Hi all,My first post - I asked if it was a good idea to start to put together my coaching program.Any comments? Esp on the changing lines. ThanksHexagram 11, FlowKey QuestionsHow will you work with this extraordinary potential?How can you channel the flow of energy to create harmony?Oracle'Flow. Small goes, great comes.Good fortune, creating success.'Flow is a sign of the free and full expression of tremendous creative energy. It is the name of China's most sacred mountain, Tai, which is imbued with spiritual power. The king would make great offerings at its summit to establish a flourishing, peaceful relationship with Heaven. This is a time to create harmony with the greater flow, letting its energy pour into creative manifestation, as a river flows down into a fertile valley. Pettiness is swept away downstream, and the way opens for free communication. Great things become possible. The true scale of things is revealed, dwarfing your smaller concerns. You sense the powers that surge through your life, and know how far beyond your control they are yet you can enter into true relationship with them and participate in Flow.Image'Heaven and Earth communicate: Flow.The prince enriches and completes the way of heaven and earth,Upholds and assists the order of heaven and earth,To support and protect the people.'SequenceFlow follows from Hexagram 10, Treading:'Treading and also Flow, and then there is peace. And so Flow follows. Flow means flowing together.'PairFlow is paired and contrasted with Hexagram 12, Blocked:'Blocked and Flow are of opposite kind.'Changing LinesLine 1'Pulling up thatch grass, roots entangled, with more of its kind.Setting out to bring order, good fortune.'Line 2'Embracing emptiness, use this to cross the river.Not distancing yourself from what you leave behind,Friends disappear.Gaining honour, moving to the centre.'Hexagram 15, IntegrityKey QuestionsWhat is the simple reality?How might you return to a state of balance?What if it didn't all depend on you?Oracle'Integrity creates success.A noble one completes it.'To experience Integrity is like coming face to face with your real self plain, simple and unadorned. To have Integrity is to be whole, at one with yourself and with reality. It means being honest about your own capacities, holding yourself in creative balance with your world and not exaggerating the importance of your role.These qualities enable the noble one to bring whatever work presents itself to completion. Since she is not overly full of herself, she has space for the real world; she isn't hampered by an excess or by a lack of confidence. Since she isn't caught up in a personal story, and doesn't identify her work with her worth, she is free to do what needs to be done and move on.Image'In the centre of the earth there is a mountain: Integrity.A noble one reduces what is too much and increases what is diminished.Weighing things up to even out their distribution.'SequenceIntegrity follows from Hexagram 14, Great Possession:'Great possession means being incapable of arrogance, and so Integrity follows.'PairIntegrity forms a pair with Hexagram 16, Enthusiasm:'Integrity takes itself lightly; Enthusiasm is careless.'
