A Guide to The I Ching

Description

A Guide to the I Ching is a communication system developed specifically to support us on our journey in self-realization and enlightenment. It utilizes the language of light and the structural map of the 64 themes to expand our consciousness to new possibilities and teach us how to live in the state of higher self-awareness.

It is a way to establish a collaborative working relationship and ongoing conversation with our higher mind so that we are intuitively guided in the most beneficial way possible. Working with our higher mind consistently saves time and teaches us how to make choices that are in alignment with the greatest good and our highest purpose.

This collaborative process takes us beyond intellectual understanding into the intuitive experience of higher truth where we integrate new awareness into our daily lives and experience the evidence for ourselves.
