Dealing with jetlag

       Much can be said about jetlag. Jetlag occurs when we travel over a great distance at enormous speed. Here, no opportunity is left for our body to adapt.

       One particular explanation I picked up along the way is that, whenever I am jetlagged it means that my body has arrived but my soul did not. My soul is not catching up, so to speak, and so jetlag is a type of dissociation. One of the ‘cures’ to do on arrival is to position my solar plexus into the direction of origin and rub and massage my head and crown chakra while calling out my name aloud a few times. Be sure no-one is around when you do this.

Chinese zodiac directionology

      You may want to combine Nine Star Ki directionology with techniques used in Chinese astrology.

Twelve Earthly Branches

      Here are the Twelve Earthly Branches, commonly known as the 12 animal signs of the Chinese zodiac. Each Earthly Branch is assigned 30 degrees over the chinese compass or Luo Pan. A person born in the year of the Rat will have most affinity with Qi from the North. Qi from the South may not be looked upon as hostile to Rat, but it is the least auspicious Qi. The South has a different ‘agenda’ than the North. Rat has most affinity with Dragon and Monkey. You may wish to extend this example to your own year Branch and count away four signs from your own sign to find your affinity signs and six Branches away from your own sigh to find the energy frequency that is least auspicious to you.

      Here I projected the octagon sometimes used in Japanese Nine Star Ki within the Chinese compass, or Luo Pan. The Chinese Ba gua – or octagon – shows eight directions of 45 degrees each, whereas the Japanese version may show 30 degrees in the cardinal direction to include one Chinese zodiac sign and 60 degrees in the secondary directions to include two Chinese zodiac signs. There is no difference however in the actual degrees the signs cover over the compass, as both the Chinese and Japanese versions use 30 degrees for each Chinese zodiac sign.

Cosmograph and Jupiter

      The earth’s rotation causes for 12 distinguishable energies to surface from different directions. To link these energies to certain planets the ancient Chinese first designed the cosmograph. The cosmograph dates from the Former Han dynasty, and can be considered the grandfather of the later Chinese compass or Luo Pan.

      It shows the coupled rotatable Heaven plate and the fixed Earth plate we still find on the Luo Pan and it was a rather more astrological than astronomical device for observing the skies and in particular the journey of Jupiter. It also followed the great Dipper through the 28 Lunar lodges, but its main purpose was maybe to chart the motion of Jupiter.

      Several techniques for positioning and directionology were adopted by the San Yuan Feng Shui school from the San He Feng Shui system during late Ming Dynasty. One is Tai Sui or Grand Duke of Jupiter.

      Jupiter is the Wood Star or sometimes called Sui Xing. It travels anti-clockwise along the Luo Pan, and progresses from Rat, Pig, Dog, Rooster etc. or North, Northwest, West respectively. This route of Jupiter cannot be observed from the earth, so a contra-Jupiter by name of Tai Sui was invented to determine Jupiter’s position.

      Tai Sui travels in a clockwise direction along the Luo Pan and this path was followed on the cosmograph. It progresses from Rat, Ox, Tiger, Rabbit etc. or North, Northeast, East respectively.

      Tai Sui occupies the exact Branch of the year, its harmful influence covering the entire 30° of a Branch. Therefore, Tai Sui occupies the East in 1999, the year of the Rabbit. It will occupy the South in 2002, in the year of the Horse.

      Tai Sui is an unfavourable direction to sit in of travel into, however it is less detrimental to sit with your back towards Tai Sui than it is to face Tai Sui. In itself, Tai Sui is not powerful to be harmful. It needs some action to be annoyed. So, it is advised not to ‘break the ground’ or have renovations done into the Tai Sui direction.

Miscellaneous

      Directionology is not at all limited to actual travelling, or you facing or not facing a certain direction while awake or asleep. Directionology is the understanding that we are moving Qi the moment we seperate two phenomena that had been closely linked together and that we are moving Qi when one phenomenon is introduced to join another phenomenon. The moment we change Qi by our action, we are executing directionology, like when we move residence, take a trip, build a wall. Constructing a wall means you are playing with and changing Qi flow.

      Directionology is planning of Time, Space and Action or: “Doing the right thing at the right Time and Place”. Doing the right thing at the right time and place and in the right spirit, is the ultimate performance of directionology.

- Directionology is also noticing why a particular person (Nine
   Star Ki Number) called you on that particular day.
- Directionology tells you whom to contact or whom to avoid
   contact with for certain directions or times.
- Directionology is knowing how to build a team around your
   choice of people.
- Directionology is knowing how to plan time, space and
   action to reach a desired future goal.
- In Feng Shui, directionology furthermore means, the
   direction your house is facing, location and direction of
   your main entryway and interior doors, like that of master
   bedroom.
- Also in Feng Shui, directionology means location, direction
   and time of placement of any items.
- Directionology is knowing how to activate or re-activate,
   direct or re-direct Qi in built structures according to the
   basic rules of Qi flow: strengthening cycle, controlling
   cycle etc., and how to make the best use of this in diet,
   acupunture and other systems for physical and emotional
   health.
- If you choose not to travel in the opposite direction of 5,
   but you call someone who’s Number is opposite the 5 in the
   Luo Shu, you may be considered to be travelling opposite
   the 5 and it may be difficult to deal with this person.

      Ultimate directionology comes from our memory. Memory does not just mean you remember anything from the past, because time is not linear. Cosmic memory means, you remember your future. Where did I come from and where am I going. Finding, planning and executing your – and perhaps other’s - Ultimate Life Dream is the main issue in any type of directionology.

      Directionology is based on a firm understanding of ‘who I am’, ‘who you are’ and ‘where we are’. I have a territory that I can call mine. No-one is allowed into my territory without my consent and no-one is allowed to desintegrate my physical, emotional or spiritual integrity. Likewise, I will not desintegrate your integrity, nor will I desintegrate the Earth’s integrity. This way, Qi between people is emitted freely.

      The Aboriginals have a saying: ‘The Earth does not belong to us, we belong to the Earth’. Supreme directionology is the understanding that the planet is our mother, the sun our father. Whatever the planet brings forth, is the Earth’s fruit, including peoples and their resources. We cannot continue to rape our mother, her children, her resources.
