The Hexagrams of the Winter Season

As we move into the seasonal energies of Winter, we move inward. We practice isolation. We simplify and we wait. We sense the pressure. We understand the need, and we search for compassion and wisdom in the darkness. We are beckoned to chart a new course, to let go and cast off the obsolete – allowing a new self to take form. It is the season of unhurried grace in which we can be transformed.

My practice during this time is to study the I Ching. It gives voice to our ancient teachings as a way to move forward. My listening heart is surprised every day by the chords of meaning even as they retreat back into the darkness – waiting to manifest as change.

It is my hope that you will read the hexagrams of this winter season. I have found them to be hidden treasures at this exceptional time.
