing.

Upon arrival at the designated time, he don’t quite need to look at the QiMen oracle to tell him where the ShaQi or the ShengQi is. He is trained to recognise form. The foundation of all FengShui school vested upon ‘Cross Line Heavenly Heart’ or some contemporary called it ‘Naked Eye Method’, ‘Cross Road YinYang’ or even ‘Golden Lock Jade Portal’. He sums up everything by a look. He knows the history of the residents or occupants, when, where, how, who, why and which events happened and so forth, without the need to ask. He needs a LuoPan to do this? Nope.

He walks around the property, observing forms. He has the QiMap in his mind. By a glance, he knows what the formation, the rectification needed are and the balancing YinYang that is warranted. All these without the need for the LuoPan. He then decide if he has been paid enough to change the formation? Whether the occupants deserved to be helped?

He then suggest, he needs to set the meridians of such and such. Thus he opens his LuoPan. For short remedy, he uses quick fix employing perhaps, eight mansion the ‘correct version’ of ‘object placement’ with reference to the location of the door. There he measures from the ‘Heaven’s Heart’, to distribute the ‘stars’. Then he measures with his LuoPan above the navel and say, put a lamp there 24-hours, and the quarrelling will stop. Surprisingly, for whatever reason, the quarrelling stops …

For longer remedy, he sets the meridian by ‘butting’ the LuoPan. This he did below the navel. Why below and not above? He adjust the ‘golden line’ with almost both eyes closed. Thus, he does not need a tripod nor a spirit leveler. All he did was he pre-calculated the ‘line’ turn it to that and make sure the needle does the rest of the work. Crude as it may, but this is the tested application since time immemorial.

He satisfies himself that these were done correctly and paused for a second to ‘talk’ to the earth deity. Having confirmed, he speaks to the occupants that by when, they would ‘see’ the omen, event, and whatever name you ought to call, unfolding. He collects his token fee and called it a day.

Short, simple and sweet …
