Predictions 2010 talk:

Hi, I have been invited to give a "Predictions for 2010" talk at NUSS, Guild House on the 4th February 2010. Hope to see you there !

Technorati : Thank you for giving this blog "The Fengshui Savy Investor" a technorati authority of 121 on the subject matter http://technorati.com/blogs/lynnyap8888.blogspot.com

The wealth area where art thou ?

In fengshui studies, it is the wealth area that makes fengshui so popular today and of course fengshui is much more than just creating wealth for clients, it goes way beyond that. Just look at my clients, find them in my Facebook friends and one knows why. We became friends and is more than just Facebook friends. Nevertheless, we do poke and superpoke each other !

In a house or office : there is a wealth area and that area has to have "activity"in order to create *constant wealth* for you so your wealth area should not be your "store room" or simply an "empty room" with no furnitures where you hardly go into.

In the home : the wealth area is usually your most most comfortable area where that area has a strong *drawing power* but only if you use it as your "study room" where your computer is or maybe a tv in your living room hence it draws you to that spot of your house.

In an office : it could be the "pantry area" or the "reception area" or simply just a "meeting room" however, these are not good uses of the wealth area. Ideally, there should be people working there to create energy. Maximise the space there to put it into good use would be the best and Good Luck in searching for the wealth area of your house or office, without inviting a Fengshui Master ;)

8 Photos that I could'nt possibly take myself

FSQ NOTE: These 8 photos are taken from Christopher Ng's album. Thank you Chris (that's Chris seated next to Geshe-la in the 4th photo) for all those wonderful photos which I could not take myself. If you are in Facebook, http://www.facebook.com/fengshuiqueen you can see more there. At the Gompa, I am in pink seated second row far right next to the cupboard. My seat was there for the past 12 days of Lam Rim Meditation until I get all the blue and white energy at the end of 10 days. You want to come, next time they have classes ? check out the Kopan Monastry website http://www.kopanmonastry.com/

What is the single most important thing that I learnt from this retreat ?

That when you are on a veg diet for almost a year and live your life with mindfulness on your own body, speech and mind, the true energy will surface after 12 days of meditation.

During the retreat, I was on *noble silence* for 12 days as I felt that that would give me the most merits created and also I would be able to note *the nature* that surrounds us. Hence, I listened to the wind, the dogs barking at early morning and the leaves that fall in front of me and the various dogs and insects that appear before me on my 10th day of my retreat. I figured it out that : When one is truly compassionate and that compassion comes true from the heart with no intention of harming any sentient beings then insects and dogs will appear....just like that.

I also picked various gifts from the Universe like pieces of flowers and dried leaves that glitter in front of me such that I had to pick them and take a closer look. I also noticed that the flowers all started to speak to me including that big tree where I meditated and that big tree is a male tree as his voice is deep. If you are on the same level with nature as I am, you will know what I mean. Otherwise, you would'nt even be able to understand what I am talking about.

This retreat though tiring (I usually take a quick lunch and then go to bed and sleep if not I know I would'nt be able to take the 7.45pm last session, the 6th session for the day as it is already past my bedtime at 10pm SG time). I know deep inside me help created tremendous merits and various very useful technics of helping us creating merits thru visualisation. It is such a beautiful skill and secret.

I read in a book that says that usually after the retreat, the next day, realisations will come so I waited for it to happen. However, it happened in Kopan Monastry and not when I am back home in Singapore, the next morning. That realisation is your own *personal secret* revealed to you. I hope many of my buddhist friend also received theirs. Rejoice !

The single most important thing that I learnt in this retreat is : To go at your own pace and learn to look at many things deeper and deeper. Only when one who has learnt to look at most things deeper, will one be able to understand the nature of reality.

FSQ NOTE: If there is another session next year in October, 2010, I would surely come ! and it is a big YES for me !!!

Group Photos

FSQ NOTE: Come join Amithaba Buddhist Centre and be a member, that way you will know when the centre organises the next retreat and you can join us too ! rejoice !

My friends and I

FSQ (Fengshui Queen) NOTE: How many times in your daily life are you always afraid ? when you are afraid, note it so that you are aware. Then ask yourself : what is the next worst thing that can happen to you ? Maybe you are late for an appointment or late for an important meeting ? then sort all of these in your mind and reply yourself. that way, you may learn how to overcome your own fear.

Our sincere gratitude to all our teachers during the retreat

FSQ NOTE : Geshe-la is our main teacher during the Lam Rim Meditation retreat, however Geshe-la also invited other teachers to teach us and we are all very grateful. Many thanks to the kindness of our teachers for imparting their knowledge to us, we are most grateful. Geshe-la is the first one in the photo and the photo is from Christopher Ng's album.

Our main teacher during the retreat - Geshe-la !

My own early morning meditation at Kopan

FSQ NOTE: Every morning from 18 October right till 28 October, at around 4.30am and some times, it is 4.50am, I would be here meditating (seated on the floor in front of the big tree and facing the rest of the world below) and simply just focusing on my breath, breathing in and breathing out till the Monastry opposite rang their bell at 5 am (once I counted and count till 304 ringing times) and till a venerable came to unlock the door of the Gompa and till I hear a few alarm clocks ring and till I also hear the footsteps of my buddhist friend, get up and go to bathroom outside and sometimes I heard him climbing many steps up and up and then I get up and go back to my room. Nobody speak to me nor did I speak to anyone, every morning.

Personally, I love this kind of meditation as it calms down the mind and make it *still*. It is in stillness where insights come and most of the time help me in many of my own decision making. Every morning before I go out to work, I usually do the same at home. And yes, I love to meditate, would you like to join me early morning, next time ? even though we were told to live our lives for this very moment ;)

The impressive energy of the Lam Rim Meditation !

FSQ NOTE: Notice the blue energy AND the white energy around my head after 10 days of Lam Rim Meditation Retreat.

Blue energy representing Medicine Buddha and white energy representing Chenrigz. We were told to visualise that for the past 10 days and this is the result ! By the way, I have been meditating since 1994, about 15 years.

Thank you, Amithaba Buddhist Centre, Singapore.

6 Fengshui Tips for you !

Hi, it's been quite a while since I write on this blog however, everyday I still write but it's a private blog for over 210 members and which should end by 31st March 2010. It's been tough but nevertheless enjoyable.

;)

2008 had been a great year and so is 2009 so far and I have heard from some of my clients that what they earn now in 2009 far exceeds what they earn in 2008 and this comes from the property agents and I am so happy for them because not every year is the same though we do wish so especially when we have had a fantastic year. At the end of each fiscal year, relax and take a break, go for a holiday then come back and *cheong* again.

Here are 6 fengshui tips for you to mull over while I am in Nepal for my Lam Rim Meditation Retreat:
1) Don't take pork if you are born in the animal sign of pig. Make sense right, can't eat yourself if not your luck would not be good. So if you are born a goat, you are not suppose to take mutton and so on.

2) When buying a property choose those windy areas or condos that are aligned in the North/South facing. Every fengshui master take their facing differently so ask them *where* they take the facing is it at the main door or elsewhere ?

3) In the year of the Ox, many people have skin related problems and this is common.

4) Every day after work try to find something that you like to unwind. This improves your health and good health is wealth.

5) Do merits and continue to donate money when you can or when opportunities arise. Come to Kopan Nunnery Fund raising dinner on 7 Nov 2009. Call Amitabha Buddhist Centre (ABC) at 6745-8547 if you wish to attend and support the Kopan Nunnery at Nepal, they need your support and I will be there...... so see you !

6) Try to spend some time each day to thank all those who have helped you in one way or another. This helps build your *loving heart* to care for everyone around you.

Registration opens on 19 October 2009 !
