Fengshui

The end of the year draws nigh.A few weeks ago, I was at One Utama MPH and there was a talk by famed fengshui celebrity Joey Yap. He was launching his book about the coming Year of the Dog. I was passing by as I was browsing for some other book and I overheard some of the stuff he said. He told his audience that he did not believe in asking his clients to buy things such as nine fishes for the aquarium or even jewelry as these have no basis in classical fengshui. However, he did say that if you wish to harness water qi, you can use a bucket of water and use a simple cheap water pump to move the water instead of using fish.

Coincidentally, a few weeks earlier, another fengshui author, Lillian Too, also had an exhibition at One Utama where all sorts of stuff were being sold, like sculptures of frogs, lamps, all sorts of paraphernalia and even fengshui T-shirts! If you look at the MPH bookshelves, you will find that Lillian Too has written more books on fengshui than Joey Yap.

Not being a fengshui expert, I am not going to say who is better, Joey yap or Lillian Too. However, both of them appear to have different approaches.

Many years ago, I saw a local TV show where the presenter invited 3 local fengshui practitioners to the talkshow. The conversation soon revolved around the topic on whether one should stay in a house by the graveyard. One fengshui expert gave the opinion that the person should move as the decomposing bodies would give out gases which would harm the health. (I am not such a hot expert on decomposing bodies either, but I believe one of the gases given out is methane.)

Lillian Too then interrupted him by saying that one could balance the yin energy of graveyards by countering it with yang energy. I believe her remedy was to put a large rock in the living room, as the rock would give out the yang energy. To my mind, that surely must be a strange remedy. I cannot comprehend how the rock could change the methane into something safer, and even if it could, the person would still have to come out to the garden or road and breathe in decomposing gases. Fengshui science is a big mystery to me. Frankly, if you ask me, a graveyard will not give out as much decomposing gases as a landfill or rubbish dump. It is definitely a healthier place to be, than living next to the dump or even living in a smog-filled room in the middle of the city.

Okay, what did Joey Yap said about the Year of the Dog? He said that for next year, the best sector in the house would be in the north, then followed by the southwest. Spend most of your time there.
