Journey

Many practitioners market / brand / position themselves as one of the following:

  1. There are practitioners that cannot highlight enough that they are self-taught to tell you how brilliant they are .
  2. While some practitioners like to market themselves to have initiated into lineages belonging to famous masters as if it will be their masters providing the services instead of themselves.
  3. There will also be other practitioners claim that one or some God(s) / Buddha(s) / Deity(ies) / Angel(s) / <whatever> communicates and teach(es) them the skills they are providing.
  4. Reincarnate or soul belongs to some powerful spiritual claim not in the physical dimension.

Shifu SiMing belongs to none of the above other than he had self-taught in his initial journey on Tarot, Auspicious Name Selection that he started a few years ago and other cartomancy techniques that are not popular in Singapore.

For clarity, “self-taught” here refers to learning through the study of established texts and materials, with an emphasis on identifying consistent underlying principles across sources. It does not mean inventing personal systems or practices.

Shifu SiMing has since received exposure and training through various means, including structured courses, hands-on workshops, informal learning from experienced practitioners, and self-directed study. Not all trainers or programmes issue certificates upon completion. These experiences are listed under their respective disciplines and arranged in chronological order within each category.

These trainings were primarily taught in English language except for techniques that have Chinese names included.
