What is Classical Feng Shui? 4 It is important to distinguish Classical Feng Shui from New Age Feng Shui. Classical Feng Shui is based on the theories and principles of ancient texts. The term classical does not mean old fashioned. Classical Feng Shui refers to the use of classical Feng Shui theories, which have proven themselves with time; the importance is to adapt the theories to modern situations. Classical Feng Shui works on the philosophy of finding good Qi, tapping into that good Qi (by direction, location and formula) and circulate that good Qi. When a property and home has good Qi and is able to receive it the occupants of the property feel better, sleep better, have more energy and attract more opportunities into their lives hence; you are better able to achieve your goals and live a good life. Classical Feng Shui applications include Flying Stars (Fei Xing, Xuan Kong), Eight Mansions (Ba Zhai), Three Harmony (San He), Three Cycles (San Yuan), 64 Hexagrams (Xuan Kong Da Gua), Four Pillars (BaZi). New Age Feng Shui describes categories of Feng Shui that do not utilize a compass or directions and rely on intention and symbolism and the placement of objects. While authentic Feng Shui is complex; it is be practiced on simple and sophisticated levels. Core theories of Classical Feng Shui involve an understanding of Qi and Landforms, the concepts of Yin and Yang, the Ba Gua, and the Five Elements. Core basics include understanding direction vs location and understanding how Qi moves and flows and then applying these concepts to your home or business. Why Study Feng Shui? Simply put studying and using Feng Shui will help you to enhance your life and the lives of others. With an understanding of Feng Shui and Chinese Metaphysics comes the knowledge and recognition of how to tap into the benefits of the energies and Qi in your environment and time to make conscious and strategic changes to support your life.

Module Three: BaZi Chinese Astrology 11 Chinese Astrology also known as Ba Zi, Eight Characters or Four Pillars is a sophisticated system of personality, character, health and life event analysis that takes into account time. While Feng Shui involves the environment and buildings, Ba Zi is about people. The methodology of BaZi enables us to learn fully about ourselves and others; our strengths, our virtues, our limitations and the key events covering our life. While most Westerners have some familiarity with Feng Shui, few are aware of Ba Zi and the extent of its use as a personal life or human resource management tool. Ba Zi is an extremely valuable and functional tool that has been used for centuries by the wealthy and elite of Asia to gain advantage control and empower their lives. It is only in the last 30 years that the depth of this information has been made public and available to the Western world. It involves much more than the typical animal sign predictions. Briefly Four Pillars is based on the year, month, day and hour of birth. It is analyzed using the Chinese solar/lunar calendar. Each pillar is an interaction of the five elements and yin and yang, representing influences that behave in a consistent and predictable manner. This interaction creates a closed ended cycle of 60. This cycle repeats every 60 years, 60 months and 60 days, etc. Students who complete this 3- day course will be taught how to create and interpret charts. Students will be provided with a thorough understanding of BaZi principles and the information required to practice it with accuracy and precision. Here s what you will learn in Module Three: Calculate and construct natal charts Calculate and construct 10- year time cycles Calculate annual pillar charts Understand and interpret: o Heavenly Stems o Earthly Branches o Yin and Yang Differences Understand the qualities and profiles of the 10 Day Masters

12 Understand the archetypes of the 12 different branches or animal signs Determine the strength the five elements Understand the seasons Identify and understand combinations, clashes, and harmonies within a chart Determine the meaning of the different pillars Determine the strength of the Day Master Determine chart structures Determine the useful God and elements Understand how to interpret Void and Emptiness Know the qualities and interactions of the five elements and how they relate to the self (the 6 Gods) Know the qualities and attributes of the 10 Gods

Lily Chung and Joey Yap Testimonials 15 Lily Chung PhD Marlyna Los became my student in 2000. Being convinced of the power of the BaZi Chinese Astrology she speedily organized phenomenal workshops on my behalf from 2001 to 2006 in Vancouver and Victoria. The good work of our workshop on the BaZi spread to Saskatoon in 2002. She also traveled to New Zealand and Australia in 2005 to spread the gospel. The seed she planted is now blooming in New Zealand! Her relentless growth from our workshops, her own practice and frequent classes had finally landed her a top notch in the field. She was crowned the Queen of the BaZi among other global feng shui students in a study tour to China in 2006. As a result, she was invited to lecture/class workshops over a few foreign locations. Above all, her great work in Western Canada has put the 4- Pillar in a position as The Only Astrology System That Makes Sense. She has provided a healthy yang force to make the BaZi grow and grow! I am proud and confident of the proficiency in BaZi that Marlyna has achieved. In fact, I am not aware of any one in the western world has reached her profession level on the field. Officially, she is my best student; occasionally we exchange knowledge for mutual growth. Lily Chung PhD, Joey Yap: Mastery Academy of Chinese Metaphysics Feng Shui Do You See What I See? A foreword by Joey Yap It's fair to say that the integrity of Feng Shui has been put through its paces recently. In the late nineties, there was a sudden 'gold rush' of sorts as new age or pop Feng Shui took off. Suddenly, it seemed that a Feng Shui makeover consisted of little more than placing specific objects, trinkets and ornaments in the home. This watered down, erroneous version of Feng Shui soon died a death, however, as Classical Feng Shui became widely studied once again. In true, Classical Feng Shui, time and the environment are what really matter. I can understand why pop Feng Shui was popular for a period of time it is, after all, a lot easier to sell someone an ornamental toad and promise Feng Shui benefits than it is to teach them about formulas, charts and sophisticated interpretation methods! Nonetheless, Classical Feng Shui delivers genuine results and people are waking up to this fact. I have made it my mission to continue educating people about Classical Feng Shui and the very real benefits of studying it. Marlyna, like so many others, has long been fascinated by Feng Shui and had already been taught by many well respected masters before she made the decision to join my class. I immediately noticed her passion for the art. Picking up Classical Feng Shui can be a daunting process for anyone but she tackled it head on; her determination was all the more impressive to me because western students

often struggle to simply get their head around the technical terms in Chinese. Very quickly, she came to display a deep understanding of the subject during her time in class. I normally only observe this level of understanding in students who had spent many, many years at study. To put it simply, she was a natural, and it was clear that she could share her take on the subject for the benefit of others. When Marlyna asked me to write a foreword to her book I was delighted because I knew her book was of an excellent standard; both technically accurate and well researched and written. I am proud to endorse this book and hope it will allow even more people to enhance their knowledge of the art and science of Classical Feng Shui. Let's speak about Feng Shui itself. There are two components in Feng Shui: forms and formulas. Marlyna addresses urban Form Feng Shui in this comprehensive book. When we speak about formulas, we refer to techniques such as San Yuan, Xuan Kong, 8 Mansions and San He where often, sophisticated calculations are required to determine outcomes. Forms are also known as Luan Tou Feng Shui in Classical Feng Shui which translates loosely into Faces of the Mountain '. When we talk about forms we refer to environmental features such as mountains and rivers which determine the interaction of Qi and the stars. Good forms can enhance the quality of a positive star and smooth out the negative energies while bad forms, conversely, can aggravate negative stars and nullify the good energies. To correctly evaluate the Feng Shui of a property, you must have the ability to see a kind of invisible life force that influences the environment. Marlyna can do this and this is the truly difficult part of Classical Feng Shui. In this exciting title, Marlyna will open your eyes to urban forms so that you can eventually come to determine their Feng Shui value in an instant. You will be able to see what she sees. Understandably, most people think that formulas are the hard part of Feng Shui at first. The truth is, learning formulas is easy. Assessing Forms is the tricky part. A seasoned Feng Shui practitioner can assess forms at a glance. They have what might be described as an eye for Feng Shui in much the same way that a photographer has an eye for a great photo opportunity. It takes time and practice to develop this intuitive ability to assess the Feng Shui of a given location based on its form. The good news is that there are things you can do to build up your appreciation of Form Feng Shui and reading this book is one of them. This book is an essential addition to the collection of any Feng Shui enthusiast, regardless of their level of expertise. If you're new to the subject then this has been written in a way that doesn't exclude beginners. If you're a novice or even if you fancy yourself as a pro, this book still deserves a place on your bookshelf because each time you read it you will learn more. Pick it up and read it cover to cover. Read it again. And again. Each time you invest your time in this book I guarantee you will pick up something new and take a step closer to becoming a Feng Shui master yourself, honing and sharpening your ability to assess Feng Shui more accurately in a quicker time. 16

Finally, I'd like to congratulate Marlyna Los for her completion of this excellent new book and wish you, the reader, the best of luck in your Feng Shui endeavors. 17 Warm regards, Joey Yap Founder of Mastery Academy of Chinese Metaphysics May 2012 www.masteryacademy.com
