Methods of
Chinese Metaphysics
Chinese Metaphysics is an old Chinese science studying time, space and events. It has been used since ancient times for predictions and forecasting. Practitioners of metaphysics have always been important advisors to the emperors in China and around Asia.
Amongst the many different types and schools of Chinese Metaphysics, we specialize in Ba Zi, Qi Men Dun Jia and Yi Jing.
​
The essence of Chinese Metaphysics is Qi, the invisible life force of the universe. The concept of Qi can be a bit difficult to understand, as it cannot be seen or touched. Qi can be compared to a WiFi signal. A bad WiFi signal is like an annoying blockage, which brings about obstacles and problems. A good WiFi signal helps us get what we want much faster. It opens up a vast variety of opportunities and enables us to achieve our goals.

BaZi - Chinese Astrology
Ba Zi is the classical system of Chinese astrology, which dates back to the Tang dynasty (617 - 907). It is similar to western astrology but is based on the Chinese solar calendar.
Ba Zi is a way of destiny analysis. However, it should not be confused with fortune-telling or the superficial horoscopes we find in magazines.
Literally translated, Ba Zi means eight characters. It is also known as the four pillars of destiny.
The basic theory is that every one of us is affected by certain universal energies at the time of birth. Your own personal Ba Zi chart displays this energy imprint at birth. This destiny chart is based on your exact time of birth - the year, month, day and hour.
Your personal chart shows your life potential, colorful personality, unique talents, strengths and weaknesses. It also detects possible difficulties or challenges you might encounter in your life.

However, your destiny is not carved in stone. You can create and design your own destiny, depending on the decisions you make and the actions you take. Your Ba Zi chart is like a road map, which shows different paths through life. You choose which path to walk on.
​During a Ba Zi consultation, the personal destiny chart is analyzed using ancient metaphysical theories. These include the principle of Yin & Yang and the five elements with their interactions. Continuous changes over time are also taken into consideration.
Ba Zi gives you awareness, clarity and direction in life and enables you to make better, informed decisions. You can use it as a guideline to improve yourself and become the best version of yourself. It offers an upgrade to your life. You will be able to create the lifestyle you want and live a happy, successful and fulfilled life.

Yi Jing
Commonly known as the Book of Changes, Yi Jing is the foundation of many Asian philosophies and the basis of Confucianism and Taoism.
The origin of Yi Jing dates back to about 2000 BCE when Fu Xi created the original eight trigrams. Emperor Wen (1112 - 1050 BCE) of the Zhou dynasty combined the eight trigrams and created the order of the 64 Hexagrams as it is known today. The influence of Yi Jing spanned far over the borders of ancient China. Other parts of Asia like Korea and Japan formed their own interpretations of the book.
In Yi Jing, the word Yi means change, whereas Jing is the classics. Yi Jing is one of the oldest Chinese classic texts about the ever-changing nature of our universe. Since ancient times, it has served as a tool of divination. People drew guidance for all aspects of life from its wisdom and philosophy. The core of Yi Jing is Qi, the life force of the universe, and the principle of Yin and Yang. The system of Yi Jing contains 64 Hexagrams. Each hexagram is the image of six horizontal lines, which are either solid or broken. A solid line represents Yang, whereas a broken line is Yin. Each line can change into its opposite counterpart, resulting in the transformation of one hexagram into another. This transformation describes the constant flow of energy and continuous changes.
Yi Jing influenced the Western world as well. The German mathematician Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz wrote the first European commentary on Yi Jing in 1703. He implemented the wisdom of the Yi Jing into the binary system, which is of great importance until today. Many areas of our life work according to the binary system, like computer science and digital technology. Have you ever wondered why digital data storage always comes in multiples or fractions of 64?
The binary system consists of 0 and 1. 0 represents nothingness and is equal to the broken Yin line. 1means oneness and equals to the solid Yang line.
The Swiss psychologist Carl Jung used the philosophy of the Yi Jing to form the concept of synchronicity. This describes the connection between different circumstances or people without any causal connection.
Hermann Hesse used the Yi Jing as inspiration for his novel The Glass Bead Game.
​
Our world and our life are subject to continuous changes. Change is the only constant in life. The rule of cause and effect also shapes our life.

Yi Jing is a great tool to evaluate your potential actions through predictions of cause and effect and derive valuable guidance.
