18.4.6>32

[Annnie]

I managed to go a couple of years without having much asthma and since I got a pneumonia for the first time in 10 years a ways back it has been popping up. I asked what is going on with the asthma and I got 18.4 and 6 changing into 32.

I see it as uninvited guests must flee and because I must take care of the body when it is going on I do use meds besides energy work, affirmation etc...From this I got that I am clearing out childhood baggage and I am hoping there is another way to look at it. Changing into duration was not happy given my question.

I do try to be even minded about it and the idea of having to deal with it ongingly is annoying. Guess I better surrender and take care of the body and not be attached while I do things that make me happy and less till this passes.
Any ideas about a different interpretation.

Hi,

I think you have grasped the meaning.

I feel your pain.
No really, we share the same kind.

The answer you got: 18- 4 6- 32
Has pretty much been what I've devoted much of my energy to in the past year in my life.
And it's working for me.
I've gotten this same answer multiple times.

18: Legge: *Successful progress is indicated* for those who properly repair what has been spoiled.

Line 4: tolerating putting up with Dad's crap/malpractice/abuse...etc
(Read this as: ongoing, or even as echoes / ripples in the lake of your being)

Line 6: retiring from the world for self cultivation.

32: Legge: Thunder over wind -- the image of Consistency. The superior man stands firm and does not change his method of operation

I think this says you are doing the right thing by doing this inner work., and you will be successful. Keep it up!

How can line 4 relate to your asthma? In my understanding of TCM the lungs are the seat of sadness in the body.
Google the following: L1 lung pressure point
And try pressing/massaging that spot while doing slow deep breathing and relaxing your spine.

If you happen to smoke anything for recreation, stop it. It doesn't help this at all. Although I've seen it have positive effects on people with anger issues.

Please disregard anything that doesn't apply,
And feel free to let me know if you think I'm full of crap.

:]

I think that asthma is caused by you still tolerating something that has happened in the past.

Line 4 says, Wilhelm:
Tolerating what has been spoiled by the father. In continuing one sees humiliation.

This shows the situation of someone too weak to take measures against decay that has its roots in the past and is just beginning to manifest itself. It is allowed to run its course. If this continues, humiliation will result.

Daniels also writes: 4. The mess should no longer be tolerated.

And line 6 says that you try to evade the issue instead of dealing with it, leading to 32 (Duration).

I don't know what is it that has happened, but internal hex also suggests fighting it:
54.3.5(Inferior position) -> 43 (Break-through)
Stop feeling helpless and break through the obstacles with resoluteness.
Announce the matter at the court (try to resolve the issue by talking with the person causing it maybe?)

In the 5 element theory, wood signifies the anger. And if you look at the trigrams you have 4 wood and only 1 metal (lungs), and an earth. Do you hold anger at someone?

You need more metal or earth that produces metal to balance your situation. (Hex 43 consists of two metal trigrams). Metal cuts wood.
Wear white clothes, eat more spicy food.
The winter(water) has a negative influence for you, because water nourishes wood, and i fear spring would be even worse (spring is wood). Summer will bring relief (fire burns wood).

Did you feel better in autumn? (metal)
Lungs are also connected with skin, how's your skin condition?

Thanks. My boss at work is bringing up opportunities for me to heal certain wounds on a deeper level that mirror my father. Summer is the easiest month and yes winter is the toughest. I do not smoke or drink. I see things that come to me as opportunities. I need to ask to use meds and wait for someone to arrive to use them in another area of the campus when I am teaching. I am angry about that. I brought it to hearing and lost. I wait too long and then I am emotional and challenged. It is about taking care of myself even mindedly.
