【玳瑚師父玄學論】 《秋涼如我心》
The Chill of Autumn in My Heart (English version below)

春天到來時，充滿曖意。夏天到來時，充滿熱意，如在烘爐裡。秋天到來時，充滿涼意，連花兒也謝了。冬天到來時，則充滿寒意，人們的臉上，也開始少了笑意，可能是錢包被「凍結」了，哈..... 。年底佳節「尋歡作樂」呀！腰帶就需束緊。

在流光中，不知不覺地又是另一個秋季。今年的秋季似乎急了點，夏季還來不及收拾行李，它就來接班了。吾的意思是說，秋天的雨季與涼意提早蒞臨了。雖然天涼好個秋，可是上了年紀的人，就要喝一喝薑茶了哦！身體的酸痛會得到舒解，也能夠預防着涼。其實年輕的一輩，都可以喝，沒問題的，尤其是生於秋冬季的。

熱帶國家總希望雨神能常關照，這是自然的反應，也是五行的生剋制化。秋天到來氣轉涼，就不該飲太多冷水或冰水哦！也不該食太多生冷食物或雪糕哦！玳瑚師父溫馨提醒，妳你可不要當耳邊風哦！如果妳你仍然一意孤行，妳你就準備當醫生們的「恩主公」好了。哈哈哈！

有時候秋天的涼意，也彷彿會出現在心上。心上的涼意，相信會比外在的涼意，更加地涼。這句話不知妳你們苟同否？打個比方說，有位房屋經紀，雖聞吾之名而來改名字、批八字，可是卻帶着試探的心，因而不採納吾給予她，百分之一百準確，的建議與忠告，一意孤行地任意「行動」，結果病了好幾個月。吾怎會知道她病了呢？因她自己來電告訴吾的。 真是秋涼如我心。

The advent of Spring brings about the feeling of warmth. The arrival of Summer drives the temperature soaring high, as if we are baking in an oven. The season of Autumn heralds the start of cool and breezy days and blooming flowers say their goodbyes. When Winter comes knocking, frost and chilliness descends upon us. In winter, there are less smiling faces, perhaps because their wallets are "frozen" too! Ha! The year-end festivities and merrymaking are coming! Time to tighten the belt!

In the passage of time, without the slightest of notice, another season of autumn has arrived. It seems to be in a little hurry this year. Without waiting for Summer to fully pack her bags, Fall is already here to takeover. What I am trying to say is that the rainy and breezy season had arrived earlier than expected. Although it feels good to welcome the cool weather, it pays for the elderly to heed this advice: drink ginger tea to rid your body of aches and prevent catching a cold. The younger ones among us can drink this concoction as well, especially for those born in the autumn and winter months.

Countries in the tropics often wish for the Rain God to call on them often. This is a natural reaction, aligned to the inter-dependency of the Five Elements. Autumn has arrived and the weather is turning cool. You should not be consuming too much cold drinks, nor should you be feasting on raw food and ice cream! Take it as a gentle reminder from Master Dai Hu. Should you turn a deaf ear to my words, and continue your own ways stubbornly, you will end up being a benefactor to the doctors! Ha ha ha!

Sometimes, I feel the autumn "coolness" in my heart. I presume this feeling is often more "cooling" than the actual breeze itself. I wonder if you agree with what I have said. Take for example, there is this client of mine who is a real estate agent. She heard of me, and came to change her Chinese name and did a Destiny Analysis. However, she was just here to sound me out and had little faith in what I said. She did not fully adopt my professional recommendations, which would have worked for her with 100% accuracy. She still went about her own ways, and ended up sick for many months. How did I know that she fall sick? Because she gave me a call and confessed to me. That was when my heart felt the chill of the autumn breeze.
