The day my calling came

All my life I was blessed with the guidance of the olden times. Coming from a Chinese family, our “AMA” or grandmother was a strong believer of Feng Shui. To her everything is not coincidence but rather consequence. Everybody has a role to play, and we must follow our numbers so we won’t get lost in our path to an Auspicious Life. 

In the early 80s, I was already in my teens, but still whenever we get sick, our “AMA” would seek guidance from the Chinese Temple. I really didn’t understand then why she has to go there, we’ve got doctors in the family, we even got our own drugstore, YES, our family owns a chain of drugstore that even until now is very much operational. Before taking any over the counter medicines, 1^st ones to take are the PAPERS, yap you read me right, PAPERS. These are onion skin type colored papers with Chinese inscriptions (with the use of black ink) burned & mixed in water for us to drink. YUCK ? You don’t know half of it LOL. There are also the horns of animals, dried insects and . . .  must I go on less you really want to be nauseous? Well, all of those are either eaten or drank. And yes, they do make us better.

Then there are the dates, the right date to get married, to buy a house, to buy a car. There’s always the right time, unless you want to be ill-fated, better sure than sorry right ? Right !

When our “AMA” died, I was only 14. As she left this world, a part of our family lost its connection. Weekends were no longer “all” of us, the whole clan having lunch. Seeing each other became lesser and lesser. Initially we still got together for birthdays, Moon Cake Festivals, Christmas & Chinese New Year. Then it became less & less. Soon it was only during weddings & funerals, sad but true. 

Despite this thou, the belief & practice remained with most of us. I for one, in spite of being brought up in the Christian ways, still believe & follow the very real practice of Feng Shui.

It is an antediluvian alchemy that gives us the immense possibility for opulence, health and a congruent life. Traditional Chinese Feng Shui is a very multifaceted body of knowledge dating back over 5000 years ago. It comprises of science, numerology, astrology, mathematics, geology, color therapy and even interior design. It teaches us how to balance energies of any given space to ensure good health and good fortune for people who dwell in it.

Feng Shui is not a fad, it’s also not a religion, nor a philosophy or plain superstition. Feng Shui is the Asian art and science that connects  time, space, people and the environment as one fundamental unit.  

Simple explanation : What does Feng Shui means ? 

Feng means wind and shui means water. In Chinese culture wind and water are connected with good health, so good feng shui simply means good fortune, while bad feng shui means bad luck. 

How does Feng Shui work ?

Just as an Doctor reads the pulses of a patient using a stethoscope, a Feng Shui Master takes compass to check-up your house. I think everybody knows what the good doctors does, he checks us out, gives us our medicine and ensure us that the bad cough or colds will be gone in a few days. Similarly the Traditional Chinese Feng Shui “cures” the  house or office using the elements of Fire, water, Earth, Wood or Metal. These elements unblock the areas of stagnation and awaken the immensely auspicious energies that have been lying dormant in your domicile. FENG SHUI is the doctor for your sick home or business.

Come and join me as I start my journey of learning to the mysterious yet very enriching world of Feng Shui. See how this retired stay at home mom, followed her calling and with the guidance of our Kind Lord Jesus Christ embarked into the endeavor of helping others find peace and happiness. I found out at 43 that it is never too late to start doing what we really really want.
