THE ESSENTIAL NEED-
TO-KNOWS OF CHINESE
METAPHYSICS
QI
Qi can be described as universal energy, vital life force energy or simply
energy. Qi is the vital life force or energy that is in all living beings. It is
the energy of life and it runs all through our bodies. But not only that: It is
also the connection between every living thing the universe. It unites our
body, our mind, and our spirit, and it unites us in everything.
YIN & YANG

From the Chinese Metaphysics perspective, given the importance of
“taking everything as a whole,” all things are relative. A thing can be
understood only in relation to something else. This is the essential idea
behind the concept of Yin and Yang.
Yin and Yang mutually oppose and repel one another but still cannot
exist without the other. Together they create a harmonious balance.
For example Man and Woman, Bright and Dark, Positive and Negative,
Passive and Aggressive, Hot and Cold.
THE FIVE ELEMENTS

Chinese Astrology is about studying the relationships between the Qi
and the Five Elements in a chart. The interaction and positions of these
elements are symbolic of different phases or primal forces within the
universe, nature, and our bodies. They are divided into Earth, Water,
Fire, Metal and Wood.
5
THE COSMIC TRINITY
According to the ancient classics, there are three distinct – but
interconnected – forces that influence our journey in life. Each one is
equally weighted in importance without regard to hierarchy or order.
This is called the Cosmic Trinity and it is made up of three types of luck:
Heaven, Man and Earth.
Heaven Luck or the Heaven realm is made by the cosmic, spiritual

map and forecast for this life. All of this, as well as your strengths
and challenges, affinities, skills, your possible life directions, are seen
through your personal BaZi analysis.
Earth Luck is the influence of the places we live and exist. The
places where we live, work and spend our time, have specific energies
that influence our lives tremendously.
Man Luck is the influential Qi (energy). It is us, our actions and

behaviors, what we achieve through our education, talents, and work,
as well as how hard we work to reach our goals. We can and are in
control of our Man Luck.

ANIMALS, ASTROLOGY
AND EVERYTHING
IN-BETWEEN
The Five Elements Theory is a Chinese philosophy used to describe the

interactions and relationships between things. The Five elements are Wood,
Fire, Earth, Metal, and Water. They are believed to be the fundamental elements
of everything in the universe between which interactions occur.
Everybody belongs to one of the 12 Chinese animal signs and a 12-year cycle
according to the year in which they were born. One of the five elements is
associated with each of the Chinese animal signs and 12-year cycle.
Chinese Astrology also asserts that personality and cycle are determined by
both the element and 12-year cycle element, while life force (Qi) is determined
by birth date and time.

Part 2 : FENG SHUI
WHAT IS
FENG SHUI?
Feng Shui (Chinese, from Feng 風 ‘wind’ and Shui 水 ‘water.’) is a

discipline of Chinese Metaphysics that harnesses the natural energies
of the environment (Qi 氣). Historically, it is a deeply rooted practice
in Chinese culture and this practice can be traced back to the time of
the first emperors of China.
Simply put, it’s a matter of being in the right place at the right time.
By utilising the latent energy that’s present in the environment, it
gives you the boost in order to accomplish your goals. You’ll be more
energised, have unshakable focus and the drive to motivate yourself
to produce tangible results.
That being said, there are many myths and misconceptions associated
with Feng Shui. For the layperson, it’s easy to confuse certain
practices with the real deal, so here are 5 facts you should know
about this ancient art.
49
Part 2 : FENG SHUI
5 FENG SHUI
MYTH-BUSTERS
MYTH 1
CERTAIN OBJECTS BRING LUCK

Most people believe that particular objects can
bring negative or positive energies. Anything with
the slightest bit of an oriental look is assumed to
activate Feng Shui power. This is indeed untrue.
Fact
Even the most aesthetically appealing objects do not
affect Feng Shui. They are just decorative items.
MYTH 2
MIRRORS DOUBLE ENERGY

Some people believe that mirrors are used to
double the energy in your space.
This is extremely misleading. Can you place a

mirror in front of your food and drinks and expect
it to double in quantity? Of course not!
Fact
A mirror only reflects the image of the opposite side.
It does nothing more than that. You can place a
mirror anywhere to reflect the beauty of your space,
such as in front of blooming flowers.
50
Part 2 : FENG SHUI
MYTH 3
CERTAIN NUMBERS ARE UNLUCKY

The premise behind avoiding certain numbers is
rooted in the belief that some numbers can bring
bad luck. An example is the number 4. In the
Chinese language, this number signifies death,
and hence people avoid it at all costs. Similarly,
some people believe that the numbers 1 and 6
bring positivity.
Fact
Feng Shui doesn’t have anything to do with numbers. The principles talk about
releasing energies. Believing in the science of numbers has its roots in extreme
superstition if nothing else.
MYTH 4
BEAUTIFYING LOVE CORNERS

IMPROVE LOVE LIFE
Old wives’ tales have made people believe that
enhancing love corners of the home bring in
good luck and increases the chances of getting
married. This is nothing but one of the top
Feng Shui myths.
Fact
It is impossible to create love using Feng Shui. It gets you more opportunities, but it
doesn’t make anyone fall in love with you. However, you can become more pleasant
and attractive to others.
51
Part 2 : FENG SHUI
MYTH 5
ASIAN TRINKETS BRING GOOD LUCK

A lot of people looking around for good fortune
end up in Asian trinket stores in the hopes that
buying one would help them get good luck.
Fact
Wearing Asian trinkets, crystals and the like have
more to do with cultural and personal beliefs. These
are, in fact, commercial money-makers. If you like
wearing them then by all means continue to do so
but there is no connection to Feng Shui whatsoever.
52
Part 2 : FENG SHUI
FENG SHUI: WHERE

THE MAGIC HAPPENS
Internal Feng Shui is divided into 5 important areas.
There are known as the:
Study Room BEDROOM
MAIN DOOR
KITCHEN
BALCONY
53
Part 2 : FENG SHUI
MAIN DOOR
This actually refers to the main
entrance of your home and it is
usually the most used part. This
area is extremely important,
because it is the primary Qi Mouth
of your property. This means that it
is the place where the Qi from your
surrounding environment flows
into the property or home. So, this
allows for positive Qi to be received
and negative Qi to be dispelled. Do
check to see if your main door faces
the right direction and is located at
a good sector.
BALCONY
Balconies are considered the
secondary Qi Mouth in any apartment
or condominium. Similar to the
Main door, it helps determine if the
property’s house location is facing a
favourable direction which will inturn
determine if you are receiving a flow
of positive Qi or not. When you’re
assessing a potential unit, do ensure
to ascertain if the balcony is in a
positive sector. To measure the facing
direction of a balcony, you may stand
at the balcony and face outwards.
54
Part 2 : FENG SHUI
KITCHEN
As the saying goes, “The Kitchen is The Heart of the Home”. It’s a hub of
activity; from cooking up scrumptious meals, nourishing our bodies and
entertaining people.
When analyzing the kitchen, the main things to look at are the location of
the stove and sink. This is because the stove represents Fire and the sink
represents Water. If they are in unfavourable locations there would be a fire
and water clash, which isn’t good.
55
Part 2 : FENG SHUI
BEDROOM
Most of our lives are spent in the
bedroom, it is a place to de-stress
from a hard day at work, a place
where kids won’t be constantly
demanding our attention, a place
to sleep, refresh as well as to
connect with our spouses. There
are various aspects to consider in
your quest to finding a favourable
bedroom.
For example, the position of

the bed, the shape of the room,
additional features that are
present in the room. It is also
advisable to place the bed’s headboard against a hard surface like a wall. This
not only represents proper solid support, but helps promote a more well-rested
and harmonious you.
HOME OFFICE/
STUDY ROOM
Your work space is where you
spend your time crafting ideas,
innovating, planning out strategies
and executing plans for your
business ventures, career, wealth
accumulation and more. Which is
why it is vital that this particular
room be located in a suitable sector.
The focal point of the room is the

placement of the study desk and
the direction it faces while you’re
seated at said table. If you’re working in a suitable place, it could help you achieve
your goals more easily.
