Sembawang Shopping Centre

.

I brought my family yesterday to the relatively new Sembawang Shopping Centre (SSC). Before the building was revamped in 2007, it was an old shopping centre that was probably near its obsolescene. It re-opened in 22 December 2008 and had gotten a whole new face-lift and reasonably good tenants-mix.

It was a Saturday night during dinner time and I expected the place to be filled with shoppers or diners since it was also the 7th day of Chinese New Year where families would normally find a good eating place and get together. Nevertheless, to my surprise, most of the shops, including the food courts and restaurants were pretty empty. I actually asked one of the retailers and he told me this is usually the case although sometimes on certain days the crowd "would be slightly better".

Before I left for home, I did some checks on the main entrance, environment, the contour and also traffic flow. The SSC is facing a road and backed by hill with landed houses. On the right hand side of the building, there is an open land while on the left, there is a small road sloping down from the hill and merged with the main road (water mouth). Slightly further to the left are shophouses and residences. Please see picture.

I did not bring my Luo Pan so I could not measure the water exits. But based on mere observation of the landform (which is one of the divinative techniques), you can instantaneously tell that the yin and yang of this building is off balance. Yes, the white tiger and green dragon's fundamentals have been violated. Overly yang white tiger in this case represents power issue with women in the management team there. On the other hand, the dragon side is too cluttered and yin.

I also observed that the land is sloping away from the main entrance towards the main road. This is known as the Out-going water. Good or bad depends on the Xue (穴).

I am going to bring my Luo Pan there on another day to measure the Xue and the Double Mountains. I think the water flow is causing a leakage in the wealth.

Any solution to make the building a prosperous one? Yes but it involves structural change to the building like opening of another entrance.

What I like about going for a Date

Do not underestimate the importance of selecting a good date and time for your feng shui activation.

The above depicts a typical Xuan Kong Da Gua (64 Hexagrams) Date.

Spiral Feng Shui

Have you been hearing about Spiral qi lately? If you have not, then I must say that it is not surprising because firstly, you may not be in the inner circle of the juicy and political fengshui industry (thank god). Secondly, this concept is not commonly mentioned in details by any masters out there. In fact, I do not think most of the practitioners (especially feng shui ornament salesmen) out there know about this not-so-easily-accessible piece of information.

Ok, I am not trying to claim to be an expert in this field but I happened to read about it and I know something about it and I just hope to satisfy the curiosity of the loads of fengshui enthusiasts by sharing what I know.

Any city that has such spiral formation is definitely blessed with good feng shui. Surprisingly, some of the ancient European cities were found having such spiral patterns. I wonder if the urban planners had gone to Luo Yang to understudy from the feng shui masters at that point in time...

Anyway, for a city that has the spiral pattern formation would reap the benefit from the accummulation of qi at its epic centre (Ming Tang) which then radiates out to the corners and borders of the city.

A picture is worth a thousand words. See below on some pictorial explanation of spiral pattern:

Caution by Yours Truly : Do not attempt to create Spiral qi in your house by constructing a spiral staircase. You may end up screwing (sorry for the pun) your own heaven heart.

The Book on Xie Zi Fa

This is the book that talks about Xie Zi Fa. To manage your expectation, it does not reveal the actual technique. The secret is only passed down to his son.

The last few pages mentioned a Da Gua technique used for house divination which I think is very interesting. I will share in my future posting if I have the time (currently quite busy with fengshui audits).

Zeng Zi Nan's publications are not found in Singapore and I actually bought from Taiwan at quite a steep price. I think the publisher might have stopped their prints. When I received it, the pages were slightly yellowish.

If you have been searching for this book but to no avail, do drop me an email at destinyasia@hotmail.com

Happy Li Chun!
