Hi everyone,
A dear friend of mine who is also a dancer recently had a severe problem in her knee and cannot dance again. She was one of the best in the company, and still young enough to know she would enjoy a good couple years more in her career. So you imagine how this come as a shattering life event for her...
She has been coming over at my place often, I am trying to support her as best as I can, as I also quit not long ago and know how difficult it can be to start afresh "out there" in the "real world" as we call it...
She never used the I Ching but kept insisting I'd introduce her to it. I told her I was not the ideal person, as i am a beginner and have been using it myself merely for 2 years. But she wanted to feel how the questioning-answering process goes and I helped her out, coin-wise and interpretation-wise. I gave her my sincere opinion on her reading, letting through my intuition and talking freely because I felt she was comforted by it somehow...
But when she left I was scared that I abused the knowledge of the book and her trust in me, and that I might have lead her on mistakingly. So I thought I could double check the reading here and if anything very new and striking comes up from your opinions, I will let her know.
So, her question: What will happen if I move to London to pursue the studies in dance-therapy?
context: dance is her life and she doesnt imagine doing anything else. (how I understand that!). She always had the longing to unite that with her impulse to work with healing, and to build community. But her own career as a dancer always came first. Now that is gone and her planB is either move on to this education in a city she cant really afford (so far) and where she knows no one, or stay here and just teach classes, or as a remote chance join the commune I have also been working with, and retreat into the wilderness. None of the options seem to fully resonate with her at the moment.
answer: 14 (3,6) > 54
I told her that for me this meant she has a lot to offer at this moment, her dance skills and knowledge, together with the beautiful sensitive human being she is, is really a great treasure. It is promising to share her wisdom with others, and she could approach this experience with an attitude of someone who shares what she knows and not only piles up more knowing and makes a better CV. So overall London seems like a promising way to go, but I also intuited some frustration (54) as in being somehow out-shined or second-choice, not at her full potential. Or in other words, she has to accept she is not anymore the star of the company, as she has been so far.
Line 3 made me also think that she can genuinely have high aspirations in this healing thing, to help others and contribute to a larger context, but perhaps some structures in her are still too attached to having a career and being always the best (as I always knew her to be). We talked a bit about this and her motivations to go to london...
Ok, she left pretty confused and I was left thinking I was out of line. At some point I was really talking like someone who really understands and can speak on behalf of the I Ching - and nothing could be further away from the truth....
I think I can still make amends and call her back, what do you suggest I could add to my previous reading in order to help this decision of hers?
Thank you so much,
