Amidst fluctuating local and global property prices, the property market is said to be a catalyst to Malaysia's High Income Nation Goal according to the Housing and Local Government Minister, Datuk Seri Chor Chee Heung. We take a look at the environology factors that shape a high appreciation property.
Property investment is more than just the fundamental façade of purchasing any property, beyond examining every aspect, whether good or bad, and all the factors that affect us in the short and long term.
Determining The Property
So how do we search for the best high appreciation properties? From feng shui principles, hilltop and mountainside properties are highly valued as mountains govern the overall qi in the environment. They are even related to producing "wealth qi" something that everyone looking to bank on prosperity in life would want to seize.
Man didn't shape the mountains, but the forces of nature and the gravitational force of the stars did, hence, they are regarded as Yin because they are stationary or immovable and represent stillness and quietness as well. Mountains generate qi in the surrounding areas and are often referred to in ancient feng shui as 'Dragons' (Hence my book, Walking The Dragons)
The natural appearance of mountains connotes the type of qi released to the immediate surrounds and environment around the mountain. Therefore, it is important to determine the type of qi in the environment before understanding what type of and how much qi a property can receive. To tap into the qi of an area, the type and quality of mountains in the area must first be observed.
Keep in mind though that it doesn't really take a trained pair of eyes to 'see' the mountains and hills are vast throughout, even in areas that look flat or are heavily developed, there are many small hills and contours around. Just keep your eyes peeled.
According to San He classics, good mountains are green, lush and gentle in appearance, with rounded tops. Such mountains are healthy and growing Dragons (Sheng Long), emitting benevolent qi, Bad mountains, in contrast, are steep, sharp and have pointy, tops, like that of a witch's hat.
Mountains that have naturally collapsed, known as broken mountains, which are rocky or have been blasted with dynamite, mined or quarried are also bad news. Even those with greenery and rock together are considered detrimental as they are identified as Sick Dragon (Bing Long), they peak the qi that doesn't flow well as mentioned in the classics.
Positioning For Success
Now let's take a look at the favorable positions of mountains around a property. Mountains at the back of a house are said to be supportive as they herald security and stability in the home, as well as the family harmony. A mountain on the left of a property is known as the Green Door Embrace (Qing Long Sha)-not to be confused with sha qi. This sha, however, protects the property from violent qi. Usually governing male prosperity in the house, you must ensure that it's not too near to the prosperity; otherwise, instead of functioning as a protective presence, it becomes suppressive. As such, mountains on the right, also known as the White Tiger Embrace, protects the property from any violent qi. Still, they should be of a moderate distance, and not any higher than the Green Dragon.
In terms of directional position, any hill or mountain in the Northeast and Southeast sides of the property will do well as its value increases with time. However, the mountain(s) in the Northeast has faster effect than the one in the South, which takes a longer term of 10-20years to take full effect. Another important point to take note of is, big buildings are not considered mountains, hence not producing any qi whatsoever.
Conclusively, a high-valud property is one that harnesses, sustains and circulates its life force or qi from and throughout ist environment. Therefore, know the environment, know your property. Only then will you know the type of qi in your area because if you don't know the type of qi in your surroundings, how are you going to tap into the qi?
