Taoist metaphysics

Taoism is an ancient Chinese chamanic wisdom based on the observation of nature's cycles and the interaction of the five elements (wood, fire, earth, metal and water). With this knowledge, the ancients created the “Taoist metaphysics”, i.e. effective tools to harmonize life. In western countryside too, the observation of nature has enabled us to use temporality to work the land and provide for our needs. For example, for the mountain farmers of the Ormonts (VD), the foundations of a solid house must be laid on a certain date. Respecting the energy of the beginning is what perpetuates the structure. While in our cities we are increasingly losing this ancestral knowledge and connection to the earth, it has been preserved by generations of Taoists. These tools enable us to seize the best opportunities, to get closer to our inner selves and to others, to draw healthy boundaries, to develop our intuition, to achieve inner and outer harmony, to attract wealth in order to heal ourselves and the world. In the Taoist conception of life, the question is not to know if something is “real or not real” but rather to understand if they are “effective or ineffective”, in this sense as something is effective, it is real. Far from being deterministic, Taoist metaphysics gives us all the information we need to make the best decisions at the best time. It also brings us closer to nature, encouraging us to explore the elements to achieve balance.

The Taoist metaphysics are composed of divination (Yi Jing), astrology (numerology and BaZi), art of strategy (Qimen Dunjia for astrology and divination) and study of the environment (Feng Shui).

“Until you make the subconscious conscious, it will direct your life and you will call it fate.”

-C.G. Jung

BaZi (Astrology) - Jiu Gong Ming Li (Numerology)

Arts of destiny

Following Taoist astrology, an energetic imprint is embodied for us at the moment of our birth in the 4 pillars of destiny under the influence of our Master of the Day, which is our strongest aspect. Our Master of the day is one of the 5 elements (Fire, Earth, Metal, Water, Wood) either Yin or Yang.

These pillars enable us to know our strengths, our skills and our life potentials, but also our challenges, like a map of your life’s journey. The chart allows us to understand any potential or hidden opportunities, and equally important the obstructions and threats that we are exposed to. The use of temporality combined with knowledge of our intern flow allows us to make the most of our personal chart, take advantage of the opportunities that come our way and protect ourselves as best we can from hardship. Being aware of our potentials and difficulties gives us control over our destiny.

The quality of your life is determined by the quality of choices you make. Chinese astrology allows you to make better decision that are aligned with a good temporality. Interacting more easily with partner, family, work and social life, as well as finding the right strategy based on a certain temporality to achieve goals will make your life more harmonious and lighter. Knowing the personal maps of the persons around you (partner, children, parents, friends) will make you understand them better. Numerology (Jiu Gong Ming Li) will as well be used if needed to get a different point of view.

Example: a child is Wu (Yang Earth, Mountain, needs to recharge in immobility) and the parent is Ren (Yang Water, River, needs to recharge in movement). Until the parent understands that their child has a different imprint, they will make them “move”. Eventually the child will feel guilty when they need to rest and move away from using the power of stillness, the power of the Mountain, which might cause stress and chronic fatigue. On a relationship level, it might cause a tension that could easily be avoided if the parent understands and respect the child’s inner flow and consequently stop projecting their own flow on them.

“My destiny belongs to me and not to heaven”

- Master Liu Yuan Tong

Yi Jing - Qimen Dunjia

Arts of strategy

The Yi Jing, often translated as "Book of Changes", is one of China's oldest and most influential classical texts. This system of divination and philosophy relies on the use of hexagrams, combinations of broken and continuous lines, Yin or Yang, sometimes in "mutation", to offer insights into future events, decisions and complex situations.

The Yi Jing, in its Taoist approach (Liu Yao), enables us to show a complex situation from different angles, so that we can better understand the elements hidden within the problem. With a better vision of the big picture, you'll be able to make better strategic decisions for your family life, your love life, your career or your health. The Yi Jing also helps you find the best timing to act or...not to act.

Originally devised to help form military strategy and tactics, Qimen Dunjia is a strategic art to take actions. It is about placing the right person at the right place and forecast an individual’s luck through the aspects of time and space.

The Yi Jing and Qimen Dunjia can be used to get an answer in countless situations, such as:

  • Professional: Should I get this job that was offered to me? Which employee should I hire? With which contractual partner should I sign? What is the best strategy to achieve my goals? Where should I relocate? Should I quit? is it a good time to take risk? Is it a good time to act or not? How to attract wealth? Should I start my own business? Will this new training bring me wealth? Is my professional activity supporting me? Do I have hidden competitors who try to harm my business? What is preventing me from having clients? Is it a good moment to invest ? Is it a good investment? Can I trust this person? Should I sue? Will I be accepted in this school?

  • Personal: What is blocking me? What personal activity or hobby would support me? How to behave with a person to reach harmony? Who are the persons around me, are they supporting me? How to dissolve a confict with a friend ? How to attract a healthy relationship? What is preventing me from being in a healthy relationship? Will I feel good in this new apartment, should I move? Is this investment going to bring me wealth? Is this house that I am buying healthy or will I have problem with hidden defects?

  • Destiny consultation

    As human beings, understanding our unique purpose is essential. Tools like the Bazi (the Four Pillars of Destiny) can illuminate hidden areas, reveal why some efforts may not succeed, and, most importantly, uncover our innate strengths and talents. Knowing our inner landscape means discovering our true selves, recognizing our potential and resources, and letting go of guilt to move strategically forward with greater freedom.

    A destiny consultation offers profound insights into your true self and provides practical tools to help you achieve your goals.

    Strategic consultation

    Sometimes, we face tough decisions that leave us feeling stuck. Tools like the Yi Jing reveal hidden energies and provide a broader perspective, helping us make wiser choices. Other times, a great idea or project stalls due to unexpected obstacles. In those moments, we can either despair or explore new paths, timings, or strategies. Practices like Qimen Dunjia combine self-awareness, environmental insight, and the unseen to guide us with clarity. Once a closely guarded secret, Qimen is now emerging as a powerful tool for thoughtful action.
