After Effects of knocking and Drilling

Received a SMS from my client 3 days ago informing me that things are not going smooth for them after they move into their new house. I was quite surprised by the chronology of events that happened according to her accounts.

It includes knocking of head that requires sticthing, accident of car, fell down the bed while sleeping and even diarrhea.

If unsuitability of the person Bazi to their allocated placement, that would not happen, not accidents that involves the whole household continously.

Then I ask her "Did you do any knocking or drilling after you moved in?" She told me that actually after moving in they have done quite a number of knocking and drilling including trying to fix some water leakage problem at the back of the house.

Every year there are certain locations that must not be knock or drill for the duration of the year. This year it is the North, NorthEast and also East. Apparently by knocking and drilling all over after they have moved in, they have actually triggered all there is to trigger in relation to sha qi position of the year.

What do you do if you have triggered sha qi? Actually all you can do is wait for the strong qi to disperse. Which in their case it's going to be after some time.

There is one method which is true spiritual method - by using of talisman. Initially I was quite reserved about suggesting his to her. I do not like to mix Feng Shui with spiritual method as clients would thought this guy has gone vodoo or what?

Anyhow to contain the damage in the shortest time possible, I had no choice but to suggest this remedy.





In our Taoist lineage, we do not accept or expect any forms of monetary payments for any of the spiritual process. Now I am still waiting for the last process of consecration so that I can pass to her immediately.

Moral of the story, do not simply knock anywhere in your house, when the year is not favorable and you hit strong sha, help is not always ready to contain the damage.

Encounters on the sea

Spiritual encounters or incidents can happen anywhere as long as we can find humans in those places we can also find spirits.

Yesterday I was on board of a ship to help out on bardo deliverance of a single spirit that is attached to the ship. This case was already taken up by a local famous temple and I was there just to help out.



When we left shore on a smaller boat, the whole sky had low clouds surrounding us, I am actually quite worried that it would rain before we finish what we are suppose to do.

When we arrive onboard the vessel, the sky actually got darker. Anyhow we setup all the praying articles as according to the instruction from the temple.



After setup we still had to wait an hour, as the time we told the deities were 6pm. The spirit was confirmed by the deities to be inside the engine room. Then upon entering the engine room, I can sense the spirit is at the corner room of the engine room, the only place where it is slightly more quiet compare to other areas.

Then as the clouds got more dense before the agreed time, all of us got more worried.



On the spot, I have to go into meditative stabilisation and request my deities if it is possible to extend the storm. Answer I received was the latest was by 6:30pm. After about 10 minutes, there was an 'opening' in the sky with sunlight, so I knew it was a good sign. Whenever there is a sign in the clouds usually would mean that the spiritual process would be completed successfully.



While the sky on the other place is still heavily dense grey sky.



Finally the ship owner did the process of inviting the deities to help deliver the spirit. After the whole process is done, I have return to the engine room again, and this time cannot sense the spirit anymore.

This is just the first week of the 7th lunar month, I have a feeling it is going to be a long month ahead.

Liu Ren Xian Shi Celebration - 六壬仙师





Chinese Lunar 6 Month 22nd Day is the a celebration day for Liu Ren Xian Shi. There is 3 celebration for Liu Ren Xian Shi in a year. As Liu Ren Xian Shi usually the celebration is for the whole pantheon of deities under Liu Ren lineage. Most of the time is not less than 20 Taoist Deities.

As it will be quite troublesome and hard to remember, therefore from early on the celebration is group into 3 times in a year.

This will be last time the celebration is held in my home, and most certain the next one will be held in our upcoming temple. This morning about 6 more additional members were officially initiated into our lineage. Initiation includes submitting name, date of birth and reciting the edicts before burning it.

After which members were also given talisman to be swallowed as a form of blessing transfer. We have taken great care into obtaining the edible cinnabar 朱砂 that is turned into vermillion. Edible type essentially cost 20x more than those usually available in joss stick shops. Essentially these 2 contain mercuric compound and deemed to be poisonous. Therefore very minute amount is added.

Nowadays most of the vermillion for talisman has been substitute with red food colouring.The best effect are still those that use edible vermillion.
