Hello everyone! I know, I know...the title sounds utterly boring and long. :) However, I was compelled to write this after meeting a friend whom I did a BaZi life chart consultation a few months back. Back then, one of the key areas I brought up for her was that she would be entering a period of change soon which would be beneficial for her and require some form of travel. She was doubtful at first, given she had not thought to change her career path. Recently, she invited me out for lunch to share with me that yes, she had just recently taken on an interesting career opportunity which would require her to travel almost every quarter and its aligned to her career path. I'm very happy for her, as I can see more conviction and confidence in her voice on where she wants to progress in her career, compared to before. I'm also humbled she is one of a few, not many, but a number of folks who had personal breakthrough stories of how the BaZi life chart or tarot reading had came true for them and 'open' their eyes to possibilities they were never aware of. I am humbled because I'm a mere messenger of this great teachings, regardless of its origins or the skepticism that naturally occurs for some people . However, the more opportunity I have to learn this knowledge, the more aware I am of its power; as Peter Parker's uncle once said "With great power, comes great responsibilities".
Still, it is really wonderful to hear these stories from my friends, and as our sifu Dato Joey Yap once said, "I am not in a metaphysics business but in a 'Life Transformation' business!"
Have a great weekend, folks!

Regina Ong has always considered herself a normal 9 to 5 working gal until she 'stumbled' upon the exciting yet quirky world of metaphysics. She is currently learning and providing consultations in areas of Classical Feng Shui, Tarot reading, BaZi life chart reading, palmistry and occasional face reading. She is still debating if she has enough 'brain room' to learn coffee & tea leaf reading (Note: Not related to Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf Cafes :P).
Besides being a practitioner of metaphysics, she has great interest in facilitation (an art of weaving organic thoughts or discussions) and other weird stuff (e.g figuring out what people search on Google).
The last time she was this 'weird' was when she was a Star Wars fan at age 13 and had a weird habit of watching the Star Wars movies every week. Still, she's glad there will be a new Star Wars movie (Go JJ Abrams!), and 'secretly' wishes to own a lightsaber one day.

Some friends have asked me if it made sense for me to be learning so many forms of metaphysics studies. It can be overwhelming, but the knowledge I have on several of the field, which includes BaZi, Feng Shui, Tarot, Qi Men, Face Reading and Palmistry (Whew!), does help me to provide a more holistic consultation to my friends or clients. I just found out there is a terminology for this (No, it's not 'Jack of all Trades'). I'm a multi-modality practitioner, consultant and coach. However, I'm at different levels for each of these fields and it requires a lot of confidence, faith and support from a community of friends who are as eager to learn as you are! A shout of thanks to these friends of mine, you know who you are!!
In fact, all this knowledge had helped me to understand myself better and not take life too seriously (a trait I can claim to have PHD certification :)). Besides all of this, it is also my religious beliefs which has helped me to challenge my 'superficial' core values or filters and helped me answer the all important question 'Why am I here?'. But I digress....I'm not here to preach about religion, but rather to encourage you (the reader) to allow yourself to trust in whatever the 'universe' has in store for you, be it good or bad. It's easy to get caught up in our daily hectic lives and assume that we're here to earn a living, pay bills, build a family, support the community, etc....and forget to take a breather and just ask a simple question 'Do I really know why am I here?' Our time here on earth is just a 'blip', and the recent tragedy of MH17 and MH370 proves that life is precious. So don't spend most of your energy complaining about this, bitching about that (yours truly still does it. sigh), in fact take time to reflect on what value you bring to others and let the 'self' (your ego) take a backseat once in a while.
Ok, I'm getting all philosophical and I can just imagine some of you scratching your heads and having a blank stare. Or worse, rolling your eyes. Yup, caught you doing it with my 'hidden camera'! (Kidding!)
Where I'm getting at is that I was a bundle of 'nervous energy' (a term I learnt from palmistry readings) and it was due to me expecting a perfect life, perfect job, etc. I have a super high expectation on myself, that (you guess it right) I often fall short of it and punish myself needlessly.
In my previous post, I kinda sound like a desperate person offering free or cheap readings (and only 1 taker! Aiks!), but that's not what I wanted to do. My invitation to you, dear readers ;), is for you to reflect and ask yourself, are you in that point of your life right now where you need some guidance, and you're open to let the 'universe' reveal its answer to you (sorry, subtle marketing here), send me a note and I'll help you find out. If not, check out this incredible speech by Steve Jobs and prepare for your 2015 new years resolution.
Before I end, let me share a little bit about palmistry readings. If you take a look at your hand right now, you should clearly see three distinct lines featured on your palm. They are what we know as head, heart and life line (refer pic below). These 3 major lines are formed since you were 8 weeks old in your mother's womb. This is not a myth and has been proven by science. The lines on your palm tells a story of who you are and your 'hidden' potential; are you full of energy, creativity? Or are you an emotional person, or a person who resents living? Do you have a gift of telling stories, enjoys a 'materialistic' life, have great ambition or have a stubborn mind? Why is it important to know this? You may argue that it's something you're already aware of, but what you may not be aware is that the lines may have subtle changes (e.g signs of upcoming fortune or ill health) due to present actions. The future is not certain, as the lines tell you of a potential story line; the story of your life. You have a chance to make use of what is good, take knowledge of what you can improve vs leaving it to 'fate'.
Besides reading the lines, we can tell the personalities and character of a person just by observing their palm, the ruggedness or softness of its feel, the shape of the fingers and most important, the feature of the thumb. Great leaders that we know of will have a strong, big or long and firm thumb. Check out the shape of Nelson Mandela's thumb (See pic below), notice that it seems a little bit bigger in ratio with his palm? . A large well-made thumb is an outward and visible sign of a strong-willed, determined person, be he man or woman (excerpt from Cheiro: Palmistry for All)
Ok, I better end my blog soon or you'll start yawning! I guess I'm trying to make up for the super short blog I wrote last week!
Upcoming blogs will include Tarot, Indian Feng Shui (Vasthu Sastra), Classical Feng Shui, something called Qi Men (super powerful ancient art) and more personal breakthrough stories from myself, friends and clients.

Btw, remember this friend I mentioned at the beginning of this blog? Well, she said I should consider a side career as a journalist or writer for metaphysics studies. Sounds intriguing. Er, any editors out there willing to hire me part-time? Although, I really need to polish up my grammar by reading all the English literature I was 'forced' to read back in school.
Have a great weekend, folks!
