Pa-Kua Poster Now Available

Pa-Kua Sign Delivers Us from Evil.

This sign encapsulates the healing, balancing, harmonizing, righteous and loving powers in the universe.  It radiates and shields people with these powers.

One Yin and one Yang form what is called Tao (Yi-Ching).  According to archeological evidence, around twelve thousand years ago prehistoric ancients already knew how to utilize the positive and negative concepts of Yin and Yang.  About eight thousand years ago during the Emperor Fu-Shi Dynasty, the ancients began to use the male symbol —- to represent Yang and the female symbol —  — to represent Yin.  Yin-Yang and their interactions and interrelations were represented by the Tai Chi symbol (intertwined black and white “fishes” shown above).  During that time Yin and Yang were used in an algebraic formula (—- + – – )³, which produced the following results —-³ + —-² – – + —-  – –² + – –³ [exactly as in (a+b)³ = a³ + a²b + ab² + b³].

All eight three-trigrams lined diagrams (called trigrams) are called Pa-Kua.  At the most elemental level, each came to symbolize a natural phenomenon, which respectively are: Heaven, Wind, Fire, Lake, Thunder, Water, Mountain and Earth.  Five thousand years ago during the Yellow Emperor Dynasty, people imparted upon the Pa-Kua the principles of the Five-Element Theory, presented in the Yellow Emperor classes called Nei-Ching Su-Wen or “Internal Medicine”.  Consequently the Pa-Kua was aligned with the eight major points on the compass and assigned its intrinsic color.  Heaven is located northwest and is colored gold; wind, southeast and light blue; fire, south and red; lake, west and silver; thunder, east and blue; water, north and black; mountain, northeast and yellow; earth, southwest and brown/orange.

Beyond the level of physical laws, the eight trigrams represent all the remaining phenomenon in the universe, such as laws of spirituality, healing, economics, reproduction, success, etc…  For complete details, please consult The Great Tao and/or an Ordained Taoist Minister with TheQiInstitute and the Foundation of Tao.

Thousands of years of research and arranging with greatest efficiency all the universal concepts—multiple meanings on multiple levels— into a compact symbol of perfect balance finally resulted in what is called the Later Heaven Chart, pictured above.  Although many earlier, incomplete arrangements exist, the unique Later Heaven Chart has been proven in beneficial effectiveness throughout its five thousand year history.  No one should alter it for any reason; otherwise the energy of its perfect balance would be broken.  Where there is imbalance, people will know and suffer its devastating consequences: psychological and physical torment such as depression, distress, illness etc…  The emanation from all the laws and perfect balance of the universe encapsulated in the chart is the only power to counteract imbalance.  When balance is restored, happiness, health, healing, wisdom, success, etc. is restored.

Due to its environment-altering power, the Pa-Kua is the fundamental Fengshui chart.  Since every dwelling is constructed under limited circumstances or conditions, every dwelling possesses more or less some kind of defect.  In some cases the defects will never be remedied.  The easiest way to correct the problem is to simply hang one or more Pa-Kua posters (framed or unframed) wherever needed in the house.  The vibration of balanced energy will permeate instantaneously, promoting spiritual harmony leading to palpably happy atmospheres.

If meditation is done in front of this poster, the spiritual, mental and physical folds of the body will reach a high level of inner peace instantaneously.  Used this way it is a powerful tool for overall healing.

To enable more people to easily use the chart, a Pa-Kua poster is available for a limited time.  25″x 32″.  Quality printed exactly as it should appear, in brilliant colors with gold and silver foil embossing.  Framable (can be hung as a work of art in the office, living room, bedroom etc…).  A portion of the proceeds of each poster is a donation to Dr. Chang’s Foundation of Tao via TheQiInstitute.

2020 Year of the Yang Metal Rat

We began the transition from the year of the Yin Earth Pig/Boar , with the year of the Yang Metal Rat celebration beginning January 25th, 2020. GengZi 庚子, the Year of the Golden (Yang Metal) Rat begins February 4, 2020. This is also the “real” first day of spring, the commonly accepted Western first day of spring March 20th is actually the peak of spring, each day after we transition towards Summer. The last day of the year of the Rat is February 11, 2021. The Lunar New Year (Chinese New Year) occurs on the second new moon after the winter solstice. The festival lasts approximately two weeks and ends with the Full Moon Festival of Heaven or Festival of Lanterns on February 8th.

The Rat begins a new twelve year cycle and the next Metal Rat year will not occur again until 2080. As the story is told, when the Jade Emperor gathered the animals together to create the calendar the Rat was riding on the back of the Ox and when they were approaching the Emperor the Rat jumped off the Ox’s back and ran to the Emperor, thus arriving first. The Ox second, followed by the other animals with the Pig/Boar last. Hence the order of the 12 Animal system.

Each Rat year is a sign of a new beginning a type of renewal with a new energy cycle. “The Rat symbol is symbolic of adaptability, kindness, creativity, foresight, and intelligence. It is also known for success, expanse, stealth, strength, and the ability to solve problems that other people cannot. (Master Tang)”

Ken Cohen states the “Positive Side: The fact that this year is the beginning of the 12-year cycle and the elements are in harmony means that it should be a relatively good year for creativity, prosperity, education, romance, and to re-dedicate yourself to health and balance.

Negative Side: However, because earth element is lacking and metal could be interpreted as sinking into the water, it is important to be extra careful that you build a stable foundation under whatever you do—whether building a house, studying a subject, or starting a new job or relationship. Also, metal and water are cold and relate to autumn and winter. The cold attitude of people in a position of power or authority and the cold nature of large institutions, such as government and corporations, will be even more apparent, which means continuing worldwide protests against injustice, especially in the autumn and winter seasons. It is interesting to note that the Boxer Rebellion, one of the most famous Chinese revolts against colonialism, peaked in 1900, a Metal Rat Year. (Ken Cohen)”

“As I mentioned in my Winter Greetings in early November 2019, the cosmological energy this winter season has weakened the lung function and/or immune system of many… The off-season warmth many of us experienced this winter is turning towards a cold spring and this pattern of cosmological Qi I am afraid will not be much better for many people. The new cold spring Qi has already begun to influence those people who suffer from joint pain and/or lower back pain. It is possible that this pattern is also weakening the function of some people’s liver, heart, and/or lung. Even now near the close of the winter season, the world is watching the Wuhan coronavirus as it spreads in China and beyond. In Chinese tradition, Rat is a symbol for brilliance, deep wisdom and strong new life energy. It has the most honored position of being the very first animal symbol in the Chinese zodiac. Rat brings the power to shake off any old patterns of stagnation to create power and usher in new energy into your life. The Rat is inherently noble and prosperous. Perhaps under the influence of Yang Metal energy, this year brings the potential for double prosperity into our lives? The word for “metal” in Chinese in Jin , which we also use to mean gold. (Master Wu)”

In our article 2019 Year of the Yin Earth Pig, we predicted based on prior Earth Pig years “we see the tendency for: severe weather, erratic weather patterns (as in the USA deep freeze of 1899), buildup of tensions with communist/socialist groups and countries, promotion of/use of electric cars, expansion of trade, revolutionary inventions (vulcanized rubber production), etc… JiHai己亥 (Yin Earth Pig) energy suggests that we will have even more dramatic, changing weather patterns in coming year. The extremely dangerous cold that has descended upon the US, from the Midwest to the East Coast, these last several days, is a signal of the upcoming weather craziness this year.

Processed meats containing this preservative are linked to colon cancer

Processed meats preserved with sodium nitrite may cause cancer, research suggests.

The World Cancer Research Fund recommends eating “very little, if any, processed meat because there is strong evidence it is a cause of bowel cancer”.

Whether hot dogs, bacon or sausages, processed meat is defined as an animal product that has been salted, cured, fermented or smoked to enhance its flavour and prolong its shelf life.

While all processed meats were once tarred with the “cancer brush”, scientists from Queen’s University Belfast argue only those preserved with sodium nitrite carry a risk.

2019 Year of the Yin Earth Pig

We began the transition from the year of the Yang Earth Dog in January 2019, with the year of the Yin Earth Pig/Boar beginning February 4th 2019. This is also the “real” first day of spring, the commonly accepted Western first day of spring March 20th is actually the peak of spring, each day after we transition towards Summer.

Pigs are diligent, compassionate, and generous. They have great concentration, once they set a goal, they will devote all their energy to achieving it. Pigs never suspect trickery, and are susceptible to being fooled.

Pigs are fairly calm when faced with trouble. No matter how difficult the problems are, they can handle things properly and carefully.

Master Zhongxian Wu states, “in China, the pig is a symbol of relaxation, caution, bravery, knowledge and faith. Chinese parents are happy to have babies born during the year of the Pig, as they believe the children will be blessed with an easy going personality, great intelligence and will grow to have a rich, noble life. (https://bluewillow88.wordpress.com/2019/02/08/xinniankuaile/)”

2019 being a Yin Earth Pig year is very interesting, given that Earth and Pigs are also Yin. This will magnify the traits of being: reflective, gathering, patience, waiting, being resourceful, etc… Earth also represents hidden potential, silence, retreat, passiveness. “Even though the earth is a great supplier, it does so silently. Human life does not go on forever (nothing does); sooner or later it will reach an end. This is a fact. Nobody should feel sad or regretful, because it cannot be prevented. Instead people should develop an attitude of confronting and dealing with an ending or stopping. But human nature favors startings and rejects endings, celebrates developings and regrets sustainings. Why must this be so, when much goodness can be derived from a stop?… The principle of withdrawal and how one utilizes it can work in favor of one’s objectives and constitute a great wisdom. Therefore, cultivating an attitude of withdrawal is beneficial… (Dr. Chang,Integral Management of Tao )”

The pig represents the end of the Chinese animal zodiac cycle, and earth, as stated above also represents and ending. Pig years are a great time to reflect on the lessons of the prior years, and making preparations for the new cycle which will occur in 2020.

Earth pig years are a great time for prosperity, being fortunate and lucky, however, it is important to balance this out with proper mindfulness as to not become greedy—fat, lazy etc…

This is a great year to get your personal and business finances in order and to come up with plans to reduce debt and increase savings/investments.

In our article 2018 Year of the Yang Earth Dog, we predicted based on prior Earth Dog years that “Nationally and globally, there is the potential for things to be “all over the place”, however, usually the nature of the Earth will calm down the tendency for the dog to fight for control, dominance or power. Prior Dog years saw expansion and innovation of space exploration, and also saw buildups to military conflict in the Middle East and Cuba, Spain, South Africa etc… Nuclear issues became a major concern in 1958 with the buildup of arsenals and several accidents involving nuclear weapons.”

When we examine prior Earth Pig years we see the tendency for: severe weather, erratic weather patterns (as in the USA deep freeze of 1899), buildup of tensions with communist/socialist groups and countries, promotion of/use of electric cars, expansion of trade, revolutionary inventions (vulcanized rubber production), etc… “JiHai 己亥 (Yin Earth Pig) energy suggests that we will have even more dramatic, changing weather patterns in coming year. The extremely dangerous cold that has descended upon the US, from the Midwest to the East Coast, these last several days, is a signal of the upcoming weather craziness this year. (Master Wu)”

2018 Year of the Yang Earth Dog

The transition from the year of the Yin Fire Rooster began January 2018, with the year of the Yang Earth Dog beginning February 4th 2018. This is also the “real” first day of spring, the commonly accepted Western first day of spring March 20th this year is actually the peak of spring, each day after we transition towards Summer.

What traits come to mind when you think of a dog: loyalty, courage, playfulness, protector, hunter, intelligence, empathy, leadership (alpha), stubborn, etc… In Taoism the Earth element represents: retreat, passiveness, silence. Even though the earth is a great supplier it does so silently. This being a Yang year will amplify the nature of the Dog, however, the Earth will help temper the potential to exaggerate these traits.

Master Wu stated: “According to Chinese cosmology, the Earth Dog Year of 2018 will start on LiChun立春, February 4 at 05:28 (Beijing time), while Chinese New Year’s day this year will be February 16… For this coming energetic year, the Dog animal sign (Earthly Branch) indicates that the specific energetic qualities of nature associated with the Dog (such as intuitive, smart, artistic, cautious, social, honest, loyal, uneasy, evasive, or stubborn energy) will exert their influences on us human beings.

When properly harnessed, Dog energy will help you channel your truthful and creative nature towards completing tasks and striving to achieve your life’s greatest goals.

Left unchecked, Dog energy can easily trap you in some physical or emotional obstacle(s) that will make it virtually impossible to get anything done. (Master Zhongxian Wu)

Earth Dog years are usually a good time to make progress on your goals, setup security etc… Be wary of the tendency to lash out quickly, temper your bark and bite or things could escalate quickly. Nurture the good attributes of the dog; this is not the time to be a rogue wolf, team building with the pack will ensure success.

Nationally and globally, there is the potential for things to be “all over the place”, however, usually the nature of the Earth will calm down the tendency for the dog to fight for control, dominance or power.

Prior Dog years saw expansion and innovation of space exploration, and also saw buildups to military conflict in the Middle East and Cuba, Spain, South Africa etc… Nuclear issues became a major concern in 1958 with the buildup of arsenals and several accidents involving nuclear weapons.

Let’s look at three prior Earth Dog years 1958, 1898 and 1838:
