Investors, homeowners, homebuyers, real estate agents, developers, feng shui practitioners and fengshui enthusiasts from all walks of life packed the halls of Kuala Lumpur Convention Centre on the
weekend of Sep 29 and 30, eager to gain knowledge on the intriguing subject of feng shui.
This inaugural event, which was the brain child of the Founder and Master Trainer of the Mastery Academy of Chinese Metaphysics, Joey Yap, was themed ‘Feng Shui for Home Buyers’. The event saw the congregation of masters from all over the world, each armed with expert knowledge on various aspects of feng shui.
To kick off the event, Joey spoke about the importance of the external surroundings and natural environment in determining if a property enjoys good ‘Qi’. Basically, a property is audited based on three criteria: its conduciveness for wealth, health and relationships.
The surroundings and landforms must first circulate good ‘Qi’ before it can be tapped into, within the confines of a property. He also expounded the significance of the quality and location of mountains and water bodies in relation to a property.
He then moved on to speak about the fengshui aspects within a property’s interior. When doing an audit of the interior, the three most important aspects to note are: the main door, bedroom and kitchen.
The ‘Face Reading’ segment proved to be a hit with the crowd. During the lively session, Joey gave practical tips on how to assess a person’s character and luck cycle by simply looking at his or her face. This skill would come in handy during the course of property-hunting as one would encounter a myriad of people including property agents, sellers, buyers, lawyers and bankers. According to Joey, one can even tell if it is a favorable time to purchase property by looking at certain parts of one’s own face, specifically the area between the eyes, the eyes and the nose.
On Day Two, Joey explored the topic of feng shui for high-rise buildings and apartments. Although the fundamental principles are the same, there are distinct differences in application compared to landed property. Joey taught the audience how to establish the facing of the building and unit, and pointed out that different floors are governed by different elements.
Other experts who spoke at the event include: France’s Helene Weber, India’s Sherry Merchant, Singapore’s TK Lee, South Africa’s Diane Grobler, Malaysia’s Hung Hin Cheong and the United Kingdom’s Jayne Goodrich.
The underlying message from the experts was clear – that although feng shui should not be perceived as THE magic bullet for all life’s problems, it can be used as a complementary tool to enhance one’s life.
Although I am fully aware that it would take years of study to become a true master of this fascinating subject, this rewarding weekend has equipped me with basic feng shui knowledge which I am really excited to put to immediate use. Property hunting, here I come!
