May 13th, 2010UncategorizedThe concept of creating a master group really became popular when Napoleon Hill hit the best seller list with his fantastic book Think and Grow Rich. By the way, if you haven’t read this book yet you are really missing out on one of the greatest self help works ever written. You can download it for free most places on the internet because it is so old, so no excuses in not getting this book and reading it.
The idea of creating a master group is one the world’s most successful people have been implementing in their lives for thousands of years and also one that allows them to keep being successful and live thriving lives. It is based on the concept that success breeds success and negativity breeds negativity. Therefore you should only surround yourself with people who are very successful and have extremely positive outlooks on life.
What will happen when you do this isn’t just that you will be able to support each other more. When you form an alliance like this, your results will suddenly explode and you will get to your goals a lot quicker. This is due to several reasons. The first reason is that successful have very high expectations to themselves and also others and therefore you know that you will look stupid if you don’t take as much action as all the other people in your master group. All the other people in this elite group of course think the same thing and suddenly you start a spiral where everyone is constantly pushing harder towards their goals and there pushing each other at the same time.
Secondly you have surrounded yourself by a lot of great minds. Great minds have great ideas and these people might give you input and feedback on your ideas that you hadn’t even considered yourself. They say that the really small details and factors is what makes the difference between becoming really successful and it is exactly these kinds of small details your master group will notice and steer your attention towards.
Last but not least people in these types of groups are usually very loyal towards each other and genuinely want the best for each other. Therefore there is a mentality of helping the group succeed even though there will naturally exist a lot of internal competition.
The easiest way to start your own elite group is to seek out people with the same goals and values, for example through a forum on the internet

There is a system used called Zone Feng Shui. There are nine steps involved in the system with the ninth step being involved with spirituality. This ninth step is often referred to as the Three Secrets. It is practiced more so in the BTB School than the Traditional Schools.
Traditional Feng Shui is by no means a religion. It is more of a science that helps us, through proper placement, to achieve good Chi and balance in our lives and to harmonize with nature. BTB, short for Black Sect Tantric Buddhist School, was founded in the United States in the mid 1980s by Professor Lin Yun. Professor Yun incorporates into his teachings many forms of philosophy and studies from many different schools of thought, including Buddhism and Confucianism as probably the most recognized.
The Three Secrets of BTB Feng Shui involve a spiritual blessing to enhance the effects desired through the art of placement. It is an optional step and allows those who want to bring their own sense and belief in spirituality into the picture.
The Three Secrets of BTB Feng Shui is also referred to as the Three Secrets Reinforcement. This involves
body, mind and speech in an attempt to improve the effects of Feng Shui in attempting to gain better personal and environmental Chi.The Body is the first step in this process. It uses the mundra which is a hand gesture used to remove obstacles that are hindering us from achieving our goals. Men will use their right hand and women their left when creating the mundra. You would take your hand and hold it straight out and flat. You then curl downwards the two middle fingers leaving the index and baby fingers still stretched out flat. You would then cover the fingernails of the two fingers curled downwards with the thumb. You then flick the two curled fingers so they are once again straight out and flat. You would repeat this gesture nine times. This gesture is considered warding off bad Chi.
The second step is that of the mind. It is the visualization of what you are looking to achieve from start to finish. You visualize your checking account getting larger and larger until you reach your goal. You visualize customers coming into your store in greater numbers, increasing daily. You try and get the image in your mind as to your goals.
The third of the Three Secrets of BTB Feng Shui is that of speech. It involves repeating nine times sacred words of your choice. The Mantra is often used but you can use any sacred words that are meaningful to you. Again, they would be repeated nine times.
The Mantra that many use is the words “Om Ma Ni Pad Me Hum” and is often referred to as the Six True Words or the Mantra of Compassion. It is pronounced “Om Mane Padme Hum”. The actual pronunciation is not as important as the purity of the heart and mind when chanting the words.
That concludes this short article on the Three Secrets of BTB Feng Shui.
Good health and enjoy Sheng Chi! (I will repeat that nine times)
