The Early Heaven Oracle: Original Oriental Wisdom to Unlock the Power of Good Fortune [Paperback]

Traditionally devised more than five thousand years ago in what is now part of China, the Early Heaven teachings - the original wisdom behind feng shui - are as fresh and meaningful today as they were in antiquity. Early Heaven seeks to promote self harmony by working with life's fundamental forces that, whilst constantly changing, are always balanced in the grand scheme of things. The Early Heaven Oracle has been developed as an easy-to-use means of accessing this ancient wisdom to answer the questions that inevitably arise in all areas of modern life. Offering a radically different perspective to the I Ching for the many people who find that system difficult or confusing, The Early Heaven Oracle provides a valuable, simple and effective alternative source of guidance. Using two ordinary coins, Ken Taylor takes the reader through a simple step-by-step process to discover one of thirty two basic answers or meanings to the question being asked. The interpretations given are in clear everyday language, relevant to the contemporary world, and include many practical examples and possible applications to all areas of life.

This is more than an alternative to the Yi Jing (I Ching); it is an introduction to the ancient Oriental system from which the Yi Jing and Feng Shui derive.

Reputedly 5,000 years old (some 2,000 years older than the Yi Jing etc), the Early Heaven system preserves the simple yet profound wisdom of China’s prehistoric ancestors. Based on intuitive observations of nature, the Early Heaven lore explores our relationship with life, the universe and, well, everything.

As such, it is as fresh and relevant to our modern world as it was to the sage Fu Xi who was inspired to create it. No previous experience or knowledge is required to derive maximum benefit from this book.

As an oracle, Early Heaven not only offers a method of investigating the past, exploring the present, and foreseeing the future, it also presents a holistic approach to dealing with everyday events and day-to-day problems.

Topics covered in this book, which is illustrated with line drawings, include the story of how the Early Heaven system was discovered and developed, and how the Later Heaven system came to be dominant. Yin and yang are also discussed, showing how this simple binary formula unlocks the complexities of modern life.

There is a detailed assessment of the oracle, describing how it can become your personal counsellor, and how to use it to explore your subconscious and even develop true clairvoyance. Information on the theoretical mechanisms governing divination (including C G Jung's milestone investigation into synchronicity) is also provided.

There are details on the best techniques for preparing yourself (and your surroundings) to consult the Oracle. There are also, naturally, complete instructions on how to use this sophisticated yet straightforward system of divination, as well as comprehensive divinatory meanings to help you interpret its answers.

Other topics, for the more advanced reader, include problem solving, guided visualisation, tapping into your subconscious, magic, and Feng Shui.

By gaining an understanding of the Early Heaven system that underpins this oracle, you can discover how it can be used to bring the course of destiny closer to the heart's desire, and unlock the power of good fortune.
