The Fool’s Journey

If you are familiar to using Tarot Cards, you will notice most of the tarot deck has the Fool as the beginning card, the starting of the journey through life. The Fool’s Journey is a metaphor for the journey through our life.

We begin with the Fool (0), a card of beginnings. The Fool stands for each of us as we begin our journey of life. We are a fool because only a simple soul has the innocent faith to undertake such a journey with all its hazards and pain.
At the start of our trip, the Fool is a newborn – fresh, open and spontaneous.

You will see that in the Fool Card, the man has his arms flung wide, and his head held high. He is ready to embrace whatever comes his way, but he is also oblivious to the cliff edge he is about to cross. The Fool is unaware of the hardships he will face as he ventures out to learn the lessons of the world. Isn’t this familiar in our life?

The Fool stands somewhat outside the rest of the major arcana. Zero is an unusual number. It rests in the exact middle of the number system – poised between the positive and negative. At birth, the Fool is set in the middle of his own individual universe. He is strangely empty (as is zero), but imbued with a desire to go forth and learn. This undertaking would seem to be folly, but is it?

It is important that we realize that we are the Fool and the Journey of the Fool is our own adventure through the magical realm of archetypal energies. The Fool an everyman character,is how we begin and how we end, from our childish wobbles and gibberish to our drooling dotage.

“The fool doth think he is wise, but the wise man knows himself to be a fool.” – Touchstone in ‘As You Like It’

Namaste!

Personal Treasure Map (自宝图): The BFT

Last quarter of 2015 was a fulfilling and creative earth experience for Katherine. Not only have i managed to solo backpack for 3 months without much/any disturbance (one of my bucket list), i have also created a new concept/technique on the area of annual luck analysis. Its a breakthrough for me in my spiritual practice.

When we talk about annual luck analysis, people will be drawn to horoscope, bazi, divinatory readings such as tarot reading or animal zodiacs reading etc…

Katherine has recently gave birth to a new technique of reading – The BFT.

BFT is a mapping technique engineered using the combine ancient knowledge of Treasures Mapping with Feng Shui , Spirituality and Tarot Grids. Katherine has successfully combined the ancient art of Feng Shui (Bazi , Elemental & Energy , Space & Dimensions), Bagua Mapping and the study of guidance known as Tarot Grids Programming (TGP) created by Katherine in the last quarter of 2015.

Navigate through the tarot , symbols, elements and I Ching of Feng Shui to learn how your house can become a 3-D Treasure Map! Analysis BFT to know how one can navigate the year smooth sailing.

Let BFT be your Guides on an adventure to CHANGE YOUR LIFE!

So what is BFT?

B = Bagua Grid Map

Feng shui bagua (also called ba-gua or pakua) is one of the main tools used in feng shui to analyze the energy of any given space, be it home, office or garden. Basically, bagua is the feng shui energy map of your space that shows you which areas of your home or office are connected to specific areas of your life. Translated from Chinese, Bagua literally means “8 areas.”

Each of the 8 feng shui areas, or directions, has a specific feng shui element, feng shui color, as well as life area connected to it. For example, your North bagua area is connected to the energy of your career success, your Southwest area influences your Love and Marriage energy dynamic, etc.

A bagua grid map is a way of dividing the space on a life drawn on a board to correspond to all of the different components of your life.

F = Flying Star Chart on a Person’s Bazi

Xuan Kong Flying Star feng shui or Xuan Kong Fei Xing is one of disciplines in Feng Shui, and is an integration of the principles of Yin Yang, the interactions between the five elements, the eight trigrams, the Lo Shu numbers, and the 24 Mountains, by using time, space and objects to create an astrological chart to analyze positive auras and negative auras of a space.

.fs2016Above is the 2016 Flying Star Chart

With the same concept, we can also create a personal flying star chart on a person based on their bazi.

T = Tarot Energy Grid

Many of you may have heard me talking about our 7 chakras. Do you know that there are also 7 Earth Chakras? On this earth, we have 7 wonders of the world. These are locations throughout the earth that are highly spiritually. Many of you will recognize these:

earth chakras

  1. Mount Shasta of California
  2. Machu Piccu of Peru (This is where my school is located – The Gaia Om School of the Highest Order)
  3. Uluru and Kata Tjuta of Australia 
  4. Glastonbury and Shaftesbury, England (home of the Holy Grail )
  5. Great Pyramind of Egypt – Mount Sinai (I went there during my honeymoon in 2011 – See some photos below)
  6. The 6th location is said to shift every few hundred years or so. There is no definite location
  7. Himalayan Mountains of Tibet ( I been there in 2004, unfortunately, my photos at that time are those films format and its troublesome for me to share online)

Long story short – Through out the earth we have areas that are more in alignment with our own energy and if you are living in a place that does not vibe well for your energy, you may want to consider a move.

I talk about the 7 major points on earth because I want you all to understand that energy grids are significant. If you have ever been to a specific area in the world that you felt completely at home with (for me so far are Bruges, Netherlands , Egypt, Bhutan , Tibet , Shangri-La and Peru)  you have just experienced the energy grid. Many people who live in areas where they are miserable, it could be partly due to being in an area that is not good for them energy wise.

A Core tarot deck with Core Keys (a deck that is charged and objective/vision of the tarot theme matches the owner’s akashic records and bazi) holds strong personal earth energy grids too. This is because of the vibrations from their bazi and the akashic recorded data embedded through chanting and visualisation processes in their energetic cortex.

With the help of a core tarot deck, we can then run through the annual yearly luck analysis through the tarot grids – (Accuracy is 101/100%, at least on myself and 18 others done in 2016).

Tarot grids programming is almost mirrored to the earth grids with 7 chakras , 10 vile vortexes , 5 elements vortexes, 12 foundations and finally 72 bonds. Total up to 106 tiles. Together with the knowledge – The Law of One i have been studying , researching and applying, produces the creation of Tarot Grids Programming.

Conclusion

Integrating Bagua Map , a person’s annual Flying Star Chart and Tarot Grid Programming bring us the knowledge of Personal Treasure Map (自宝图): The BFT. Let BFT be your Guides on an adventure to CHANGE YOUR LIFE always for the better!

Life as ONE Consciousness but we may have forgotten.

Life is like a Puzzle. We should live life Curiously.

Life is like a Map for us to find our journey Home.

Every earth soul holds their Treasure Map on Earth.  The treasures are our Personal Experiences.

By navigating our treasure map with Awareness, we can Enhance our Life Experiences.

Maybe, just maybe, we can go Home – back to our Source Earlier and Fuller! 

Re-unite AS ONE again.

10th Jan 2016 Connective Session: Emotion Peeling Process

2016 is going to be an important year of healing for our planet. Let’s all step into the role of a healer and start healing ourselves first. When we feel bliss, our mama earth will too be healed in some level, for we are part of this integrated system together.

Would you like to know your shadow side? Would you like to know how to integrate and cherish unwanted aspects of yourself? Would you like to follow your bliss?

In our gathering, we dived deep into our psyche, find our shadow side and Katherine gave practical advise on how to integrate it and heal ourselves to feel whole again. We used the tarot cards to find our blockages and Katherine advise us to follow our bliss in life.

We have experienced shifts of frequencies thereby shifting our thoughts and energy patterns through our session. Katherine worked to remove deep core emotional blockages in everyone through the support from our Universe. Kath is humbled and honoured of this gift.

Emotional healing is never linear but is likened to peeling an onion.

In the healing process, Katherine guided on what the tarot card is showing us. From the most basic level, we worked deep into our psyche to find our shadow side and what are our blockages and then worked on each consciousness level. This is a process Katherine termed as “Emotion Peeling” Process. Every layers of peeling is similar to “emotion surgery and applying of medication on your emotional wounds”. Kath guarantees that everyone can be healed and will recover back with Love , Joy and Peace. The only catch is We Must Allow the healing to take place.

We started the session with “THE DISSOLVING SHADOWS MEDITATION”

“Why would you want to do this”
Because the Shadow Feminine represents all those parts of ourselves that we hide away because we don’t feel good enough, shameful, ugly etc. But she is persistent and she doesn’t like being suppressed, so she will show up in your life as the Saboteur, the Crazy Maker or the Drama Queen.
When we meet with the Shadow Feminine she provides us with an opportunity to dig beneath the surface, find our beauty, our strengths and our gifts; and in doing so we set ourselves free from being afraid of our shadow.
Meeting and embracing the Shadow Feminine is one gorgeous stepping in reclaiming and owning our Personal Power!

The shadow’s only purpose is to define who and what you are by being what you are not. That is its only purpose. Once that purpose has been fulfilled and you feel your soul again then the shadow can and must dissolve.

You must now live your True Self. The perfect Soul.

Shadows are not you. They are not who you are.
You are Light, You are Peace , Love, Joy, Goodness and this Soul. You are true and honest Light of God, This is what you are in your everyday life. You must honestly be true to yourSelf. Never sublimate, hide from or deny these shadows again always. Look at them honestly and dissolve them immediately.

Trust that all of you have a meaningful and nourishing time together with Kath again.

Namaste! Om !

With Love & Hugs.

19th Dec 2015 Connective Session: Shadow Attributes

Its great to catch up with all of you again after 3.5months break.

We had the chance to discuss on the subject ” Shadow Attributes” or what the common folks called “Inner Darkness”.

Facing and embracing your inner darkness has nothing to do with becoming evil. It is also not an impossible task that will overwhelm and destroy you. It’s looking at all you, and only you can embrace all of you. One of the biggest problems many of us face come from running from our inner darkness. Some people go to great lengths to do all kinds of good deeds to try to erase, counterbalance, or avoid their darkness, but wherever you go, there it is. When unconfronted, the darkness thrives. It exists precisely because we don’t look at it. That is the nature of the dark. It is the absence of the light. Just start to turn and look at it, and already it is evaporating.

In psychology, the dark side of human nature is often described as the alter ego, the id, or the lower self. The great Swiss psychiatrist Carl Jung called it the “shadow.” By shadow, he meant the negative side of the personality, the sum total of all those unpleasant qualities that we would prefer to hide.

Kath leveraged on Ghetto Tarot (a photographic interpretation deck) to guide us to interpreting our shadows. We then went on to understanding our shadows and how to dissolve these shadows through the guidance of the tarot.

By knowing our shadows, we created awareness of it. Then we should acknowledged and faced it courageously.

5 Tips For Facing Your Shadows

  1. Get an outside perspective. Many people are so mired in their beliefs that they have no perspective about themselves or how they influence other people. This is good time to ask for outside perspectives from friends and family. You will also have to learn how to listen to criticism, which is always a worthwhile spiritual practice.
  2. Journal. Now, that you have some more perspective, it’s time to sit down and consider what people are telling you about how you act and how you treat others. Why do you act that way? Why do you treat others the way you do? These are some starter questions to get you going.
  3. Be vulnerable. There’s no comfortable way to be uncomfortable, and a lot of those painful feelings are going to make you feel intensely vulnerable. Lean into this discomfort and see what you find.
  4. Keep breathing. Especially when some old pain and trauma starts surfacing, it’s easy to let the ego-self convince us that we’re being overwhelmed and can’t handle it. Keep breathing. Focus even more on your breathing the more intense the emotion coming up. Emotions are always in motion, so they will pass, possibly making space for a new self discovery.
  5. Find help. If you really are struggling, this is why spiritual healers, therapists, psychologist, psychiatrists, and spiritual teachers exist. Asking for help can be a really important step in facing things that feel too frightening to look at on your own.

In our future sessions, we will continue to listen deeply to our souls so that we start setting goals in total alignment with what our SOUL is craving for.

We will continue to discuss topics that will nourished our limited time on earth. Am sure all of you will emerged everyday as more innovative and successful CREATOR of your life.

Namaste.

With Love & Hugs.

12th Oct 2014 Connective Session: The Mirror Spread

In this class, we explored  a tarot spread layout – The Mirror Reflective Spread.

This is a fourteen card Tarot spread that looks at the internal and external part of the subject or events. We should read the 14  cards individually and proceed reading the 14 cards to one big picture of the reading.

The Mirror Spread of the Tarot is a very effective tool for gaining insight into problems or difficulties concerning relationships ; any form of relationships. For instance, relationship with self, romance partners, business partners etc…

Preparing to Lay Out the Mirror Spread

Each Tarot reader will have a different way of preparing for a reading. Some meditate, some just jump right in. Most will have a ritual of some kind, even if it only involves unwrapping the Tarot cards from their protective black cloth and spreading this cloth upon the reading surface.

For the Mirror Spread, both the Major Arcana and the Minor Arcana should be shuffled together. There is no firm rule for shuffling these cards. Most Tarot readers simply shuffle until they are satisfied, and then proceed with the reading.  I usually advise people to shuffle their age to cleanse the existing energies of their deck before they proceed on a new question.While shuffling, it is important that you maintain absolute focus on the relationship in question.

Once shuffled, all seventy-eight Tarot cards should be spread face-down. Then making sure that each card is placed precisely. The more precise the placement, the more accurate the reading.

The Mirror Spread of the Tarot can reveal depths to a relationship, new or old, of which you may not have been aware. Remember that any major life decision should not be made solely based on what a Tarot spread may or may not indicate. However, the Mirror Spread can be used to gain additional insight/guidance when it is needed.

Till our next session.

Namaste!

7th Sept 2014 Connective Session: Tarot Major Arcana

The Major Arcana Tarot card meanings illustrate the structure of human consciousness and, as such, hold the keys to life lessons passed down through the ages. The imagery of the Major Arcana Tarot cards is filled with wisdom from multiple cultures and esoteric traditions, including the Egyptian, Buddhist, Hindu, Sufi, Hebrew and Christian religions.

The word ‘arcana’ is the plural of ‘arcanum’, which means ‘profound secret’. To the alchemists of the Middle Ages, the ‘arcanum’ was the ‘secret of nature’.

Therefore, the Tarot is a collection of the ‘secrets’ that underlie and explain our complex Universe.

The Major Arcana alone can interpret their messages regarding the soul’s journey through life, and the archetypal aspects of your character. The Major Arcana symbolizes the aspects of the Universal human experiences. They represent the archetypes and patterns of influence that are an inherent part of human nature.

Therefore it is important to study the images of the Major Arcana cards and contemplate their messages. Look beyond the simple keywords and traditional Tarot card meanings, and seek out your own personal meanings of these significant cards. The more you understand about their symbolism, the deeper your understanding of what they represent.

This class we delve deeper into each major arcana. Each participant is given a list of keywords associated with each major card. It is possible to conduct a Tarot reading only using the twenty-two Major Arcana cards. This method is typically used for Tarot readings relating to spiritual self-awareness or where you require deep insight from the collective unconscious.

Till our next session in end September.

Namaste!

30th August 2014 Connective Session: Tarot Numerology

One of the most ancient applications of the science of Numerology has to do with the design and creation of the Tarot cards.

The numbers on each Tarot card are enormously significant in the interpretation of their meanings. Each Tarot card is specifically numbers, and the images on each card reverberates in order to convey its meaning to the reader or interpreter, who then analyses such matters as current issues, relationships, future options and choices and the like.

Numerology is the study of numbers and their incredible effect on our lives. Numerology could, however, be better named ‘The Science of Numbers’. Numbers have been in existence since the beginning of time and predates all Alphabets.

This class we invest our time to study numbers with our tarots. A list of number 0-9 are given to the participants together with corresponding keywords to guide us along. For example, the number 7 is a spiritual number. Key words associated with number 7 includes: natural healer, inner-strength,inner-selves, intuition, inner-knowing etc..

Each number has a different vibration, and can therefore give us a better understanding of one’s pathway, and the circumstances which surround our life. It can direct one to the career best suited to each person, and gives us the opportunity to be more aware of the talents we have and of the pathways we choose to utilize them. It also tells us of the compatibility we have with another, especially who would be most compatible as a partner for you. It tells you how you may best help your family and friends, due to the numbers which control their lives.

Each number is influenced by a different planet in our Solar System. Each letter of the alphabet vibrates to a given number, 1 – 9, which is also the span of our life cycles. These numbers under which we were born, plus the numbers in our names, are the tools we are given in order that we may accomplish our mission in life, and enable us to work through all our Karmic Lessons. The Vibratory Power of each number affects us in both Positive and Negative ways.

Combining your tarot reading with numerology gives in depth reading to the enquirer. 

Start appreciating numbers with your tarot.

Namaste!
