Readings for restarting the podcast

Readings for restarting the podcast

I’m sharing two ‘behind the scenes’ readings of my own in this one – encouragement from Yi that nudged me along the path towards relaunching the podcast. The questions: ‘What about restarting the podcast soon?’and‘How about this idea of a podcast solely of readings?’ There’s also a lovely example of Yi making connections between readings… Continue Reading

Fording the river: Hexagram 11, line 2
