The classical fortune telling of Ijing, hexagrams and interpretations require concentration and attention, calmness and peace.
What is Yi Jing?
Fortune-telling with the help of the Book of Changes occurs as follows: having tuned in for advice and gaining a result that you want to know about, a person concentrating takes three coins of the same denomination in his palm. For some time thinking about a problem, formulating a question, a person mentally sends it to the Book.
Coins are tossed one at a time (or all together), and then each fallen coin is recorded with special characters. The coin drawn by tails is written in a dashed line, and the coin dropped by an eagle is solid. Any fortune-telling of Ijing, the meaning of hexagrams in which is considered according to the table given in the Book of Changes, helps to find the right rational grain in the answers, advice on what to do and what to expect. Among the answers veiled in such a way that no matter what the situation may be, the interpretation will sound harmonious and wise, hexagrams with poor meaning are rarely come across, there are only four of them. The remaining sixty are moderately optimistic, inspiring confidence and positive.
