THE ESSENTIAL ESSENTIAL NEED NEEDTO-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 connecon between every living thing the universe. It unites our body, our mind, and our spirit, and it unites us in everything.
YIN & YANG YANG From the Chinese Metaphysics perspecve, given the importance of “taking everything as a whole,” all things are relave. A thing can be understood only in relaon to something else. This is the essenal idea behind the concept of Yin and Yang. Yin and Yang mutually oppose and repel one another but sll cannot exist without the other. Together they create a harmonious balance. For example Man and Woman, Bright and Dark, Posive and Negave, Passive and Aggressive, Hot and Cold.
THE FIVE ELEMENTS Chinese Astrology is about studying the relaonships between the Qi and the Five Elements in a chart. The interacon and posions of these elements are symbolic of dierent phases or primal forces within the universe, nature, and our bodies. They are divided into Earth, Water, Fire, Metal and Wood.

THE COSMIC TRINITY According to the ancient classics, there are three disnct – but interconnected – forces that inuence 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 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, anies, skills, your possible life direcons, are seen through your personal BaZi analysis.
Earth Luck is
the inuence of the places we live and exist. The places where we live, work and spend our me, have specic energies that inuence our lives tremendously.
Man Luck Luck is
the inuenal Qi (energy). It is us, our acons and behaviors, what we achieve through our educaon, 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 EVERYTHING IN-BETWEEN The Five Elements Theory is a Chinese philosophy used to describe the interacons and relaonships 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 interacons 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 ve elements is associated with each of the Chinese animal signs and 12-year cycle. 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 me.

The Tiger was crowned as the King of the Forest while the Dragon was tled the Lord of the Sea, and they ranked behind the Ox. The Rabbit won a race with the Dragon and gained 4th place.
Some people believe that the 12 Chinese Animals are simplied from the 28 animals which represent 28 Constellaons in ancient Chinese astronomy, while some insist on the animal relaonship with Jupiter’s revoluon revolu on period of just about 12 years. So what’s the origin of this mysterious theory with more than 2,000 years of history? There is actually no conclusion, but the various guesses and legends make it all the more intriguing doesn’t it?
The Snake, Horse, Goat, Monkey, and Rooster followed closely. The Dog was punished and set to be the last one for bing the Rabbit. Well, actually, the Dog was the 11th, because there is one being that was late for the interview – the Pig and it was awarded the last place. And it is speculated that this is how these parcular animals were chosen for the 12 Chinese Animal signs.
Have you ever heard of the story sto ry where the Jade Emperor wanted to select 12 animals to guard his palace? 13 Copyright © 2023 by Joey Yap Private Limited.

Copyright © 2023 by Joey Yap Private Limited.
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 ows into the property or home. So, this allows for posive Qi to be received and negave Qi to be dispelled. Do check to see if your main door faces the right direcon 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 locaon is facing a favourable direcon which will inturn determine if you are receiving a ow of posive Qi or not. When you’re assessing a potenal unit, do ensure to ascertain if the balcony is in a posive sector. To measure the facing direcon of a balcony, you may stand at the balcony and face outwards.

KITCHEN As the saying goes, “The Kitchen is The Heart of the Home”. It’s a hub of acvity; from cooking up scrumpous meals, nourishing our bodies and entertaining people. When analyzing the kitchen, the main things to look at are the locaon of the stove and sink. This is because the stove represents Fire and the sink represents Water.

ALTRUISM – THE KEY ALTRUISM – TO HAPPINESS? “There is no exercise beer for the heart than reaching down and liing people up.” There is a Chinese saying that goes: If you want happiness for an hour, take a nap. If you want happiness for a day, go shing. If you want happiness for a year, inherit a fortune. If you want happiness for a lifeme, help somebody. For centuries, the greatest thinkers in the world have suggested the same thing: Happiness is found in helping others. And so, the benet of giving over receiving has been drummed into us since we were young – from the rst slice of birthday cake, or the rst me we play in the sandbox at preschool. But is it really beer though?
Well yes indeed it is, scienc experiments have actually shown evidence that altruism is hardwired in the brain – and it gives us immense pleasure. So, it looks like helping others just might be the secret code to living a life that is not only happier but wealthier, healthier and meaningful. In the spirit of altruism we ask that you take the knowledge that you have garnered and help someone today. Learn it like you will teach it to others and we guarantee that it’ll be the best and most eecve way to learning Chinese Metaphysics.
