At the foot of the mountain, a small spring begins to rise. The water is fresh and alive, full of curiosity and movement, carrying a natural desire to flow. At this early stage, it doesn’t yet have a clear direction, and that’s part of its nature. It explores, spreads, and learns its way forward through movement itself.

Above the spring stands the mountain, steady and shaped by time and experience. Its presence offers a reference point, a form, a rhythm. Without forcing anything, it gives the water a direction to follow. Slowly, the spring learns how to gather, how to deepen, how to flow within a path that allows it to travel further.

This is the image of Hexagram 4 in the I Ching. It speaks to the moment of being a learner, when curiosity is strong, questions are alive, and understanding is still taking shape. Learning unfolds through patience and humility, through accepting guidance and allowing experience to do its work.

For me, it’s a gentle reminder that we grow through openness and steadiness, and that being a student is not a phase we outgrow, but a posture we keep coming back to 🌱

🌊 Hexagram 64 - Before Completion (未濟, Wèi Jì)

As 2025 comes to a close, we find ourselves in that magical in-between space: endings mingling with beginnings. Hexagram 64, “Before Completion,” tells us that even when things feel almost done, the last steps are the most important.

Think of the fox crossing the river. Agile and alert, it must keep its tail dry to reach the other side safely. Like the fox, we too are asked to move with care, presence, and gentle attention as we step into what’s next.

This is a time to pause and reflect:
✨ What needs your mindful attention before the new year begins?
✨ How can patience and awareness help you cross your own river with ease?

From this “not yet” space, order emerges from chaos, endings give way to beginnings, and new opportunities take shape.

Take a quiet moment, breathe, and honor where you are.

Ever wonder how Carl Jung connected with the I Ching? It was a tool he used to explore the unconscious mind and its patterns.

It helped him understand the deeper connections between our inner world and what’s happening around us. It’s not about predicting the future—it’s about uncovering meaning in the present.

Check out our latest blog post to see how the I Ching influenced Jung’s work on synchronicity, the unconscious, and how we make sense of the world. It’s all about seeing the patterns that are already there.

What surprised you most about Jung’s connection with the I Ching? Or is there anything you’d add to this conversation?

It’s wild to think this was written over 150 years ago — and yet Alexander Wylie’s words still ring true.

The Book of Changes (I Ching) has been revered in China for thousands of years — not just because it’s old, but because it holds layers upon layers of meaning. Wylie, a 19th-century Scottish missionary and scholar, was one of the first Westerners to study Chinese literature seriously. Even he was struck by the depth of the I Ching, calling it “unfathomable wisdom” hidden beneath “mysterious symbols.”

That mystery is part of what makes it so powerful. It’s not a book you just read once — it’s one you return to again and again, and it somehow always has something new to say.

Have you ever worked with the I Ching? Or is it something you’ve been curious about?

Think the I Ching is just an ancient fortune cookie? Think again.

For over 3,000 years, the I Ching (Book of Changes) has been guiding thinkers, leaders, and seekers—not with predictions, but with perspective.

In this post, we’re busting 3 common myths that keep people from discovering the real power of the I Ching. Spoiler: it’s not about magic—it’s about meaning.

Bob Dylan once said the I Ching was ‘the only thing that is true, period.’ And he didn’t just say it—he actually used it. In his 1978 film Renaldo and Clara, Dylan mentioned consulting the I Ching to help make decisions. He was deep into mysticism at the time, experimenting with tarot, numerology, and other esoteric traditions. But the I Ching stood out.

For an artist who was always shifting, always searching, it makes sense. The I Ching is all about change—about reading the moment and moving with it. Maybe that’s why Dylan, a master of transformation, trusted it more than anything else.

When life feels like it’s moving too slowly or obstacles are blocking your way, take this as a reminder that this moment is temporary. Instead of pushing through with force, focus on small, meaningful actions that will gradually build toward your goal. Think of it like tending to a garden—you don’t need to rush the process; just take the time to plant a seed, water it, and let nature do its work.

Now is the time to slow down, breathe, and be intentional with each step. Every small action you take is progress, even if it doesn’t seem like much at first. So today, choose one small task you can complete with care and attention. Trust that this steady pace will lead you toward clearer, brighter days ahead. 🌱✨

That’s the way I feel every time I consult the I Ching, for myself or others. It mirrors our soul and tells us what’s inside at a given moment, around a focused question, a specific situation.
It puts words, metaphors on feelings we could not put our finger on.
It calms us instantaneously through the simple “diagnosis” of our own emotions.
Think about it - if you’ve got a rash and don’t know where it’s coming from, you’ll be stressed, anxious, wonder how bad it is?
But the second you go the doctor that says “oh nothing to worry it’s a simple reaction to whatever”, pfiouuuu you can breathe again.
Because it makes sense, it is rationalized, it is logical so it’s not scary anymore.
The same process happens with the I Ching, and is the main reason why at the w end 95% of consultant feel peace of mind they had not felt around their chosen topic for a while. ❤️
Carl Jung studied the I Ching for 30 years, and therefore he knew oh so well how it is the mirror of the human soul.
