GRAVEYARD FENG SHUI

In ancient China, Emperors, Kings, Generals and any figure trying to promote themselves, would use graveyard Feng Shui to improve their situation and if necessary destroy their opponents.

Graveyard Feng Shui relates to the positioning of the graves of our ancestors. Because there is a genetic link created by DNA between parents and their offspring, any positive or negative energy affecting the burial site will have a corresponding beneficial or adverse affect on the future generations of that family. Therefore placing their relatives graves in the most auspicious position was of paramount importance and desecrating the graves of one's enemies' ancestors was common practice.

It may surprise you to think people believed in and used Feng Shui then and even more amazing that they still do. Nothing has changed and Governments and major Businesses, still use exactly the same tactics, only now it is in the international arena of politics and business.

In Hong Kong, businessmen pay large amounts of money to correct their Feng Shui. Some of my friends told me that the Hong Kong Shanghai Bank paid £50,000 for a Feng Shui expert to correct their Feng Shui. This is very common in Hong Kong to improve business. Although many people disbelieve Feng Shui, there are also those who feign disbelief but secretly use it to destroy their opponents. After the handover of Hong Kong in June 1997 people are talking about and becoming increasingly aware of the role of Feng Shui in the home and in businesses.

FENG SHUI CONFRONTATION

An example of this is the aggressive design of the Bank of China, against the Hong Kong Shanghai Bank and Standard Charter which represents British trade in Hong Kong. The design incorporates mirrors to flash light at the nearest buildings, interfering with the occupants' health, business potential and power. The top of the Bank of China is designed like a triangle, which represents their ruthlessness in business through greater financial resource from the Chinese government. Visually, from a long distance it looks like a chopper, cutting into the heart of Hong Kong...and that is exactly what it is.

The Bank of China is built on the right hand side of the Hong Kong Shanghai Bank and Standard Charter, (the right being the White Tiger side). This negatively affects the Hong Kong Shanghai Bank and Standard Charter by isolating them in business and making it less likely for people to help them. Although they designed part of the rooftop structure to look like two cannons to fight back, this still makes very little difference. An analogy would be like a person trying to defend themselves with two small chopsticks against a giant chopper.

BANK OF CHINA

The most important point about the triangle of the Bank of China is that it is facing the Hong Kong Governors building, which represented the political, financial and economic power of Hong Kong. By doing this, the Bank of China aimed to destroy the centre of Hong Kong's power. However, in an attempt to defend himself, the Governor employed the services of a Feng Shui Master and grew trees between his residence and the Bank of China. At a basic level of Feng Shui this makes sense as it provides a physical barrier against the power directed against them. Unfortunately that Feng Shui Master forgot that different symbols represent different elements. For example a rectangle represents wood; a square represents Earth and a triangle represents fire ...... Anyone who has learnt Feng Shui should know the 5 elements. Earth creates metal; metal creates water; water creates wood; wood creates fire and fire creates earth. Therefore the Triangle of the bank of China represents fire and the trees represent wood. This means that growing the trees will actually increase the power of the triangle in the same way that wood kindles a fire.

SMOOTH HONG KONG HANDOVER

I said that the way for the Hong Kong Government to protect themselves was to use the Earth element to re-direct the power or Water to destroy it. However this was not to be and Hong Kong peacefully reverted to China in June 1997. This was a positive use of Feng Shui from the Chinese Government's point of view to weaken the British position resulting in a smooth handover with no real trouble.

The Governor of Hong Kong had the chance to change the situation and avoid any bad consequences, but it was no longer important. Although they employed the services of a Feng Shui Master at the time, they were still unable to help themselves. We have to conclude therefore that this was the fate and that the power of Hong Kong would go to China and there was nothing the British Government could do.

In February 1997 for a CNE Feng Shui programme, I used Chinese astrology and Feng Shui to predict a smooth Hong Kong handover. This has come true and this was a very peaceful handover. Hence the reason why Government house is now a museum!
