I Ching involves using special coins to seek guidance from an ever-mystical ancient oracle. A big old worn book. You throw the coins, with your worry in mind, the way they landed gives you a set of “lines”. The lines are a kind of secret code used to consult the old book.

The I Ching or “Book of Changes” is filled with ancient wisdom passed down since 1000 BCE. t is written in a kind of poetic melody of proverbs. The advice given to the coin thrower is always eerily pertinent to the life concern at hand. I am always in awe at how insightful this inanimate book actually is. What king of hocus pocus is this??

How Does it know?

All things in the universe are made of atoms, we are all are simply atoms. Everything is atoms.

The atoms vibrate at different frequencies. This creates our different experiences of matter. It creates you, it creates me, it creates trees, water and air. It is life and it is death.If you could see the world as if you were looking through a strange giant, high-powered microscope, you would see matter in vibrational form. Like neo seeing code in the matrix, you would see that everything is actually the same.

This is what we call “energy” or the “universe” or “god”. When we slow down and consult our higher selves, our intuition, thats how we tap into this reality. We connect into the Oneness. Nothing and everything exists the same. When we do this mindfully we become like a drop of dye in a bucket of water, we simply become one with it. sing any form of oracle isn’t so mystical. It’s just an inanimate tool that we can use to hear our own inner voice. It’s like a flashcard of what your soul or the oneness already knows.

Tarot and Oracle cards.

I draw Tarot and Oracle cards. – the same principle applies. I really love the art that can be found on these cards. Truely beautiful images and so accessible for someone new to the idea of a higher self. This means I can share and teach it with friends and clients by simply showing them. It is learnable pretty instantly.

Making a ritual

I have been exploring the idea of pulling a card for the beginning of each week. A way to kind of set a reminder for my spirit as I go through the week ahead.

 I allow my mind to calm, and I watch my thoughts drift through like I am watching clouds drift. I remind myself of my connection to the universe, and its infinite abundance. I draw a card and place it in front of me so I can contemplate its message for the upcoming week.It’s a simple reminder to choose Joy over fear.

I choose Joy over fear.
