I have been consulting the I Ching for over 25 years and still do so on a regular basis. The I Ching has supported my decisions and made me feel as if I have the wisdom of Ancient China at my fingertips. Thank you so much for your channel and for helping non-Chinese people better understand and appreciate the wisdom of it. May many more people around the world learn about the I Ching as it is such an important treasure for humanity.
Hi! Maybe you'll be so kind as to help me. My question was whether the person I'm seeing is my soulmate. The first time I threw 3 heads, 6 times. All lines were solid. The second time I threw 2 heads and one tail 6 times! What does this mean please? Thanks to everyone in advance.
I began to learn of I-Ching from a thick book that I bought. I'm sure that there may be a lot of nays about that. I learned that the I-Ching was all about medicine along with physical and mental health. Lots of nature and fresh air. The sound of music came into me while I read my book about the I-Ching.
This was fantastic! In just a few minutes I have the basic explanation I've been looking for. I'm just getting started with I-Ching and I really appreciate you making and sharing this video. Thank you. 😊

Wow! I've had a knowing since being a kid that 64 is a highly significant number. The ying yang is like binary, 8 bits is a byte, 8x8 = 64. I am getting my hands on this book.

Wonderful video brother. Thank you for allowing people to get a basic understanding of I Ching. Honestly i never herd of it tell i found a book in our public library. Thousands of years of Chinese culture is pretty amazing to see.
I was doing some automatic typing, and the first to phrases were: I AM CHING. I AM CHANGING. ...well so...i am on your video to get some insight. Thank you, for your video.
There are versions of this oracle online that offer readings about living a boundary less life in order for the reader to not experience limitations in life. That is a promotion of poor health. As a Christian into privacy and health, I found this oracle to be a way to draw closer to God and the living words of the Bible. I was only drawn to it because many people have told me about it.
Scooby doo an bigfoot agree. An when Santa comes in 6 months an you await his arrival. You can ask him if this is correct too. But I'm a non believer so I have a hard time asking these gods to help me prove our theories
I love chinese history. Im a college student now and just checked out books from my own personal interest im reading the 已经 now. A doaist monk had an hour long video that explains it very well. Thanks for this video it helps alot ☺️ 666
I’m ashamed to say I just heard of this book and philosophy from the Netflix show 3 Body Problem. I wasn’t sure if the shoe made it up! Thank you for the succinct introduction to it.
I recently have developed an interest in learning more about the i ching after watching the netflix series "The 3 body problem" what book do you recommend to start learning. About this great ancient oracle text?
Great video, thank you! But I have a question: why water and river, as well as earth and mountain are different elements? Aren't they the same in nature?
Hi Den, yes they are same in nature but different in the way they present. eight trigrams are not elements. If you can check out my 5 elements video, you might have a better understanding of it :D
here in Brazil some acupuncturists are using the iching trigrams with acupuncture points with success. I think maybe each trigram has its own unique energy, right?!
Okay this is a bi random but I love the instrumental from here and I've been looking for a simillar one. Do you mind sharing the artist or the track where you found it from
A lineal language of sound is involved with the I-ching. It is as The Right Stuff breaking the sound barrier. That is the essence of space. Not burnt meat.
Thank you for the video. I got the book but it doesn’t come with the stick or the hexagram. Which one do you recommend and can you do a video to show us how to use the hexagrams and the sticks. Thanks
If everything is always changing, that means that change itself is a constant and not changeable. Therefore the statement “everything is always changing” is false. This is similar to the statement “do everything in moderation”. How do you do moderation “in moderation”? That means moderation itself is an extreme and not moderate. “Do everything in moderation” is another false statement.
Hi! Thank you for your video. It is just what I was looking for. Is there a specific book you recommend for practicing the I Ching? Or how do we go about or practicing this technique? Thank you!

The Wilhelm translation is probably the best early English translation. Stephen Karcher's though, is fantastic for young initiates, perhaps the best one to start with. And then there's www.jamesdekorne.com/GBCh/GBCh.htm which is a nice commentary primer as well (and free). I used to have a copy of Da Liu's Numerology I Ching that I loved (!) but it's difficult to find these days.
@@DeckardCroix Thank you so much for your input! I'll take a look at these and order one of them online. I-Ching is such a fascinating theory/practice!
@@DeckardCroix Yes, this is the translation (Wilhelm/Baynes) that was recommended by a scholar and author about C.G. Jung, who wrote the forward. When reading through the information about how it was translated, all together, it seems like the best translation available - it went from Chinese to German to English, but the knowledgeable son of Wilhelm was able to work with the current translator to make certain it is the best and most accurate version since his father has passed before Baynes could have Wilhelm review the English translation.
Definitely the Wilhelm translation is the best, because it is the most poetic as well as being accurate. Wilhelm appears to have respected the immense power of the book. The first English translation, by Legge, while accurate, is dry and academic and treats the book as an interesting ancient artefact, not as the living subjective consciousness it seems to channel.
@@prahslra Thank you guys so much for the input! A few months ago, I gave in to trying Legge's translation. It seems very complete, but it did feel like a verbal puzzle for my stage of learning lol. I'm probably going to revisit the book after getting my hands on the Wilhelm translational! I'm very big on C.J so I think it'll fit with what I'm looking for! 😊🙌🏾
Yes, 64 hexagrams consists of two chapters, first chapter consists of 30 hexagrams from Chien to Li, second chapter consists of 34 hexagrams from Xian to WeiChi. There is a meaning behind such order.
I Ching was written long ago than Tao te Ching. It is mainly for divination but also the very root of Chinese culture and philosophy. It gave birth to Laozi's Tao te Ching.
I have a question: What is the relationship between ying/yang philosophy, 8 triagram with Lao Tzu and Taoism. Many people said that ying / yang originates from Taoism
In the beginning of every phenomenon, there is emptiness (also known as wuji). From this emptiness, there arises winds of polarities. These are the energies of yin and yang. (For eg, a new product comes into the market. Originally, there isn't much opinion about the particular product, people either don't care about it, or only have a vague idea of it and carry no opinions or judgements. This is Wuji. Once the product appears, there is an automatic division of polarities. Some people start liking it, while the others dislike it. This is the yin and yang of Taiji that appears from the boundless stillness of the original emptiness.) From the highs and lows in the level of yin and yang arise the Great Yang, Small Yin, Small Yang and Great Yin. (You can google them up). These then combine and recombine to become the Triagrams. The Triagrams are only called by their names (Heaven, Wind, etc.) because the phenomena that the names describe carry a very matching vibration to that of the original meaning of each of the Triagrams.

Does I Ching have any ties with the book Tao te Ching
I Ching was written long ago than Tao te Ching. It is mainly for divination but also the very root of Chinese culture and philosophy. It gave birth to Laozi's Tao te Ching.

I have a question: What is the relationship between ying/yang philosophy, 8 triagram with Lao Tzu and Taoism.
Many people said that ying / yang originates from Taoism
Ying/yang originates everything in this universe.
In the beginning of every phenomenon, there is emptiness (also known as wuji). From this emptiness, there arises winds of polarities. These are the energies of yin and yang.
(For eg, a new product comes into the market. Originally, there isn't much opinion about the particular product, people either don't care about it, or only have a vague idea of it and carry no opinions or judgements. This is Wuji. Once the product appears, there is an automatic division of polarities. Some people start liking it, while the others dislike it. This is the yin and yang of Taiji that appears from the boundless stillness of the original emptiness.)
From the highs and lows in the level of yin and yang arise the Great Yang, Small Yin, Small Yang and Great Yin. (You can google them up). These then combine and recombine to become the Triagrams. The Triagrams are only called by their names (Heaven, Wind, etc.) because the phenomena that the names describe carry a very matching vibration to that of the original meaning of each of the Triagrams.
