The first book to cover the complete Taoist teachings on form,
structure, and symbol in the I Ching.
- Provides many new patterns and diagrams for visualizing the
layout of the 64 hexagrams.
- Includes advanced teachings on the hosts of the hexagrams, the
mutual hexagrams, and the core hexagrams.
- Written by Taoist Master Alfred Huang, author of "The Complete I
Ching."
"The Numerology of the I Ching" is the first book to bring the
complete Taoist teachings on form, structure, and symbol in the I
Ching to a Western audience, and it is a natural complement to
Alfred Huang's heralded "Complete I Ching." It examines not only
the classic circular arrangement of the eight trigrams but also the
hidden numerology in this arrangement and its relationship to tai
chi and the Chinese elements. Huang explains the binary code
underlying the I Ching, the symbolism behind the square diagram of
all 64 hexagrams, and Fu Xi's unique circular layout of the 64
hexagrams, completely unknown in the West. Entire chapters are
devoted to such vital material as the hosts of the hexagrams, the
mutual hexagrams, and the core hexagrams--all barely hinted at in
previous versions of the I Ching. With appendices listing
additional symbolism for each hexagram, formulas for easily
memorizing the Chinese names of the sixty-four hexagrams, and much
more, "The Numerology of the I Ching" is a must for serious I Ching
students.
- Detailed instructions for creating a home that harmonizes with
the natural and spiritual energies of its environment
- Unlike feng shui, which favors adding "cures" to cover
existing problems, vaastu (like holistic medicine) focuses on
fixing underlying problems for the health of the entire system
- By the director of the foremost vaastu center in India
- Includes 100 line drawings to make all the complexities of
vaastu understandable to a beginner
Feng shui practitioners are quickly discovering vaastu, the
Indian art of environmental design that helps you create a home
that is in harmony with the natural and spiritual energies
surrounding it. Until now, books on vaastu have told you where to
place your doors or ponds without fully explaining the rationale
behind this. "The Vaastu Workbook" presents vaastu as it was meant
to be understood--as an interconnected part of the great Indian
tradition of sacred knowledge, along with yoga, ayurveda, and
astrology.
Using hundreds of clear line drawings, "The Vaastu Workbook"
takes you through every conceivable vaastu situation, exploring the
dos and don'ts of window and door placement, interior design,
street focus, directional facing, landscaping, and much more.
Introductory chapters provide a thorough grounding in the basics of
Indian astrology, the five elements, and the healing tradition of
ayurveda, all of which is necessary to truly understand the details
of vaastu. With this knowledge in hand, even a beginner can quickly
learn how to design a new home--or renovate an existing one--in
order to bring peace, prosperity, and happiness to those who live
there.
