21.1.6 > 16 meditation retreat

[redoleander]

There is an online meditation retreat I’m thinking of attending. It’s just one day. I felt excited when I saw it. I’m in the habit now of casting before I make choices just to inquire.

I asked “If I do the February 12th meditation day”
21.1.6 > 16

I have received this before and so I feel like this is a good opportunity to ask about it because I don’t understand it well.

The lines are dissuading, it seems. Being stopped and then going the wrong way or not listening. But since they are 1 and 6, it almost looks to me like biting through something? Taking a bite out of it? It looks to me like maybe more than the lines. A day of walking and sitting meditation could have a quality of biting through, definitely, in that it’s clarifying and connected more to immediately reality, or simply is challenging, etc. Maybe it’s being very present that’s biting through.

I’ve found in the past that when I get a negative cast for something that seems very innocent there is usually a hidden reason, even if it’s not catastrophic. So I am open to it simply being a bad idea. But I don’t see why it would be and am not sure about the casting.

curious any thoughts on this.

Hello redoleander!! Hex 16 is you're excitement about this retreat but I feel that when you reread or take another look at it, it's not quite what you think it is.
Line 1 - your interest
Line 6 - not quite what you think it is and if you go ahead hmmm

Yeah I could see that for sure! It’s so odd because it’s so straightforward, just walking and sitting meditation, dharma talk… standard stuff I’ve done before in person but who knows. I always find these readings to be very psychic, personally. I think they do tell me what’s there and neither of these lines are soft or easy. It could also be about me. I have a lot I’m managing right now. A day of meditation might be too much for me at the moment. Line 1 saying stop and Line 6 saying didn’t you see that stop sign back there?

True....when I first read your post I thought Meditation's always a good thing but then my intuition kicked in!!
Definitely it can also be overwhelming when we're not in the right space....
