I Ching in a Nutshell

I received a request for more information about the upcoming I Ching classes.  Here are my thoughts on the I Ching in nutshell.  Feel free to contact me if you have specific questions.

The I Ching is THE book on Yin and Yang, and a vital textbook for acupuncturists who wish to better understand exactly how Yin and Yang work beyond the basic correspondences, at very complex levels of organization.  The first class in February will focus on a small group of Hexagrams, which we will cover in detail. Participants will receive the tools they need for continuous, meaningful study of the I Ching. At the second class in March we will build upon what we learned in the first class, and discuss the remaining Hexagrams.

Why is studying the I Ching important for acupuncturists?  In the treatment room, this information can be used to improve diagnostic understanding, to appreciate the choices your clients make within a larger framework of the changes going on in their lives, and to clarify the healing arc that will best serve your client.

The Yin and Yang balance of any situation can be interpreted meaningfully in several different ways.  The empahsis of this class series is practical applications of the I Ching.  Participants will be shown not just one way to work with the I Ching, but ways to understand it on a deeper level, so they will be able to easily develop their skills and find their own connection to the movements of change.  At the end of these classes, participants will have a very firm understanding of the different ways that Yin and Yang are interpreted and used, and will be able to analyze any event they encounter into complex patterns of Yin and Yang (Hexagrams).
