I Ching readings

For about 3,000 years, the I Ching - the Oracle of Change - has given inspiration and guidance to millions of people. They've found the insight to create lasting relationships, the knowledge to achieve their goals - and, most importantly, gained an understanding of what is happening in their lives.

I provide personal, confidential I Ching readings from this site: an I Ching Mentoring service based on weekly phone calls and a regular reading practice, and single readings by phone or email. (To learn more about me, see 'Your I Ching diviner'.)

When the I Ching can help you

A few things I've divined about for clients over the years:

  • Romantic relationships
  • Relationships with family and friends
  • Recovery from loss
  • Career and retirement decisions
  • Workplace relationships
  • Choice of further education
  • Business strategies, choices and relationships
  • Moving house

At times when you feel settled in your world, profoundly at peace with the way things are unfolding for you, then there is not much call for change. The I Ching - the Book of Change - is for the other times.

It's for those times when the ground seems to shift under your feet, when things just aren't working any more - all of which is a sign that new creative energy is surfacing and seeking expression. Maybe there's a decision you have to take to liberate your creative power. Maybe you hold a vision of an extraordinary relationship, or maybe you're feeling an inner 'pull' that tells you you have more to give in your working life. The oracle enables you to work with that creative drive and find ways your vision or gut feeling can become reality.

The rise of creative energy in your life may make you restless, or frightened. Strangely enough, it can also feel like being very, very stuck. But feeling 'stuck' is actually a sign that your energy is on the move again. Inner shifts leave you feeling 'stuck' until you can find ways for the rest of your life to catch up. Just making do with how things are is no longer an option.

Yet at the same time, it's never been more important to stay centred - to hold on to what is of greatest importance to you, to know you are in the right place, at the right time, doing what is right for you. This is the kind of knowledge that an I Ching reading can bring out.

Signs it may be time to talk with Change

Also... is something telling you it's time to bring your 'blue skies' plans down to earth? (That's the only place they'll actually happen, after all...) The I Ching offers a steadfast reality check, guarding against the dangers of hubris.

One response, or a conversation?

There are two ways I can help you to learn from the I Ching: through a single reading, or through ongoing I Ching Mentoring.

I Ching readings

"Dear Hilary,

Thank you for your patient explanations. After thinking about the readings and your explanations, the whole picture has become quite clear.

I have started to make plans for doing the MBL next year, because that seems to me the most powerful possibility.

Again thank you for your help and I am sure that I will consult you again, when I have to take the next difficult decisions.

kind regards,
Reinhard Pircher"

A single I Ching reading is like turning on the lights. You choose a question such as...

"What if I tried this?"
or
"How can I achieve this goal?"
or simply
"Help?"
... and the oracle's answer gives you clarity, insight and confidence in your next move.

You might choose a single reading if...

A single reading costs £50 (about $98 or €66). For more information, and to get in touch with me to discuss how I can help, click here.

I Ching Mentoring

I Ching Mentoring is designed to give you access to the full benefit of an ongoing relationship with the oracle:

Staying 'woken up'

The I Ching will not let us sink into stagnation. Any reading - every reading - can show you the world in a new light, shaking off the weight of limiting habits, shattering those heavy mental edifices about 'how the world works'. It keeps your mind, your way of thought, alive and inspired.

But how to live with change and stay poised, alert and balanced - not scattered, stressed, and more than a little like a headless chicken?
Answer: By keeping a firm grasp on the source of change.

Staying connected

This, too, comes with regular contact with the I Ching. It keeps you in touch with the still point at the centre that is the true creative source. It helps you realise that upheaval doesn't happen at random, for no reason: it happens to renew a living connection, and as part of an unfolding story. The I Ching speaks of 'not losing the sacred ladle and libation' - of holding what is truly important in your own hands.

I Ching Mentoring centres on four phone calls each month, plus email support, and costs £100/month. For all the details, and to get in touch and talk over what would suit you best, click here.

If I've read for you before
... then you might want to go straight to the order forms. Here they are:

"Hilary,

I wanted to express my appreciation for your excellent reading. The very essence of your knowledge and the imagery you convey moves one to a greater awareness of creative expression, aided by the personal skills of humanness that you possess. It’s wonderful to practice such gifts with the fluency and warmth of sincerity you bring to it.

It was a dynamic process working with you and brought positive illumination to me. Your personal integrity and insights into the I Ching confirm the wisdom shared, in which you give yourself so abundantly. One senses strongly in your presence during the reading the quality of time and your full interest to mutual understanding and new possibilities of the challenges that await one. It renews one greatly each time transformative energy is released and that is one of the most powerful influences which one takes away from learning what you have to offer the reader; I am so deeply impressed by its natural flow and lines of understanding. You make the experience a personal one, and so very worthwhile and rewarding.

You give so much of yourself in what you do. It’s unmistakable, the gifts you apply. I will not hesitate to call upon your harvest of wisdom again!

I’m listening, silently, at the banks of the river I must cross. What Clarity I see!"
