How new are you to the Yijing?
If you're just getting started, Hilary (our den mother) has a nice, free beginner's course here. If not check out some of references and links on his site.

I believe I first heard of Yijing maybe 10 years ago now, I had a skim as to what it was and didn't really look much further into it. At the age of 15 I dismissed it as fluff, as I dismissed a few things that I now find useful.

Nearly 7 years ago I got the bug for meditation, a real flash inward illumination if you like, that's quite a grand way of putting it but it certainly adjusted my ideas on synchronicity/coincedence.

Anyhoo, last year was a real dog for me. All my own fault of course, behaving like an idiot and getting arrested for it, it wasn't much of a crime but a crime none the less. It was obvious to me that I'd really hit rock bottom.

But now I am feeling better (despite a cold and bad throat) and focused on improving my life. I've been focused before but had always fallen away after a while, so I feel I need a couple of techniques to back up my positivity. I need to learn, I am craving knowledge. If I can make Yijing my friend then that can only be a good thing.
