The quality of your I-Ching reading rests largely upon the quality of the question you pose. In this lesson I will guide you to communicate with the system and spirit of the I-Ching in a way that is effective, uplifting and in alignment with your Highest Good and that of others.

I will now talk you through what to expect in your divination as well as what you will need. Everything in divination has meaning so be mindful and present in the process of preparation. Bring in your touch with sacred items that have meaning for you.

Please have the following items ready: water to drink, a bowl of water to rinse your hands in and a towel for drying, pen, paper, the I-Ching either in written or audio format as well as your guidance request statement. You will need approximately 40 minutes.

We will now go over the important points to remember: from Wu Wei to the individual trigrams, the composition of a hexagram, the participatory experience of the I-Ching and other subtle details that play a big role.
