How can I boost my ability to let go of what I no longer require? 21:4,5.6

[shelbymustang]

Hello everyone, I hope this finds you well.

Brief overview of my situation: Virus early April this year has totally knocked me for 6, I now appear to have the symptoms of Chronic Fatigue Syndrome.

Psychologically/emotionally so much is coming up, so much fear, resistance, panic etc _ I'm taking Homeopathic remedies to get to my core self (there are so many walls which must be blasted through)

I know I need to let go of many things and I want to, honestly I REALLY want to but it is really difficult.

My question as I posted in the title of this post is "How can I boost my ability to let go of what I no longer require?" I received 21:4,5 + 6

Because I'm feeling so caught up in the middle of a maelstrom of feelings, emotions and physical sensations I'm finding it difficult to really get the full meaning of this response.

I would appreciate some help if you had the time.

This says that you have some pretty difficult things to get rid of but you have to be like the "Terminator", tough, determined and never give up. Total awareness is necessary here and line 6 is a warning that if you don't get yourself in order then expect the worst.
It is going to be tough but you can make it through if you are prepared to really try your best.

Thank you Willowfox (I have read many of your replies to posts and have found them to be concise and to the point) yes, that's what I figured this is a bit of a good v evil type Hammeresque battle (sorry dont know much about the Terminator!)...perhaps I should think about rephrasing the question...

I needed to know if there are any obvious ways to coax my inner self to let go and be well and begin life as it should be lived.

Actually I'm going to ask that very question!


Or does anyone have any suggestions on questions I should be asking?

I'll add the response to this thread if that's OK.

Basically a case of mind over matter.

Your question is personal to you and should be kept that way because by using someone's else's question it is no longer yours.

[shelbymustang]

Of course! normally I'd have said the same thing to someone regarding questions!

So I asked "Are there any obvious ways to coax my inner self to let go and be well and live life as it should be lived?"

4:2 => 23 this is about the 'inner child' isn't it? gaining inner trust?

Your're absolutely confident your fatigue is due to your inner self not letting something go ? I mean with hex 3 as the relating I'd say you might not be too sure about the source of the problem. If you are sure fine but I don't think one can really 'coax' the inner self to do anything its the other way around. The inner self is coaxing you...well it is you of course, but the mind/the inner self whatever you call it has its own ways and wisdom which may not be compatible with what you see as desirable. Sounds from what you say you're almost going to war on yourself talking about "walls which must be blasted through".

Hi
I can relate to you cause I’m facing the same problem having many of symptoms of Chronic Fatigue Syndrome but still doctors can’t be 100%. I really can understand all those feelings you say. Its really scary not having the energy to function and be as you used to be and see your body and mind resisting to obey to your orders.
I have been told to rest a lot and reduce my working hours but Its very difficult to take those decisions. I get angry with myself about my slow progress to make those changes and that makes my conditions worse.
Maybe Yi tries to tell you that its ok. Your condition requires strict decisions (21) and that is difficult in the beginning(3). Maybe is necessary to change a lots of things, set priorities change your attitude towards some things etc. It is not easy , is it ? And you are probably too tired to work on that. Maybe you don’t really have to fight/boost your self. Just be nice with yourself. Something like :hug:

Lise says about hex 3
Water and thunder: sprouting
The noble man unravels the warp
The strength of water is not to fight but to yield. For unraveling one has to yield or it will become an inextricable knot. Together with the power of swift action all knots of life can be disentangled.

And about your 4.2 ( again Lise) To care for the immature is an investment for the future. Always look for new possibilities and develop them, even if they do not pay yet. Survival needs renewal.

Yi gave you a nice answer. Take care of yourself. Listen to your body. When it puts brakes don’t push the accelerator. I’m probably the last person that I could talk about it , because I haven’t find the way myself but what I have realized is that when I take care of myself , it rewards me. of course when I feel better I return to my superwoman’s role :bag: but its time I do it with a little bit less easiness.

I could write pages, lol, but I’m afraid I can’t be very objective and maybe give you the wrong advices.

Wish you the best and take care;)

How can I boost my ability to let go of what I no longer require?
21, lines 4,5,6, to 3
You can try your best to bite through, to fight it by yourself,
but the outcome does not sound promising. This does not seem
to be the right way - it will lead you to the misfortune that line
21:6 speaks about (and to further chaos - resulting 3). This does
not seem the right way to go about getting well. 3 might be giving
a hint here as to what you do need to do.
"Nothing should be undertaken. It furthers one to appoint helpers."

Are there any obvious ways to coax my inner self to let go and
be well and live life as it should be lived?
4:2 => 23
This is a bad omen. I've had experiences about this line, and
have witnessed it first hand. It shows one who, despite having
the best intentions, is only supported by immaturity, and is
thus heading towards collapse.

I know other people believe it's not good for others to suggest
questions, but if i had to suggest something i'd say you could
ask,
-- What can i do to help myself get better?
-- What outside help can i get to help myself get better?
Up to you of course, this is just a suggestion.

Wishing you well!

Hey everyone thank you SO much for taking the time to help me out.

You all make total sense - I think I might've gotten my selves mixed up I probably should've asked what could I do to coax my OUTER self into letting go!! Doh! (but also realise it's NOT the right question now)

Yes, this is major emotional conflict - my inner self is not the enemy (now why did I think that a few hours ago?hmm)

What I meant about "walls being blasted" was that I've built up titanium barriers up for over 35 years due to various shocks and traumas and in order to get to my true self I need to blast away at the barriers - but on looking at what I wrote it all seems terribly harsh - yeah I'm not being kind enough to myself (if it was another person it would be emotional abuse)

Hey Trojan - y'know what? I haven't got a clue what the heck is going on any more but all I know is that the enormous emotional issues which all require immediate attention all rose to the surface the exact same day I woke up feeling dreadful - now that was either my inner self purposely grounding my body because I couldnt take on any more cr@p or it was God/Universe working mysteriously (or maybe both of us!) I suspect the latter.
Thank you, you made me stop and think some more.

Maria - I hope to God you get well soon - and aren't over-doing things - that's why I've literally had my legs knocked out from under me. Do you need any information - I've had little else to do but research over the past almost 6 months, if you do please send me a message.

That'll be my answer then - be kinder to myself and don't be impatient :-) and keep seeing the 2 very insightful Homeopaths/Doctors who are helping me out.
You remember to be kinder to yourself as well ;-)

It's very difficult to start being kind to yourself if you've never done it - practice is the order of the day methinks.

Diamanada thank you - as soon as I read the response when I threw 4:2 I knew it wasn't coming from a place of wise action. You know that feeling when you've just had enough and you want something to just get fixed instantly? yeah my acute anxiety and frustration reached a peak this afternoon.

The ideas for the questions are good ones - I'll ponder them some more and weave them into my own words and see how it goes.

I never cease to be amazed when the I Ching gives spot on and spookily personal replies and then for really good people to help give a more detailed picture - this is a truly wonderful site - maybe some day when I gain more confidence and regain energy and perspective I can return the favour.
