***
Stems and Branches and the Chinese Calendar – AS101 (also available on line)
You cannot understand the finer points of Chinese studies such as Feng Shui, Yi Jing, Astrology, Day Selection, etc. without understanding the Stems and Branches. The Stems and the Branches are some of the oldest Chinese characters. They were found often on the oracle bones, making them more than 4000 years old. They represent the cycles of the energies of heaven and the energies of earth, and have a profound effect on our well-being. They are based on yin and yang and the five elements, but have many other aspects to them. A good foundation in the Chinese calendar is also necessary. Most Westerners do not know that the Chinese had a solar calendar as well as a lunar one. In Feng Shui, we use the solar calendar, and serious Feng Shui students need to understand how this calendar works. Zi Wei Dou Shu astrology uses the lunar calendar, so this will also be discussed. This class will enable the student to understand the information presented in other classes so that they can apply those techniques accurately.

Date: Friday morning, September 17th
Time: 10 am to 1 pm
Fee: $75

***
Question & Answer Session with Master Sang
After a whole week of intensive classes, students have an opportunity to ask questions with Master Sang.

Date: Friday afternoon, September 17th
Time: 2 pm to 5 pm
Fee: $75

***

WEEK 2: MORE ADVANCED FENG SHUI CLASSES
These two weeks will be Feng Shui Case Study Classes. In these classes, Master Sang shares some interesting and informative cases from his files. Case studies are important to show the real-world application of Feng Shui and to illustrate certain circumstances that tend to bring about a particular outcome.

New Building and Site Selection

Study next to Master Sang as he takes you on an overview of two major cases he recently worked on in China. These are ambitious, innovative, and up-scale commercial projects.

One case is a street with commercial buildings in Shanghai. It was developed by a public figure but was not very successful. Master Sang was asked to improve its Feng Shui.

The second case is a resort that will be built on undeveloped land near Beijing. One of the attractions will be an orchard, where people can buy cherry or peach trees or grape vines. After that, all the fruit from the plant belongs to the owner, but the trees will be cared for by the resort. The site plans also include a restaurant and hotel. Master Sang will share how he chose the entrance for the property and laid out the buildings and orchard.

Photos and floor plans will illustrate the principles used by Master Sang. Besides Flying Star charts for the buildings, Master Sang will share other more advanced techniques for development of large commercial projects.

Learn:
* Practical experience in reading a lot (plot/space)
* What to look for on the site
* How to chose an orientation based on the environment
* How to modify a floor plan based on the house’s chart
* How to make use of the Pre Heaven and Post Heaven in a big commercial building

Date: Monday, September 20th
Time: 10 am to 5 pm
Prerequisite: FS201 Advanced Feng Shui
Fee: $150
***
Advanced Feng Shui Case Study 15 (not available on line)
Learn a special technique called City Gate (chengmen):
* How to bring prosperity to a home, business, or from a grave site
* How to use the facing to bring money luck
* More details on how to use the wang number
* How a bridge near your house can affect it

Date: Tuesday, September 21st
Time: 10 am to 5 pm
Prerequisite: FS201 Advanced Feng Shui
Fee: $150
***
Advanced Feng Shui Case Study 24 & 25

This class has two main topics:
* Topic 1: In the first part of this class, we will extend the reach of common Feng Shui practice by learning how to use a site’s entrance of Qi (Qi Mouth). This method goes beyond use of the Flying Stars and one can select the best entrance for immediate financial success, long term gain, promotions, or even peach blossom.

* Topic 2:
This part of the class compares two types of Feng Shui:
East-West (Eight House) Feng Shui is the body (体 ti), and Xuan Kong Flying Star Feng Shui is the application (用 yong). Body and application are a way of analyzing things based on Yi Jing studies. Body meas the pre-heaven attributes of something which cannot be changed and application is the way you use that thing. Application can be changed and has flexibility. For example, a body of wood may be used as a table, sculpture, fuel for fire, or even paper. We will see how this concept is used to analyze these two styles of Feng Shui.

Date: Wednesday, September 22nd
Time: 10 am to 5 pm
Prerequisite: FS201 Advanced Feng Shui
Fee: $150
***

* Topic 1: Having a successful pregnancy: There are many Feng Shui techniques to help couples achieve a healthy pregnancy.

* Topic 2: Creating a water road to bring in money: You can do this inside and outside of the house. There are differences for each of the eight typles of house.

Date: Thursday, September 23rd
Time: 10 am to 5 pm
Prerequisite: Advanced Feng Shui – FS201 and preferred Stems and Branches – AS101. This is available online.
Fee: $150
***

* Benefit marriage relationships or aid in successful pregnancies by selecting an entrance that is compatible with the house.

NEW Online Class: Adv. Case Study 4 – FS304

Online Class: Advanced Case Study 4 – FS304OL NOW AVAILABLE

Feng Shui Case Study 4 Class explains some sentences from ancient feng shui poems and explains their application to modern-day buildings. It also thoroughly discusses four different cases from Master Sang’s files. In one case, the employees are more powerful than the boss. In another, a woman went insane after her husband had an affair. In the third, the occupants can never stay home.

Monday, September 14th, 2009

In this class, you will learn more about how a person fits into a building based on their birth information. This class doesn’t use the personal trigram ( 命卦 ming gua); instead it uses the stem and branch, especially of the year of birth. We will learn:

  • which directions bring helpful people
  • which directions lead to money loss

Besides this, we will discuss a special configuration of the flying stars that brings celebration, marriage, and/or new babies to the occupants of a house.

New Class: FS275 Nine Palace Grid and Pie-Chart Usage

Tuesday, August 18th, 2009

The proper diagramming of a building is crucial for a Feng Shui analysis. How to do it is an art that cannot be found in any books. There is a lot of variation in the shape and layout of houses, so no source can cover every possibility. However, there are guidelines and principles. When these are combined with experience and common sense, the Feng Shui practitioner will be better able to perform an accurate reading.

Besides the issue of the shape and layout of the house, there is another important issue. When do we use a three-by-three grid with nine palaces and when do we use a pie chart over the house?

This class will explain the use of the grid versus the pie-chart according to the old books and the experience of Master Sang.
