Joey Yap was in Melbourne from 20 - 25 July. This is the first time he conducted
classes in Melbourne.
 
Everyone knows how passionate Joey is when it comes to Feng Shui. On his 2nd
day in Melbourne, Joey braved the winter morning chill and embarked on a field
inspection of the wealthy eastern suburbs of Donvale, Doncaster and Templestowe.
Here we observed mountain structures, the positioning of left/right embrace
and table mountain. We observed these suburbs are inside a huge "spiral
city" which receives Qi from the "Huge Door" mountain - no wonder
these residents are prosperous!
Next, we visited a few housing estates near the famous Dandenong Ranges. Joey's
keen eyes immediately determined that the mountain is still "moving"
(in Feng Shui terminology), therefore no veins and Qi spots had yet been formed.
Consequently, housing estates within the vicinity are average in wealth in spite
of Mount Dandenong being a "Huge Door" mountain star.
 
It was such a fantastic tour; it was like the China expedition in a different
setting! Though there are no emperor producing "Chastity" formations,
the mountain structures of Melbourne, which seemed bland and monotonous, were
painted in a completely different light with Joey's articulate description of
them in Feng Shui terms. His observations had propelled me to a new level of
learning, clarity and understanding of Luan Tou.
We began the formal learning with a 2-hour Face Reading Seminar. There was
a large diversity amongst the audiences, such as Feng Shui practitioners from
other schools, current and future students of Mastery Academy, a list of distinguished
guests with varied background, from television producer and presenters, magazine
editors to owners of health food chain, fitness centres, the president of a
Naturopathy network and other like-minded professionals. They were enthralled
with the Face Reading techniques and swamped Joey at the end of the seminar.
Feng Shui Mastery Series Module 3 was next on the agenda. There were participants
from Australia, New Zealand and as far as Japan. In the 3 intensive days, they
learned to recognize various landforms, studied different mountain and water
formulas, its ancient origin and modern day applications. At the end of the
course, the participants acquired a new level of understanding of external land
forms and a different mindset to using "big picture" Macro Feng Shui.
When we individually consolidate the FSM3 information together with what we
learned in the FSM2 course, we have a set of formidable tools that can be effectively
employed in our practice. The challenge from hereon, is to push the boundaries
and expand beyond the common practice of micro internal Feng Shui.
 
Having summed up our classroom experience, here is an interesting by-product
from a social evening. We had a group dinner in a nearby restaurant. (Of course,
Joey was bombarded with land form questions which he graciously answered.) The
food was very good but the décor was nothing spectacular. However, this
restaurant has always enjoyed roaring business. After dinner, Joey gave a practical
Feng Shui lesson outside the restaurant. Standing in windy, freezing temperature
of 6 degrees with a light evening drizzle making it chillier, everyone was all
ears, and all eyes followed every movement of Joey's finger. We hung on to every
word to ensure we didn't miss the explanation when Joey pointed to the direction
of incoming dragon (the steep road), the position of table mountain (the fence
across the road), location of qi mouth and how the restaurant tapped the Qi.
That was a superb use of mountain formula in an urban environment. What an eye
opening experience!
So, there are excellent reasons to look forward to the Xuan Kong course in
Melbourne.
