This course was attended not only by Malaysians students of the Mastery Academy but also had the presence of students from Hong Kong and Japan. These students were eager to attend this special class as Joey Yap himself was conducting the course.
This course focused a lot on exploring and sharing secrets from Ba Zhai Ming
Jing (Eight Mansions Guiding Mirror) and Huang Di Zhai Jing (Yellow Emperor
House Classics) on Eight Mansions. Here, students learnt how to assess stars
in Eight Mansions, how different sectors influence the Eight Mansions stars,
and how different Ming Gua reacts and responds differently to different Eight
Mansions stars in different sectors of the home.
Students were also taught how to assess external forms, not just Green Dragon and White Tiger but also on how to use visual and physical recognition criteria as well as intricate formulas to assess external land formations. They had an added bonus when they were taught how the 5 Ghost Carry Treasure was developed (the full theory behind the formula), how it works and more importantly, to know the side effects and when it will NOT be applicable in their practice.
They were also delighted to learn all the theories and the "why's" behind each and every formula that were given to them. Some remarked that they were taught these formulas from other schools but were not given details about the WHY's and more importantly the side effects and weaknesses of each of these formula.
Students also learnt how to fully memorize and use the 81 Combinations without the need to make notes or memorize word for word. Joey taught them a method that once understood, the 81 Flying Star combinations becomes an automatic tool available at their fingertips. A student claimed that this alone was worth the cost of the whole course as he could not get this understanding from any Chinese books in the market. Students were in awe when combinations that was seemingly bad like 2-5 or 3-2 were now usable if they knew the right Xuan Kong method. This goes to show that by understanding the methods, things are possible.
The course ended in a high note with photo sessions and book signings. Joey
Yap's recently launched book - BaZi Destiny Code was well received by all his
students who took home a copy for themselves.
