SEPTEMBER 24 –  OCTOBER 01

FOUNDATIONS ON THE YI JING (I CHING) HEALING

This class is directed to students who are interested in I Ching and who want to apply this ancient method for healing.

The content that will be studied will include:

  • The origins, development and current situation of the I Ching
  • Yin-Yang Theory
  • The composition of the Eight Trigrams
  • The mathematics of the ancient He Tu (River Map) and Luo Shu (River Scroll)
  • Theory and mathematics of the 9 Palaces
  • The Generating and Controlling Cycles of the Five elements
  • The 10 sections of the Space-Time of Heaven and the 12 Sections of the Space-Time of the Earth, and theories and methods on how to unify them
  • Methods on how to use of the 10,000 Year Calendar (Chinese Calendar)
  • Explanations on some of the I Ching Hexagrams
  • Using I Ching methods to cast hexagram, to determine the cause of diseases in assistance to healing and to recover body health
  • Understanding the effects and results of actions we undertake and how to regulate the development, direction and outcomes of such actions

Requirements for attending the I Ching Healing course:

I Ching is a tool within which there are a lot of fixed formulas and extensive contents. In order to allow the contents to be taught quickly and effectively, upon receiving course deposits, studying material will be sent so that the student is able to memorize and recite it in full when the class begins. For this, please consider register as early as possible so you have enough time for preparation.

In ancient times our connections to our higher selves and to the Earth were unobstructed. People used their hearts and minds to communicate with one another. At some point a massive transformation happened within Heaven and Earth, and this connection was closed off. After that happened, there came a time of difficulties and sages of ancient civilizations gave the I Ching as a guide to help humanity. They provided us this tool so that we had a method to be able to communicate with Heaven and Earth, to help us when we need it.

When studying the I Ching, it is very easy for humans to deviate from the Great Dao. This is because common people tend to use it from their own selfish hearts, their egos and their own needs; people choose between what they like and what they don’t like. Everything has a Cause and Effect. Actions taken through selfishness, through our egos, our own desires will have a negative effect on our souls, our compassionate hearts and our vibrational frequencies.

To study I Ching you must put down your selfishness, let go of your attachments, put down gain and loss, put down honor and disgrace, put down fame and profit. If you do, you will be able to unify with Heaven and Earth, unify with the energy from the Source of the Universe, from the Great Dao. You will be able to understand, “Ji ran bu dong gan er sui tong”, which means to sit down, calm your thoughts, calm your breath, and get your brain to return to point 0. To get your brain’s electrical signals to stop. This is the door to transcend time and space. You must pass through this door to understand the rules of the 10,000 matters and the 10,000 beings. If you can open your third eye and view the beginning and ending of all things, only then can you truly understand what I Ching is.

The minimum number of students required for this course is 8. We reserve the right to cancel the course 2 months prior to course commencement if the requirement is not met.  Anyone honestly interested in taking part in this course is required to submit an application (download here). The decision for acceptance will be made within 3 weeks. After the student is accepted, deposit must be made in order to secure his/her place in the course.

If for some reason students decide not to stay at the temple, the deposit will not be refunded and they must leave China, since the responsibility for their visas falls on the temple.
