In feng shui, energy shifts in 60-year cycles, 20-year cycles and 9-year cycles. The energy is also shifting on an annual basis, and even monthly and daily. In classical feng shui, we remedy and enhance our living and working environments every year and tweak our feng shui each month.

Mountain Earth broke me. It broke me, vertebrae by vertebrae, piece by piece. Pulverized my bones to dust, as if they were dry and brittle. To blow away in the wind and find a new place to settle.

The echo chamber could also be called the ego chamber. It's a sounding board that reflects back only the words you give voice to. Everything you think and say is repeated back on a continuous loop, reverberating through the halls of the mountain.
