Module One Intensive Foundation Course

What You Need to Know About BaZi (Four Pillars) BaZi (Eight Characters) or 'Four Pillars' as it is more popularly known in the West, is more than a sophisticated art of Chinese fortune telling. It is a traditional Chinese science of analyzing a person's destiny. Destiny is often regarded as the life path that is mapped out for us on the date and time of our birth by the Heavens. BaZi enables us to investigate the potential and mysteries of our lives using our birth data. By using BaZi calculations, we can explore the cyclical influence of our 'destiny' in important areas such as family, friends, relationships, wealth, fame, recognition, opportunities, career, studies, partnership, business and almost every other important aspect of our lives. BaZi can be used to evaluate the relationship between the various aspects of our lives and to forecast each of our individual life paths, giving us a ‘big picture’ scenario that allows us to make decisions that will allow us to reach our goals.

The eight characters are made up of the Yin and Yang variations of the Five Elements. By analyzing the structure, compatibility, clashes, combinations, conditions and inter-relations of these eight characters, we can probe into greater detail about our nature and our life path. An individual can make use of this information to accelerate his performance at work, strengthen relationships with others, overcome weaknesses, maximize talents and potentials and make informed decisions based on forecasts of his or her upcoming cycle of luck.

BaZi Mastery Series™ : Module One BaZi Module One is about helping you develop the basic techniques to calculate and assess the life path that is in store for you. BaZi is a study of Destiny that provides a road map of your own life and allows you to discover various means to shake off mediocrity and live up to your hidden greatness.

The Benefits Of Studying BaZi BaZi enables the practitioner to discover the facets of his or her own life, talents, potentials and more importantly, the possibilities and challenges in the near or distant future. Life constantly presents us with many challenges that demand our best. Although we may not be able to avoid all the problems we face or win back lost opportunities, we need to be able to prepare ourselves for whatever challenges that do lie ahead. The course is designed to help you understand yourself and the universal forces that form and shape you into the person you want to be and help you make informed decisions to live the life you have envisioned for yourself. This course will engage you in on-going, continuous self-mastery in the study of BaZi. What you will become as a result of this course is infinitely greater than what you are today because you will begin to understand the natural forces that help shape and mould your life. You will be able to recognize challenges and opportunities that come your way and realize that you can take charge of these situations, making them work towards your advantage. Your BaZi (Four Pillars) will help you to develop a larger vision of yourself. This course will also help open the corridors of the creative mind to assist you in manifesting the greatness that lies deep within you by understanding your talents and potential. Your BaZi (Four Pillars) can help you as a stand-alone guide to your personal development. By understanding yourself and others through the study of BaZi, you can learn to make better decisions - a power that can be put to good use today, tomorrow and for the rest of your life. For many years, the study of BaZi often involved tedious, difficult and confusing paths. Now, all this has been simplified with Mr. Joey Yap's unique structured learning system. In a systematic and coordinated program, the art of BaZi is now much easier to study and made simpler to master. You will receive a thorough briefing on the concepts of HeavenEarth-Man, Yin and Yang, Qi, Five Elements and the Stems and Branches - the basis of BaZi studies. You will gain the necessary skills required to practice BaZi effectively and efficiently for yourself and when performing consultation for others. BaZi Module One includes the application of Combinations, Clashes, Harms,

Destruction and Punishment relationships between the elements and 10 Gods (topics normally taught at only advanced levels in other schools). Learn how to analyze personality traits and the ‘luck’ conditions of a person. You will learn how to apply BaZi confidently step by step and understand the controversies that may confront you in your practice.

Essential BaZi When practiced correctly, the application and study of BaZi can greatly enhance your personal and business activities, enrich your relationships and improve your total well-being. Much of the art of BaZi demands good analysis, judgment and interpretation skills. Experience is certainly a key aspect of this art. By learning from our experienced team and from our existing knowledge, you will save yourself a lot of time. Practice the correct principles immediately with confidence and excel.

Gain the skills that will serve you a lifetime! Become proficient in an art that has great payback potential. Whether you are a businessman, doctor, lawyer, author, student, housewife or Feng Shui practitioner, the study and practice of BaZi (Four Pillars) can help you in a multitude of ways. Knowing yourself, your family members and others helps you perform better and take advantage of opportunities when they present themselves.

Practicing BaZi The demand for fully qualified BaZi practitioners are steadily increasing and given the shortage of recognized professional BaZi studies, many people are forced to learn the art from merely reading books, attending day lectures or overnight master-practitioner classes. This course helps you develop the fundamentals required to become an effective and proficient BaZi practitioner by setting you on the right path to eventually master the art. Focusing straight towards teaching you "what to do" and "the best way to do it". Module One imparts the right proven methodologies with the necessary tools and fundamental skills for practicing the art of BaZi correctly.

You will obtain critical skills such as: • Starting out on the right path studying Classical and Modern BaZi. • Ensuring correct BaZi readings without a trial by error analysis. • Understanding the role Heaven (as revealed in your BaZi) plays in life, in the practice of Feng Shui and in relationships. • Predicting the major factors that shape and influence a person's life. • Applying advanced analysis techniques.
