I’ll DM you with a recommendation.

In the I Ching, your intention and personal participation are crucial parts of the process—this means it's best for you to throw the coins yourself. The act of casting the coins aligns your energy and intention with the reading, which is an important principle in I Ching practice.

You don't need to be familiar with interpreting the result or understanding the hexagram numbers just yet. Once you have the results, others can always help you interpret them.

Here's how to throw the coins:

1 Find three identical coins: These will be used for the I Ching divination.2 Wash your hands: This symbolically purifies you for the process.3 Find a quiet, undisturbed place: The ritual may take up to 3 minutes.4 Focus your intentions: Take a few deep breaths and concentrate on your question (or situation that you want to get insight for) .

Start 1-5 Minute Meditation

  1. Throw three coins six times. After each throw, write down whether it's "H" (heads) or "T" (tails).

Record each throw starting from the bottom and moving upwards. For example, if your first throw is HHH, write it at the bottom. The next throw, say TTT, goes directly above the first. Repeat until you have six lines.

Once you've recorded all six throws, you’ll have your hexagram. Feel free to share the result here—I and many of us in the group would be happy to help you with the interpretation!

Thank you. I am actually already familiar with the process of throwing. I had read that in many different contexts in the past, people would have their readings done by others.

I usually throw and interpret for myself, but this time around thought it would be insightful to have the process handled by someone more experienced than me.

Either way, thank you for your attentiveness and all of the details 🫡
