How to treat my anxiety? Hex 60 1.4.6 into Hex 6

[sergejeviic]

Hi,
I was wondering if you could help me with this because I think it did give me wider insights about my current situation, but I would like to get the second opinion.

My question was about how to get rid of my anxiety and panic issues lately coming back, however, the context is the following. I'm now at the beginning of huge change in my life. I just submitted resignation from the job, which was the worst work-related experience ever, for this job I moved to different country and I think because of that I got my anxiety and panic attack, but not sure.
So, I decided to go to China mountain school for 6 months to practice qigong and daoist meditation. And already paid. I planned to go in January.

But now I got this warning from 6 "postpone your trip to the far shore", "get advice". Basically, if 60 gave me assurance that I might do the right thing (because qigong is all about balance and not falling into extremes), then changing lines and transformed hex 6 a bit freaked me out (anxious . Me, myself, I am the one who usually falls in extremes and chooses confrontation vs compromise.

Hmm. It would make sense for me if I would go from conflict to limitation and that would be a solution for anxiety, but why reverse?

Also what about this warning to postpone the trip and ask for advice in 6?

Thank you so much in advance,
Kristine

Hi Kristine,
Welcome!
The trip in January sounds great for you.

The idea of 'anxiety' doesn't really exist - it's such a natural process. Where we get caught up is the resistance to it. The panic about the panic. Thinking about thoughts. The problem with problems. You're reinforcing it with your thoughts. 60 represents joints of a bamboo plant - the natural ebb and flow and beginning and end. Once you learn to accept things as they are (qigong and daoist meditation will help with this) anxiety will diminish or vanish entirely. You'll still have your thinking, but your thinking won't have you. Simply notice and go about your day.

All the best

But now I got this warning from 6 "postpone your trip to the far shore", "get advice".

For instruction and counsel we look to the changing lines of hex 60, not to your relating hexagram of 6, which probably just indicates that you are conflicted right now. We read the relating hexagram as usually giving the context of your question.

When three lines are moving in the primary hexagram, I focus on the middle one. In this case there is nothing advising you to stay home in January. In fact, the top line moving seems to urge you to get out of painfully restrictive circumstances.

How could there possibly be a better way to treat anxiety & panic than a mountain retreat for six months of qigong and taoist meditation?

60: may mean limit habit thoughts
6: may signify inner conflicts caused by over-thinking

All the Best
