If I come for a personal reading face-to-face, rather than by email, what happens?
We sit on cushions on the floor drinking jasmine tea and discuss what you want to ask the oracle. This is the best way to consult the I Ching, as a certain 'something' is transmitted by personal contact. I don't do many in-person readings in a year and from time to time I withdraw from giving them. This kind of reading to me is what the I Ching is all about. The very act of coming to the oracle in this way can be a powerful experience. When you have your question, the I Ching is consulted. We discuss what it says and I give you my interpretation if it is unclear to you. People often understand it straight away, because it accords with their own intuition about the situation, confirms it. A consultation can last an hour or two. I don't impose an arbitrary time limit on it, but it wouldn't take more than two hours, usually less. Each consultation has its natural close. The process is frequently mysterious, yet simple in its effect. (http://www.biroco.com/yijing/readings.htm#facetoface)
