Making of Spiritual Whip - Huat Soh (道教法索製作)

People had been requesting me to do a write up on Huat Soh aka Taoist Spiritual Whip, due to I was busy with other tasks, for the moment, I can only share a little bit on it.

In here, you all will be seeing the Original type of Material that is being used to make Huat Soh, this Material will actually a type of Plant, known as Ning Ma (苧麻) aka Boehmeria Nivea and other than Ning Ma, no other Materials are considered the BEST material for the making of Huat Soh.

In Spiritual Context, Ning Ma is a type of Plant that will emit our Heat & Positive Energy aka Yang Qi, after it's being enhanced.

Due to commercialize & lack of knowledge, a lot of people had stop using Ning Ma rather using the normal Ma (麻) that used for making the Mourning Clothing (孝服) to make Huat Soh, which is not accurate.

PS: stay-tune for more info on Huat Soh

Since the last posting on the Introduction & Sharing on Taoist Incantation, Jave have stopped doing posting on it due to Jave was away and got some feedbacks on whether are normal People suitable to do learning on such Incantations?

In here, Jave will like to clarify this enquiry. Yes, you are eligible to learn, practise and used ALL the Mantras/Incantations that you see, found and come-across in this Website, cos ALL these Incantations are mend for ALL Un-official Taoists (regardless of Races) to learn, understand and use it in normal daily life.

And one thing for sure, ALL these Incantations that you all can see in Jave’s website are authorised to be posted by China & Taiwan Elders.

Ok, back to the topic on the Introduction on Qi Xing Dou Zhou (七星斗咒).

In Taoism, most of you have already understood, actually Taoists started to honour the Great Dipper Stars (北斗祭祀) far before Taoist Schools were found. When Heavenly Master Zhang Dao Ling (張祖天師) reform Taoism in Han Dynasty (漢朝以來), he continued to promote the Culture of Honouring the Great Dipper and last, gathering ALL the necessary Scriptures, Contexts and Incantation to widen the spectrum on the Study/Culture of the Great Dipper.

From then till now, over 2000 Years, Taoism is still surround by the Honouring of the Great Dipper and for sure, Taoism wont be Taoism if the Honouring of Great Dipper is not being practised anymore.

In the following, is another Incantation that is associated with the Great Dipper and this Mantra/Incantation is encouraged to be recited Daily in front of the Altar or at the Main Urn at the House facing the Heaven (or North 向北).

According to Ancient Records on this Incantation, it tells us that by consistent reciting (誠心持誦), it helps to Cease the Misfortune & Obstacles (消災解厄), allowing Oneself to get strengthening in the Cultivation (開啟元陽) and the Balancing of the Inner Energies (調節陰陽), fasten the process of the Positive Requests that Oneself had made to the Spiritual Realms (飛捷回報), increasing of Good-relationships (緣份增強), having Parent’s Life be prolonged (高堂延壽) and last, requesting for a Peacefulness for the Country (國泰民安), etc.

Introduction on Center-point-of-Eyebrow ~ Yin Tang (印堂簡介)

 
Yin Tang (印堂), located at the Point in-between the Eyebrows (雙眉之間). In the Past, many Chinese tend to mistaken Yin Tang refers to Forehead (印堂生與額頭), this is Inaccurate.

Yin Tang, a Point on the Face, that Taoists & Chinese can use to predict the Luck & Fortune of oneself in Short Term or Life-time.

How to predict a Life-time Luck & Fortune by looking at the Yin Tang?

Usually we will gauge the Luck & Fortune by the distance or space-gap of the Yin Tang.

People who are born with the Blessing of Good Luck & Fortune, usually their Yin Tang will be about 1 or 2 fingers spacing wide (of about 1.5-3.5cm). Such People will usually gain Good support from the People around them. Besides that, such People will tend to have more Good Relationship with Friends & Family Members.

For Wealth & Working Luck, such People will tend to have more Chances and also, easy to get Promotion in their Jobs.

For People with lesser than 1.5cm, usually such People will tend to be more Hot-temper & Impatient. Besides that, such People will tend to find Faults on Others. If your Boss is such a Person, then do remember not to Provoke him, try to follow his Orders unless your Boss is making for Non-realistic requestings.

For Wealth & Working Luck, such People will tend to miss Chances for getting Wealth and also, easily get boycott by the Working-mates in one's Working Environment.

For People with Yin Tang of more than 3.6cm & above, such People will tend to be more Un-decisive. Such People cant really make decision and most of the Time, they will tend to make mistakes that affect the People around them. For those who have Friends in this Group, please do try to be more Considerate and Patient, cos if not, you will sure to blow your top on them.

For Wealth & Working Luck, such People will tend to gain No Chances and also, have to try very Hard to get Promotion in their Jobs. Unless, Gui Ren (貴人) are around them to give their a Push in their Luck.

How to predict a Short-term Luck & Fortune by looking at the Yin Tang?

For this Skill or Prediction by looking at the Yin Tang, usually Taoist Priests & Spiritual Masters will learn or get imparted by the Older Generation.

This Skill is by looking at the Color-change aka Aura that appeared infront of the Yin Tang to determine the Near-future Luck of Oneself.

So what are the Colors aka Aura involved for the Prediction?

Here are the few Colors that the Taoist Priests or Spiritual Masters will see:

1) Red or Orangy-yellow: these Colors is mend for those who have Extreme Good Luck.

2) Pink or Light Purple: these Colors are to determine Good Couple Relationship is awaiting for that Person or Marriage is around the Corner

3) Dark Red: this Color is to represent Conflict & Arguements. Once a Person is determine with this Color, usually the Person will be advise to talk less or stay at home for 7-14 Days until the Color disappear.

4) Green or Dark Green: these Colors are to determine Worries & Un-easy. Once these Colors appeared, oneself will be affected with Surrounding Issues that will add Pressure or Stress to oneself.

5) Black or Dark Blue: these 2 Colors appear to determine Fatal Issues or Disasters. Once such Colors appeared, oneself & the Family Members will have to avoid certain activities. In the Past, when someone is being seen with these Colors, they will be advised to stay at home at least for 49 Days and during these 49 Days, Rituals or Blessing Ceremonies must be conducted in-order to get rid of the Negative Energies & Entities.

In Summary

For oneself to gain Good Blessing for Lucks, oneself just needed to remind oneself, try to be Upright & Sincere during All Times. Whenever is Possible, just do a Little Charity or Extend one's Helpful-hand to the Needy. Once All these are being done, Big Dao & Heaven will be there to provide the Necessary Blessing.

With such Blessings, the Colors aka Aura that appear at the Yin Tang will be changed and in some cases, the Width-gap will to Manifest into the Perfect Distance.

Remember this Phrase: Xiang You Xin Sheng (相由心生).

This is an Ancient Phrase to encourage People on doing Good Deeds & Helping the Needys. By doing so, All Bad Stuffs will be Eliminated & oneself will be Rewarded with Good In-returns, including Looks, Health & Good Lucks.

The Taoist 10 Not-to-Do-issues 道教十忌

Rating:	★★★
Category:	Other

In Taoism, as a Taoist or a Trained-Taoist-Spiritual-Person, there are a certain loads of Cultivation Skills that oneself needed to follow, understand and practice.

In here, I will do a quick introduction on the 10 Daily Not-to-Do-issues that we needed to follow.

1) Not to Kowtow straight after getting out of Bed (忌早起磕頭)

For us as the Official Taoists, we tend to do Chanting and Kowtow in the Morning during the Morning Ritual/Ceremony (道教早課), but many of us tend to forget that oneself shall not do this action immediately after waking-up.

Reason: Straight after waking-up, the Blood-pressure in our Physical Body might not have yet return to it's normal rate. If oneself will to do some tedious action, such as Kowtow, etc, oneself might hurt one's Blood-pressure and will end-up getting dizzy or end-up vomitting.

2) Not to Fan oneself while oneself is Sweating heavily (忌出汗扇風)

Do not Fan oneself or go under a Strong Fan while Sweating heavily.

Reason: While oneself is sweating, the Heat in our Physical Body will be released. If oneself will tend to obstruct the releasing of the Heat and end-up the Heat being trapped inside our Physical Body, our Internal Organs will be affected and in some Physician Terms, this will be addressed as Heat Demon attacking the Internal Organs (熱魔侵體).

3) Not to enter a Cold Room while onself is Sweating heavily (忌陰室貪涼)

This point does have the same reason as Point 2.

4) Not to Direct the shining of Lamps, Candles or Light while oneself is Sleeping (忌燈燭照睡)

Due to alot of Personally reason, alot of the people tend to keep the Light-on while Sleeping and some, will tend to shine the Light onto oneself, this type of practice is not Good.

Reason: While oneself is Sleeping (heavy rate of Resting), oneself's Physical Body will tend to release All the Stress that oneself had gained in the Day. If the Light (especially Strong Shining) will tend to disturb the Sleeping of oneself and end-up adding certain form of Stresses onto the Physical Body.

For Strong Shining issue, the Heat of the Surrounding will increase and oneself will tend to have more Bad-dreams while sleeping and end-up Restless in the Morning or during Work.

5) Not to Sit on Wet Ground for Long (忌濕地久坐)

Alot of People tend to light to sit on Wet Ground, which this is really a Bad issue.

Reason: Once the Water touches the Ground (while the Ground is still heat-up), the Water will turn into Vapour and entered into one's Physical Body. If oneself is normally Weak or suffering from Sicknesses, the Physical Body might not be able to detect/block the Virus that stayed in such Vapour and so, the Virus might followed stuck onto the Physical Body or entered into one's Body which caused more Sicknesses.

6) Not to have Intimate Action in the Mid-night (忌子時房事)

Mid-night in Chinese Lunar Hour is 11.00Pm to 1.00Am (in Singapore refering to 00.00 - 2.00Am).

During this Hours, one's Physical Body is entering into a Heavy Resting state. If oneself will to engage into a Serious & Heavy Intimate Action, oneself will tend to hurt the Internal Organs and so, in-order not to have oneself hurt because of the lust, oneself shall need to know of how to control the emotion.

So when is the Best timing for a Intimate Action for Normal Being? According to Custom-records, best timing will be from 5.00Am to 7.00Am.

7) Not to wear Soak Clothing (忌冷著汗衣)

Soak Clothing as in Wet, Sweaty Clothing.

Reason: Heat of one's Physical Body will be trapped and Soak Clothing tend to have more Virus sticking to it. Long Period of wearing will end-up one's Physical Body being affected by the External Negative Elements.

8) Not to use Cold Water to Cool-down Warm Bed or Used Fire to Heat-up Cold Clothing(忌夏月涼水抹簟、冬月熱火烘衣)

These are 2 methods used in the Ancient Era, which now, no longer in used. So in here, I wont be doing an introduction on this.

9) Not to Wear Clothing that just being Dried under the Sun (忌熱著曬衣)

People tend to wear Clothing that just being retrieved back from the Drying under the Sun, which this is Not a good practice.

Reason: While the Clothing is being retrieved back, the Heat is still being accumulated on the Clothing and if oneself will to wear the Clothing immediately, the Heat will be transmitted onto one's Physical Body and end-up "Heat Demon attacking".

10) Not to Sit-down to watch a Show for too-long (忌久觀場演劇)

This is a Common-sense Practice.

Reason: Oneself shall not be too engross into watching a Show and neglect the movement of our Physical Body. Some people tend to sit at the same posture for quite sometime while watching Shows, this is a Very Dangerous issue to be engaged in. As time goes by, the Joints, Muscles, Arms and Legs will be affected and end-up Pains-appearing.

Taoist Talisman of Dragon Scripture (道教符文之雲龍文字符)

This is a very special Taoist Talisman that cannot be seen that often.

Till today, not much Taoist Priests had used this Talisman.

In the past, a small Group of Lv Shan Sect Taoist Priests or Spiritual Masters will enhanced this Talisman in-order to send the requested Messages to the Heavenly Realm or Deities.

In some Areas or some Schools, this Talisman was being enhanced in-order to cure diseases & illnesses and also to cease disasters.

Talisman of Star Lord Kui Xing (魁星點穎開智符)

In the following are a few pictures of Talisman of Lord Kui Xing aka Kui Xing Di Jun (魁星帝君).

In Taoism or Chinese Culture, such Talismans are being issued to enhance one's Wisdom & Intelligent.

Due to no Priests or Taoist Groups doing issuing nowadays, not much such Talismans can be seen.

Talisman of The Great Dipper of the North 2 (北斗消災驅邪護身符)

In the following is a Taoist Talisman of Bei Dou Xing Jun used for Eliminating the Negative Entities that stayed around oneself, reducing of the Debts & Sins of oneself and last, to protect oneselfs Souls & Spirits.

On the Top of the Talisman, you will see the Secret Spiritual Code of one very important Taoist Deities - which is Xuan Tian Shang Di (玄天上帝).

And so, in this Talisman, you are able to get the necessary enhancing from 2 groups of Deities from the Northern Hemisphere.

Talisman of The Great Dipper of the North (北斗安魂魄壓驚符)

This is a Rare Taoist Talisman that being use locally.

This Talisman is drawn while being called upon the Enhancement from the Great Dipper of North. Once the Enhancement is done (with Reciting & Chanting of the Mantras & Scriptures), this Talisman is able to use to calm those who suffered from frightening or Mental-unstable.

A very useful and effective Taoist Talisman.

Due to many Un-trained People trying to use this Talisman to con on the others, so for those who wished to gain one of such Talismans, must be careful and aware.

PS: This Talisman shown here is not yet the complete one, so do not use it un-necessarily.

Introduction on the Using of Gui Ren Paper (百解貴人紙使用簡介)

 

 

 

 

A lot of the Taoists and Chinese might have used Gui Ren Zhi before, but from survey, not much people really know how to use these Papers correctly or properly.

Are they to blame? Of cos not, cos most of them are not taught to use the Paper correctly and secondly, people are confused by the Great amount of different types of Papers in the Market.

And so upon request, in here, I will do a quick and brief intro on the using of Gui Ren Paper.

Usually people always have the idea of – the more they burn such Gui Ren Paper, the more Blessings they will get from the Gui Ren or the Deities of Prosperities & Fortune.

If oneself will to have such thinking, then I must said that you are Greedily making Requesting and NOT Sincerely paying your Respect to the Heaven or Deities and so such people wont be able to get the necessary Spiritual assistances.

Gui Ren Paper, only burn One Set each time (for each individual) and after making the necessary Respect to the Heaven & Deities, oneself shall bring the Red-colored Gui Ren Paper (usually the 1st piece) to the Main Urn and make 3 rounds above the Incenses Fume to gather the Positive Energies and Blessing from the Deities and then, keep it in a Red-packet and bring it everywhere oneself goes. This is the Actual meaning of Jie Ying Gui Ren Fu (接引貴人符) aka Talisman of Ushering-in the Deities of Prosperities & Fortunes.

And then, fill in the necessary personal data onto the other Yellow Gui Ren Paper before burning off (some will do it at Home before visiting any Temples or 1st & 15th Day, different countries will have different number of pages, so do not worry about that).

Here it goes with the steps of the Filling in of the Data:

This is the “Jin Pai (金牌)” aka Golden Medal that being issued by the Heavenly Realm for one self to call upon the Blessing from the Various Departments, such as Eliminating of Sins & Debts, Calling for Fortune, etc.

Normally we don’t write anything on it.



The following are the 2 Spiritual Petitions (in Singapore Version) that needed to be filled up with the Personal Data.

For the 1st Piece,



On Circle Number 1, the Resident Address & Name of oneself must be fill-in.

Eg:
中華南方海外省。南洋新加坡共和國。
社恩信士。(自己名字)。

On Circle Number 2, the Date of the Day when oneself make the Offering,

Eg:
戊子年。X月。X日。赦行

For the 2nd Piece,



On Circle Number 1, the Resident Address & Name of oneself must be fill-in.

Eg:
信士。(自己名字)。自命。(自己的農曆生日)XX年。XX月。XX日。XX時。

On Circle Number 2, the Date of the Day when oneself make the Offering,

Eg:
戊子年。X月。X日。恩弟子叩

Once all the Data are being fill-up correctly, the Paper is ready for burning.

Introduction on Wu Lei Shen Zhou aka Wu Lei Spiritual Mantra (五雷神咒)

Wu Lei Shen Zhou, translated as the Mantra of the Five Thunder. In Taoism Context, it is also known as Lei Zu Shen Zhou (雷祖神咒), meaning that this Spiritual Mantra is actually a Mantra that is closely associate with Heavenly Lord Pu Hua (雷聲普化天尊).

In Spiritually-wise, this is a Mantra to call-upon the Positive Energy of Heavenly Lord Pu Hua in-order for him to emit out the Energy to be bestowed onto any Beings while the Beings are in Trouble or facing any form of Life-threatening issues.

Alot of the Folks thought that this is a Mantra to call upon the Various Thunder Deities or Generals, I cant said that this is wrong but just not that accurate. Once Heavenly Lord Pu Hua is being evoked, he will somehow sent his subodinates or assistants to look into the issues and not necessary to be the Five Types of Thunder Deities that the Folks used to know of.

So when can one self use this Mantra?

When one self faces some Strange & Negative Encounters or when one self is not feeling well after visiting places that are related to Negative Entities, such as Funeral, Cemetaries or any Nether World Deities' Temples, etc.

How to go about with the Reciting?

When one self needed to do the reciting, one self just needed to do it according to the following:

1 Wash one self up and drink a cup of Luke-warm Water

2 Light 3 Incenses

3 Walk to any Open-space that you can see the Heaven, at home will be facing the Window

4 Simply make a Sincere & Respectful Bow to the Heaven

5 Make a simple Report to the Heaven by saying your name, your address and the problem that you want to solve

6 Start reciting the Mantra

7 After finishing, simply make a Bow and leaven the Spot

Here goes the Mantra:

無上玉清王。統天三十六。

Wu Shang Yu Qing Wang. Tong Tian San Shi Liu

九天普化中。化形十方界。

Jiu Tian Pu Hua Zhong. Hua Xing Shi Fang Jie

披髮騎麒麟。赤腳躡層冰。

Cleansing of one's home with Chinese Medical Herbs (正氣長存于宅中)

Rating:	★★★
Category:	Other

Alot of the people had been approaching me for one same enquiry, How to do a proper, effective and easy Cleansing for one's home (may it be a totally new one, etc).

And of cos, my task to share with them and in here, all of you.

To get the best and the most appropriate way of doing cleansing (this is the way that being practice by the Official Priests and Chinese Physicians for Centuries), one self can prepare the following stuff:

1 get a New Urn (not necessary to be very big, maybe a diameter of 8 Inches)

2 go to a Chinese Medical Hall to get the following Chinese Herbs:

2a) 藿香 (Huo Xiang, English term: Agastachis Herba)

2b) 甘草（Gan Cao, English term: Liquorice)

 
3 go to Joss-shop to get some Incense-powder (used during Ritual/Ceremony)

After getting all the stuffs, choose a Good Morning (without Raining, Storm or No-sunshine Day), best that everyone is at home.

Bring out the Urn, wash it with Water, dry it and them, pour some of the Incense-powder into the Urn to make a layer of Base.

Then, spread out the Huo Xiang and Gan Cao over the Powder-base, after spreading the Herbs out, pour another layer of Powder onto the Herbs, repeat the procedure for at least 3 times (meaning 3 Layers) and then, light a stick of incense and throw it into the Urn (allow the Incense to slowly lit the Powder up).

Once the fume of the Burning started to get thicker, walk around the whole Premises, allow the Fume (smoke) to reach every corner of the Premises.

After the whole Premises is being Cleansed, place the Urn in the Center of the whole Premises, in-order to allow the Fume to continue doing the necessary Cleansing. During this period, everyone in the Premises can take turn to start in front of the Urn to allow the Fume to flow thru the Whole Physical Body, by doing so, it will attain a form of Physical, Mind & Soul Cleansing.

Once the whole Cleansing Process is done, make sure the Burning stopped in the Urn and then keep the Urn in a safe and dry place. Do not throw the Urn away, cos the Urn may be used for next Cleansing Process.

Okay, till here, some of you might have some enquiries on whether will the Fume do harm to one self, my reply is an absolute NO. According to Chinese Medical Theory, Huo Xiang is a Chinese Herb that used to do Killing of Germs in the Ancient Era whenever there is a Virsus-attack disaster and according to the Modern Scienticfic Examination, Huo Xiang is able to kill at least 80% of the Normal Virsus that can be found in our Surrounding. And for Gan Cao, it is a form of Chinese Herb that act as Catalyst in many Mixture Processing and so, by adding these 2 Chinese Herbs together for the Cleansing Process, it will somehow reached a Higher Percentage of Cleansing Objective.

In Spiritual Theory, Huo Xiang is treated as a form of Spiritual Weapon that give out Brightness and Strength to overcome any form of Negative Entities or Energies, by calling upon the Energy that being given out by Gan Cao (in Chinese Term known as Deity of Medicine), the surrounding stubborn Energies will be ward-off and so, a Spiritual Cleansing will take effect in a very short moment.

And so, when can such Cleansing be done?

For those who are okay with the Fuming, such Cleansing can be done in Weekly basis, if not, Monthly basis.

Best timing to do such Cleansing will be,

1 when there is sick member who stay at home
2 49/100 Days after Funeral (when the Tablet being transfered onto the Main Altar)
3 before moving into a New House
4 after Major Renovation
5 Moving into a New Temple

This is a Rare Scene to appear in Singapore, after some many decades, this Scene appear again (according to record, it happened in abt 50++ years ago, str8 after WW2).

According to Old Records, when such a Scene appear, meaning that certain Spiritual Beings are moving around in the Area from 1 Point to another. From the observation, this Scene happened shall be associated with the Souls that being summoned by the Nether World Guardians to report back to a certain point from a location in Mandai Area.

From the records that I have, if this Scene is associated with the movement of Nether World Beings, that it will last at least for 3 Days and timing will starts from 10pm to 3am every night.

If you are one who dare to witness and wish to find out more on such Special Encounter, try your Luck by going to BKE, hope you can see something and sense something, but 1 thing to remind, if your Luck is extremely Down, certain issue , might happened to you. Do take care.

Recent years, the engagement on the Eight Spiritual Generals (Folks known as Ba Jia Jiang 八家將) have been growing and now almost All Religious Celebration, such Performance Troupes can be seen performing the Cleansing of the Environment for the Temples or individual Religious Group.

So when does this type of Generals started?

If we will to look into the Knowledge that being passed down by our Taoist Ancestors, such Invitation of Eight Spiritual Generals shall start in very Early or Late Song Dynasty, by the time it reached Ming Dynasty, such Belief had grow quite a lot and in almost All Rituals/Ceremonies that involved in Warding-off of Diseases, Illnesses or Disasters, Invitation of the Eight Spiritual Generals will be invited.

Due to certain issues that happened in Qing Dynasty, a lot of our Taoist Practices will being destroy (due to the Believing of Tibetian Buddhism during the Mid-period of Qing) and so, the actual set of Inviting of the Eight Spiritual Generals is gone.

Now the Performance that one self can see is originated from Taiwan in Late Qing Dynasty (which is about 100+ years old) and the Oldest set (more than 200 years) that left in this Taoist Society is in one of the Taoist Association in Singapore.

So who are the Eight Spiritual Generals?

According to the Incantation that being used to invite this group of Generals, we can see that, these Eight Spiritual Generals shall be from the Earthly & Mortal Realm which are put in-charge of:

1 Spirits & Souls of Mortals

2 Spirits & Souls of Animals, Insects, Mammals, Plants, Diseases, etc

3 Stubborn Entities, etc

So why is there a Need in Inviting the Eight Spiritual Generals?

To get the Enhancing Negative Energies that being emitted by them to assist in getting rid or Warding-off of any Stubborn Entities & Negative Energies that stuck to one area.

So by reciting the Mantra, the Eight Spiritual Generals will possessed on one self?

This is one Big Mistake that many Folks tend to made.

The Main Objective of reciting the Incantation is to Invite the Negative Energies from the Eight Spiritual Generals and/or to Inform the Generals to release the Necessary Amount of Energies in enhancing the Cleansing Task.

Nowadays, what we see are still the same, just that some Folks tend to make it look very "Spiritual" by telling the others that the People performing the Cleansing are in Trance, whichis totally Ridiculous and Ignorant.

In the following, I will introduce the Incantation for the Invitation. Just to take note that, Not All are fated to have a Positive Result after reciting this Incantation, beore reciting of this Incantation, one self must go thru the necessary training and getting protection before one self can succeed. Even a lot of Groups that practice the Engaging of the Eight Spiritual Generals are not able to achieve the Full Positive effect from this Incantation.

For some people, due to their internal Fear and Surrounding pressure, such people do not want to seek Official Training under any Official Taoist Schools and so, in the Ancient Era, several Masters had notice that and they had created quite a number of Spiritual Skills for such people.

In here, I will do a few introductions on the various Skills that one self can used while one self encountered any of such issues.

Do be aware that, not All such laymen are able to perform the Skills 100 accurate or effective, this has to depend on the Credits & Merits that one self accumulated in their Previous Life, Present Life, etc.

Okay, here go the Skills:

1 – When one self found out that the House that one self staying is not that Clean, one self can use the follow method to get rid of the excess Negative Energies

Prepare a Glass Bowl to contain the Yin Yang Water (Cold & Hot mixture).

After the Water is being prepared, relax & calm one self down and then, using the Sword Formation to draw these 2 Chinese Characters onto the Water: 龙涎

Upon completion, sprinkle the Water around the House. Usually after sprinkling the Water, a different aroma will appear in the Four Corners and if one self encounter that, meaning that the House has been cleansed.

Besides doing cleansing for the House, one self can use the Water to do cleansing on wounds or scars, the Water will help to do Virus clearing and Scars recovering.

2 – For someone who are infected with Skin-diseases or Virus-invading on the Skins, can prepare the Yin Yang water and then, write the following 4 Chinese Characters on the Water: 九龙(龍)吐水

After using the Water to wash on the infected area, immediately approached any doctors for Official Medication.

The washing is to assist the diseases from worsen during the period of approaching any Doctors.
