🌟🐎 𝗛𝗢𝗪 𝗧𝗢 𝗪𝗘𝗟𝗖𝗢𝗠𝗘 𝗟Ì𝗖𝗛Ū𝗡 立春 — 𝗕𝗘𝗙𝗢𝗥𝗘 𝗧𝗛𝗘 𝗙𝗜𝗥𝗘 𝗛𝗢𝗥𝗦𝗘 𝗕𝗢𝗟𝗧𝗦 🐎🌟

After yesterday’s post, one of my students asked me: “Master Boon… what do you do to bring in Lìchūn?”

For me, Lìchūn is not a performance.
It is an internal practice.

I have a hermit nature. I need stillness.
I need to be away from disruptive energies—so I can hear what is subtle, and enter the new cycle cleanly.

So I welcomed Lìchūn the best way I know how:
in my paradise DiTianTai, the Harmonious Place where Heaven and Earth Unite, by 𝗯𝗲𝗴𝗶𝗻𝗻𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗶𝘁 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵 𝗺𝘆 𝗹𝗲𝗴𝗮𝗰𝘆.

𝗬𝗲𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗿𝗱𝗮𝘆, 𝗜 𝗵𝗲𝗹𝗱 𝗺𝘆 𝗳𝗶𝗿𝘀𝘁 𝗪𝗼𝗿𝗸𝘀𝗵𝗼𝗽 𝗼𝗳 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝘆𝗲𝗮𝗿 — 𝗠𝗮𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗿 𝗬𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗦𝗽𝗮𝗰𝗲, 𝗠𝗮𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗿 𝗬𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗟𝗶𝗳𝗲 — 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗬𝗲𝗮𝗿 𝗼𝗳 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗙𝗶𝗿𝗲 𝗛𝗼𝗿𝘀𝗲.
𝗔𝗻𝗱 𝟭𝟮 𝗱𝗲𝗹𝗶𝗴𝗵𝘁𝗳𝘂𝗹, 𝗹𝘂𝗺𝗶𝗻𝗼𝘂𝘀 𝘀𝗼𝘂𝗹𝘀 𝗷𝗼𝗶𝗻𝗲𝗱 𝗺𝗲 to welcome Lìchūn together—
not as “information”… but as alignment.

𝘼𝙣𝙙 𝙩𝙝𝙖𝙩, 𝙩𝙤 𝙢𝙚, 𝙞𝙨 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙩𝙧𝙪𝙚 𝙧𝙞𝙩𝙚:
𝙩𝙤 𝙤𝙥𝙚𝙣 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙮𝙚𝙖𝙧 𝙗𝙮 𝙧𝙚𝙨𝙩𝙤𝙧𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙘𝙡𝙖𝙧𝙞𝙩𝙮, 𝙧𝙚𝙘𝙖𝙡𝙞𝙗𝙧𝙖𝙩𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙛𝙞𝙚𝙡𝙙, 𝙖𝙣𝙙 𝙨𝙩𝙚𝙥𝙥𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙞𝙣𝙩𝙤 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙨𝙚𝙖𝙨𝙤𝙣 𝙬𝙞𝙩𝙝 𝙞𝙣𝙩𝙚𝙣𝙩𝙞𝙤𝙣.

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
🌱✨ 𝗟Ì𝗖𝗛Ū𝗡 立春 — 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗥𝗲𝗮𝗹 𝗕𝗲𝗴𝗶𝗻𝗻𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗼𝗳 𝗦𝗽𝗿𝗶𝗻𝗴✨🌱

(𝙉𝙤𝙩 𝙬𝙝𝙚𝙣 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙬𝙚𝙖𝙩𝙝𝙚𝙧 𝙬𝙖𝙧𝙢𝙨… 𝙗𝙪𝙩 𝙬𝙝𝙚𝙣 𝙃𝙚𝙖𝙫𝙚𝙣 𝙩𝙪𝙧𝙣𝙨 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙠𝙚𝙮.)

Most people enter a new season by hope.
In Dao Wisdom, we enter by alignment.

𝗟ì𝗰𝗵ū𝗻 is the first turning of the Twenty-Four Solar Terms — the ancient timing system that tracks the real seasonal shift.
It is a threshold: the world updates… whether you do or not.

Traditionally, Lìchūn is held on three fronts:
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
① 𝗥𝗜𝗧𝗘 (礼) — 𝗔𝗹𝗶𝗴𝗻 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵 𝗛𝗲𝗮𝘃𝗲𝗻

In classical culture, Lìchūn was marked with Welcoming Spring (迎春).

Not theatre. Not superstition.
Orientation.

Ritual is powerful because it creates a clean boundary:
✅ Before → After
✅ Old cycle → New cycle

Without that boundary, we intend change… but we keep living yesterday’s pattern.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
② 𝗙𝗢𝗟𝗞 𝗣𝗥𝗔𝗖𝗧𝗜𝗖𝗘 — 𝗟𝗲𝘁 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗯𝗼𝗱𝘆 𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗿 𝗦𝗽𝗿𝗶𝗻𝗴

The people honoured Lìchūn through “Biting Spring” (咬春) — fresh, crisp foods and spring greens.

This is embodied Dao:
You don’t enter renewal by thinking.
You enter by signal — to the body, the breath, the daily rhythm.

Your body is the first home of your spirit.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
③ 𝗧𝗜𝗠𝗜𝗡𝗚 𝗚𝗔𝗧𝗘 — 𝗔𝗹𝗶𝗴𝗻 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗲𝗻𝘃𝗶𝗿𝗼𝗻𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁

Here is what most modern minds miss:

When timing shifts, traction changes.

If you feel a headwind right now, it may not be because you lack discipline.
It may be because you’re applying effort into a field that isn’t supporting you.

That is why authentic Feng Shui is not decoration.
It is calibration — so your life force stops leaking into friction.

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
🌿 𝗔 𝘁𝗿𝘂𝗲 𝗟ì𝗰𝗵ū𝗻 𝗽𝗿𝗮𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗰𝗲 (𝘀𝗶𝗺𝗽𝗹𝗲, 𝗯𝘂𝘁 𝗿𝗲𝗮𝗹):

🕯️ 1) Light one candle / incense. Stand still. Name what begins now. (That is 礼.)
🥬 2) Eat something green and crisp. (That is 咬春.)
🏡 3) Remove one obstruction in your home today — one block, one broken thing, one stagnant pile. (That is alignment.)

Not fancy words.

𝗧𝗶𝗺𝗶𝗻𝗴. 𝗘𝗻𝗲𝗿𝗴𝗲𝘁𝗶𝗰 𝘀𝗵𝗶𝗳𝘁𝘀. 𝗖𝗼𝗻𝘀𝗲𝗾𝘂𝗲𝗻𝗰𝗲.

𝗧𝗛𝗘 𝗙𝗜𝗥𝗘 𝗛𝗢𝗥𝗦𝗘 𝗕𝗘𝗚𝗜𝗡𝗦 𝟰 𝗙𝗘𝗕𝗨𝗥𝗔𝗥𝗬 𝟮𝟬𝟮𝟰 — 𝗡𝗼𝘁 𝗢𝗻 𝗝𝗮𝗻 𝟭, 𝗡𝗼𝘁 𝗢𝗻 𝗟𝘂𝗻𝗮𝗿 𝗡𝗲𝘄 𝗬𝗲𝗮𝗿

Dear friends, an important turning point in time! Be prepared. allow me to show you how.

𝘼𝙩 𝙇ì𝙘𝙝ū𝙣, 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙮𝙚𝙖𝙧 𝙞𝙨 “𝙗𝙤𝙧𝙣” — 𝙖𝙣𝙙 2026 𝙬𝙞𝙡𝙡 𝙧𝙚𝙬𝙖𝙧𝙙 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙥𝙧𝙚𝙥𝙖𝙧𝙚𝙙 𝙖𝙣𝙙 𝙥𝙪𝙣𝙞𝙨𝙝 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙢𝙞𝙨𝙖𝙡𝙞𝙜𝙣𝙚𝙙.

Unlike what most people believe, the Year of the Horse does not begin on 1 January 2026.
Nor does it begin with the Lunar New Year on 17 February 2026.

In Traditional Chinese Dao Wisdom practices, the true beginning of the year is marked by Lìchūn (立春) — the Beginning of Spring — a pivotal solar term in the Chinese Solar Calendar, established and standardised in the Han dynasty more than two thousand years ago.

This year, Lìchūn arrives on 4 February 2026 at 04:02.

At that precise instant — when the Sun reaches 315° of ecliptic longitude — the Fire Horse is inaugurated.
This moment is its natal imprint: the energetic “birth” that determines the Horse’s character for the entire year.

This is not symbolism.
It is astronomy, timekeeping, and Daoist cosmology working as one.

𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗢𝘃𝗲𝗿𝗮𝗹𝗹 𝗘𝗻𝗲𝗿𝗴𝘆 𝗼𝗳 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝟮𝟬𝟮𝟲 𝗙𝗶𝗿𝗲 𝗛𝗼𝗿𝘀𝗲

This is a year that does not wait.

The Fire Horse charges forward with intensity and volatility.
Momentum builds quickly. Structures shift. Rules change mid-stride.

Speed, movement, restlessness, reinvention, and rising demands define the terrain.

Opportunities appear — and disappear — with startling speed.
Relationships intensify.
Wealth and career trajectories fluctuate sharply.

This is a year that rewards those who are swift, courageous, strategic, and aligned.

Those who can read conditions clearly and act decisively will ride the momentum.
Those who hesitate, resist, or move without preparation risk being overwhelmed.

On the global stage, the signs are clear:
Slower economic growth, rising costs and inflation, ongoing supply-chain disruptions, fiery geopolitics and profound influence from AI and automation reshaping how work and value are created.
This is not a year for the faint-hearted.

It calls for bold decisions, courageous action, and radical realignment — not through force, but through clarity.

And above all, it demands preparation!

𝙒𝙝𝙚𝙣 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙚𝙣𝙚𝙧𝙜𝙮 𝙤𝙛 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙮𝙚𝙖𝙧 𝙖𝙘𝙘𝙚𝙡𝙚𝙧𝙖𝙩𝙚𝙨, 𝙚𝙛𝙛𝙤𝙧𝙩 𝙖𝙡𝙤𝙣𝙚 — 𝙚𝙫𝙚𝙣 𝙢𝙞𝙣𝙙𝙨𝙚𝙩 — 𝙞𝙨 𝙣𝙤𝙩 𝙚𝙣𝙤𝙪𝙜𝙝.𝙔𝙤𝙪𝙧 𝙨𝙥𝙖𝙘𝙚 𝙢𝙪𝙨𝙩 𝙨𝙪𝙥𝙥𝙤𝙧𝙩 𝙮𝙤𝙪.

𝗜𝗳 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝘄𝗮𝗻𝘁 𝘁𝗼 𝗸𝗻𝗼𝘄 𝘄𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝘁𝗼 𝗱𝗼 (𝗻𝗼𝘁 𝗷𝘂𝘀𝘁 𝘄𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗶𝘁 “𝗺𝗲𝗮𝗻𝘀”)

If this post is stirring something in you — the sense that 2026 will reward the prepared and expose the misaligned — then I invite you to join me in my live 3-day workshop (free-by-donation to Save the Kiwi bird conservation):

𝗠𝗔𝗦𝗧𝗘𝗥 𝗬𝗢𝗨𝗥 𝗦𝗣𝗔𝗖𝗘, 𝗠𝗔𝗦𝗧𝗘𝗥 𝗬𝗢𝗨𝗥 𝗟𝗜𝗙𝗘

In this training, I will show you how to read the year properly, and how to position your space so you are supported — practically, strategically, and energetically — as the Fire Horse arrives.

Not pop Feng Shui.
Not trinkets.
Real methods, clearly taught, so you can move through 2026 with traction, not turbulence.

𝘾𝙤𝙢𝙢𝙚𝙣𝙩 “𝙃𝙊𝙍𝙎𝙀” 𝙖𝙣𝙙 𝙄’𝙡𝙡 𝙨𝙚𝙣𝙙 𝙮𝙤𝙪 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙙𝙚𝙩𝙖𝙞𝙡𝙨.
Or message me directly and I’ll guide you to the right place.

As we step across the threshold of Lìchūn, may you meet this Fire Horse with clear sight, steady nerve, and a space that truly has your back.

May your movements be timely,
your decisions rooted,
and your fire well-governed.

🌈🌟 Part 1: 𝗧𝗛𝗘 𝗗𝗔𝗢 𝗢𝗙 𝗥𝗜𝗚𝗛𝗧 𝗧𝗜𝗠𝗜𝗡𝗚: 𝗡𝗼 𝗳𝗼𝗿𝗰𝗶𝗻𝗴—𝗼𝗻𝗹𝘆 𝗹𝗶𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗻𝗶𝗻𝗴. 𝗪𝗶𝗻𝗱, 𝘄𝗮𝘁𝗲𝗿, 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗺𝗼𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝘁𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗼𝗽𝗲𝗻𝘀. 🌟🌈

I trust you have found your peace and your rejuvenation.

We’ve had a rare break in the weather. Only a week ago we were in cyclonic conditions—winds up to 90 knots and swells rising to 6 metres. And now, these past few days, the sea has been a mirror.

So, being very Dao… we did what the moment invited.

This is our Feng Shui lifestyle in motion: we follow the Dao of timing. No forcing—only listening: wind strength, wind direction, swell, and the opening of a weather window… and when Heaven and Earth align, we set sail… off to the Mokohinau Islands this time.

About 40 miles straight out East into the Pacific—far enough to feel the world fall away.

And here’s the humbling part: set your course due East from Mokohinau, and you cross around 5,020 nautical miles (≈ 9,300 km / 5,780 miles) of open ocean before you meet land again near Concepción, Chile. That’s the scale of the Pacific: a force to be respected.

We slipped past the Marotere in perfect wind, steady and gentle—averaging 8 knots—arriving late afternoon as the sun began to set. Crimson gathered in the clouds, almost like a foretelling of the Fire Horse to come. We have been seeing crimson skies lately.

We dropped anchor in what is, to my eye, the most beautiful anchorage in these waters. For the first couple of nights, we had it entirely to ourselves—the kind of quiet you don’t “get”… you’re simply granted. The images to explain why this place holds my heart.

🌈🌟 𝗔𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗖𝗲𝗹𝗲𝘀𝘁𝗶𝗮𝗹 𝗥𝗶𝘃𝗲𝗿 𝗧𝘂𝗿𝗻𝘀: 𝗔 𝗗𝗮𝗼𝗶𝘀𝘁 𝗜𝗻𝘃𝗶𝘁𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝘁𝗼 𝗥𝗲𝗻𝗲𝘄𝗮𝗹 🌟🌈

Beloved companions on the path,

As the wheel of heaven spins onward, mirroring the silent cycles of seasons and stars, the dawn of 2026 beckons not as a clamor for reinvention, but as the Dao's serene call to realign.

Feel the quiet wisdom woven into nature's rhythm—where time flows like a mountain stream, carving truth without haste.

May the burdens no longer yours drift away effortlessly, like autumn leaves borne on a pure breeze. May what destiny holds arrive in perfect harmony—unforced, unpursued, unfolding in whispers.

In the spirit of the Dao, this New Year is no ambition to grasp more, but a gentle return: to your center, to crystalline clarity, to the unyielding grace of true alignment.

May your dwelling embrace you—warm, harmonious, a wellspring of sustenance.

May your labors flow with precision and power, rooted in wholeness rather than rush. May your bonds offer sanctuary, free from strife. And may your essence stay pliant—bending like bamboo in the wind, yet ever sovereign.

Should tempests arise, sense their approach with foresight. Should gateways open, traverse them with poise. And in moments of quietude, honor the stillness as sacred advance.

I bestow upon you a year of pure Qi, lucid choices, and subtle delight—the joy that transforms without fanfare.

From my heart to yours, with abiding warmth, may you be shielded, led, and quietly flourished in all that endures.

As the year turns, may you feel the quiet intelligence of the cycle of nature and life.

May what is no longer true for you fall away without struggle—like old leaves in a clean wind.
May what is meant for you arrive with right timing—without forcing, without chasing, without noise.

In my Dao wisdom practice, a new year is not a wish to become more. It is an invitation to return:
to centre,
to clarity,
to the simple strength of alignment.

May your home hold you—warm, ordered, and nourishing.
May your work be precise and potent—born of integrity rather than urgency.
May your relationships be a refuge—not a battlefield.
And may your spirit remain supple—able to yield without losing its sovereign line.

If the year brings storms, may you read them early.
If it brings openings, may you step through them with dignity.
And if it brings stillness, may you trust that stillness is also progress.

I wish you a year of clean Qi, clear decisions, and quiet joy—
the kind that does not shout, but changes everything.

With warmth, and a personal blessing from my heart to yours,
may you be protected, guided, and gently prospered in all the ways that truly matter.

🌟 𝗔 𝗠𝗜𝗗𝗪𝗜𝗡𝗧𝗘𝗥 𝗦𝗢𝗟𝗦𝗧𝗜𝗖𝗘 冬至 𝗗ō𝗻𝗴𝘇𝗵ì 𝗧𝗔𝗟𝗘: 𝗪𝗵𝗲𝗻 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗦𝘂𝗻 𝗖𝗮𝘀𝘁𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗟𝗮𝘄𝘀 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗗𝗮𝗼 𝗼𝗳 𝗧𝗶𝗺𝗶𝗻𝗴 🌟

“At the winter solstice, the year reaches its turning point: Yin completes, and the Yang return begins.”

A calendar is cosmology made usable—Heaven’s patterns translated into human timing.

At Dengfeng, an ancient sun-shadow observatory was built to honour this truth. There, season-turning was made visible through light and shadow, so farming, ritual, governance, and daily life could align with what Heaven was actually doing—not what people hoped it was doing.

This is the spirit behind the 24 Solar Terms (二十四节气), recorded in the Chinese almanac 通书 / 黄历. They are not “festival dates.” They are the Sun’s turning points—measured, recorded, and handed down so ordinary life can align with extraordinary order.

The Sun’s yearly path is divided into 24 equal gates, each 15° apart. And Dōngzhì (冬至) is one of the great thresholds—when the Sun reaches 270° solar longitude. A precise celestial moment. Calculable. Unarguable. Heaven’s clock, stamped into time.

Tracing the first records back to 1500 BC in ancient China—born and refined through Northern seasonal life—Dōngzhì is the midwinter pivot: the shortest day, the longest night; Yin at its deepest, and therefore the first quiet birth of Yang - the law of constant cycles of the Yin and Yang.

And because this is a true gate in time, Chinese life grew customs around it that are not random—they are aligned:

❄️ Families gather, because reunion is the human response to a cosmic turning.
❄️ 汤圆 tāngyuán are eaten in many southern regions—roundness as living symbolism: wholeness, completion, together-again.
❄️ 饺子 jiǎozi are favoured in many northern regions—warmth, nourishment, protection.
❄️ And then comes 数九 shǔjiǔ — “Counting the Nines”: nine sets of nine days, tracking winter’s gradual release. Winter does not lift by drama; it lifts by increments.

This is how a civilisation teaches its people to live: by giving them a clock that makes them humble before nature—and wise within it.

And now, the question I am asked most often, living where I live:

“Master Boon… what do we do in the Southern Hemisphere?”

Here in Aotearoa, late December is not midwinter. It is bright summer. Yet the Heavenly clock—the Sun’s position—remains the same for the whole Earth. The moment still arrives; only the local seasonal costume changes.

Serious Dao-calendar practice separates two layers:

1) The calculation is sacred and fixed.
You do not rewrite the celestial grid because your weather is reversed. Heaven does not move for us.
2) The application must be skillfully localised.

The Solar Terms were tuned to Northern seasonal patterns, so we keep the timing exact—yet live the wisdom intelligently, according to our land, winds, crops, and body-season.

This is the line I give my Southern students:
Keep the Heavenly clock. Localise the Earthly application.
We honour the almanac’s precision—because it is cosmically correct.
And we honour our Southern environment—because Dao is never “one-size-fits-all.” Dao is right relationship.

So yes, I keep Dōngzhì—because it is a Chinese gate in time, and I am Chinese.
And I also let Aotearoa tell me the other half of the truth: the same Heaven-moment arrives here wearing sunlight—and that, too, is Dao.

❄️ May you meet this turning with steadiness.
❄️ May you be gathered—within yourself, and with those you love.
❄️ And may your timing become so clean that life begins to cooperate again.

Tell me—do you have a ritual your family has carried across oceans?

SAILING TO THE WILD SIDE…

Beyond the shelter of our estuary, the world opens into its untamed beauty.
Today, as Arielle glides toward the ocean entrance, Bauhu Dragon rises before us—majestic, ancient, unmistakably alive.

Kim steers us through the steady swell, and I lean out into the wind, letting the sea breeze wash through me. Early summer sunlight gilds the Dragon’s ridgeline, revealing the powerful contours that have guarded this coastline since time beyond memory.

Here, the wild side is not fierce—
it is welcoming.
It is the breath of the open sea,
the pulse of freedom,
the great exhale after weeks of movement and responsibility.

Bauhu stands sentinel at the ocean threshold, watching over all who enter and all who depart. From our deck, I feel his presence clearly—
a Dragon formed by the Earth itself,
holding strength without aggression,
offering protection without restraint.

Out here, between wind and water, I am reminded again why I teach Feng Shui as a living wisdom.
The land is always speaking.
And some days, like today,
it sings.

My life in 3 Acts

I hate housework but love a clean home!

For many years I reconciled this conflict by listening to talks on personal growth and consciousness on my phone, whilst charging round my home with a vacuum cleaner. It was on one of those days that a TED Talk given by Jane Fonda resonated so strongly that I immediately stopped and sat down to listen intently.

The main thrust of her talk was that the structure of society still assumed a short life expectancy after retirement even though our actual life expectancy may be closer to another 30 years. She called this period of our lives "Act 3", positioning it as the most rewarding, exciting and fulfilling phase of our lives if only we have the personal courage to grasp the nettle. I knew instantly that this was what I had been preparing myself for!

So, here is my life in 3 Acts - or more correctly - in 2 Acts plus the prologue to Act 3!

Act 1 – To forge an independent path and make a difference to people's lives

I grew up in a home steeped with the amazing wisdom traditions of China and the East. This was in large part due to my late father who is a world renowned Grandmaster in traditional Chinese Feng Shui and Martial Arts.

He initiated my training in Traditional Chinese Martial Arts when I was a four year old and in Traditional Chinese Feng Shui during my teens. He also nurtured my love of nature and the life sciences which eventually drew me into a scientific career.

On finishing my schooling, I left my birth country of Malaysia to further my studies in Australia where I had earned scholarships in postgraduate degrees in the Science and Strategic Management. I became an acknowledged R & D scientist in the blood plasma field, for an Australian company called CSL Limited.

We developed the purest and safest albumin in the world which was hugely exciting for a young scientist. My work led to CSL becoming a global leader in the field.

That was fine, but my real learning in Act 1 was different. I saw first hand how innovative and beneficial medical development could have a huge impact on people’s lives - globally.

I wanted to get out and do more, so packed up my test tubes and strode forth as a scientific business strategist. With my cultural background I could span East and West whilst my combination of scientific and business training helped me to relate to suppliers and customers alike.

My speciality was to bring beneficial leading edge biomedical technologies such as stem cell and spinal repair therapies to the Asia Pacific region. This meant that much of my life was sent on long haul flights so it is just as well that I do not suffer from jet lag.

Act 2 – Returning to my roots

Despite my business success, the relentless international travel soon lost its glamour and I found myself yearning to return to my roots and my heritage.

It was during one of those moments, while on business in Seoul, I called my father to ask him for formal guidance in Feng Shui and Martial Arts. My challenges were to increase exponentially since I started to live a parallel life. I was still running my international business consultancy, while studying under my father and teaching on his behalf as he began conducting courses worldwide.

Perhaps people were intrigued by the fusion of science, business and Feng Shui. Whatever the reason, people began to call on my Feng Shui consultancy. Over the years I consulted over 5 continents - the USA, the EU, Africa, Asia (SE Asia, China and India), Australia and New Zealand.

The demand for my Feng Shui consultancy soon started to displace my scientific career. I developed a longing to deepen my knowledge and to experience the source where these wisdoms began, spending some hermit years in China. When I came out of China I spent some wonderful time with my father. He encouraged me to teach and declared his unwavering support to be at my side wherever I taught.

Alas, that was not to be as he soon transitioned, but in his final moments he insisted on my promise to continue his legacy. This was both a great honour and a poisoned chalice. I was truly humbled by the honour he bestowed upon me and at the same time daunted by the obligation to continue his legacy.

I returned to Australia to conclude my biomedical consultancy and wind up my business partnership. During this time I met my husband Kim who has been an ardent supporter of my Act 3.

Act 3 – Fulfilling a dream and embarking on a legacy

For many years, my vision had been to build my ‘perfect Feng Shui home’ to live in during my retirement. Several years ago I found the perfect spot and bought land in Mount Martha on Victoria’s beautiful Mornington Peninsula.

Four years ago a chance happenstance brought my wonderful husband Kim into my life. Words like "retirement" were banished, the vision survived and the concept of Act 3 was embraced. I am now in a new country, with a new life and living the fulfilment of a dream. How did it come about?

It all traces back to our first holiday together, three years ago, in New Zealand. We were sailing along Kim’s beloved Northland coastline when I saw ‘the land where the Dragons play’. Unbeknown to me, Kim had been wondering how he could entice me to abandon my Australian dream of the Mornington Peninsula and relocate to New Zealand.

Upon learning the Feng Shui significance of the Northland coastline, Kim decided to strike whilst the iron was hot. No sooner had we moored our boat in Auckland than we headed north again to begin an intensive search for land.

Many, many properties later we found the perfect site, even if it was disguised as a densely covered bush block on the side of a mountain. And that is how Di Tian Tai came to be. It is the harmonious spot where Heaven and Earth meet, the place where I have put everything that my father has taught me in building our perfect Feng Shui home. Apart from the obvious benefit of living in such a prosperous place, I felt compelled to walk the talk as a Feng Shui master, and to be able to use Di Tian Tai as case study for my teachings.

The completion of Di Tian Tai is the fusion of my received wisdom and personal experience. Our home exceeds our wildest hopes and is a living testament to the benefits of Feng Shui. Most importantly, Kim is a westerner (grumpy Welshman) with no prior experience of Feng Shui. There was no way he would go through any form of ‘religious’ conversion on my account alone.

His approach was practical and pragmatic - "The worst case scenario from supporting this project is that I get to live in a beautiful home, in a beautiful place ,with the woman I love. Where is the downside in that?"

He now knows that Feng Shui is real and that it has fantastic benefits; but that is his story and not for now.

For me, the time has come to embrace and live the promise I made to my father to honour and carry forward his legacy. This is the natural order of things, so I have called my new company "Walk the Dao". I hope to meet you on the journey.
