The Origin of the Later Heaven Ba Gua with Dr. David Twicken

The Ba Gua is the origin of the classic Chinese book the I Ching. A deep study of the Ba Gua expands the knowledge and applications of Feng Shui. The origin of the Later Heaven Ba Gua has been a mystery for over four thousand years and in this workshop a theory of how this important Feng Shui model was derived is presented, it is based solely on Taoist Cosmology without the use of the Five Elements or the Nine Palace Luo Shu. The combination of deep meditation and direct transmission from the Tao revealed to me the Later Heaven Ba Gua is derived from the Early Heaven Ba Gua and the He Tu, the two oldest Taoist energy formations.
