This case study, Compilation of Articles and Essays, is a unique addition to the Case Study series as it does not focus on just one aspect of Feng Shui; rather, it’s a sampling of my articles. At the time it was put together, I had […]
Feng Shui experts have called the compass (luo pan) the essential tool of the trade because so much theory and application is relative to directions. Your North is someone else’s South. For example, if you need to make an adjustment to the Northeast sector, it is vital […]
