Shengji is factually a Yin Zhai Feng Shui method that originated from Daoist practices, and it utilizes the body materials such as hair, nails and blood of the person, to simulate a “death burial”.
It employs the essential principles of land form to find a good Dragon and good Xue that had formed a certain ‘formation’, and theories and principles of LiQi Fengshui to get the correct setting for the Shengji.
In Daoism, it is believed that we have 三魂七魄 (San Hun Qi Po), loosely translated:
- 三魂is the “three immortal souls” that represents the spirit and intellect;
- 七魄 is “seven mortal forms” that represents carnal life and desires.
This三魂七魄 (San Hun Qi Po) must be taken care of properly and given the best living conditions for the betterment of the person. Thus in Feng Shui, we need to have at a minimum, good home environment for the person to live comfortably and happily so as to have the opportunity to be successful in life.
Sheng Ji is a method of Fengshui practice to link the Qi of heaven, earth and man, called Tian Di Ren San Cai 天地人三才,to create an effect for the benefit of the person doing the Sheng Ji.
