It's also an interesting experience to ask yourself what a certain hexagram means to you; if, for example, you focus on hexagram 13, Community/Friendship, you can explore the wisdom of established scholars and commentators to understand the universal meaning of a hexagram...and then turn inward, to your own memories and experiences...ask yourself what "community" and "friendship" mean to you, intimately, personally, and how your personal meanings relate to the universal meanings. I have been studying the I Ching for 26 years now, and it's become a relationship like any other -- a lifelong conversation. Like any relationship, yours will deepen... :-) Margie,

There are I Ching cards, too, some of which are very good. That’s an excellent suggestion, thanks. There are I Ching cards, too, some of which are very good.

It has for every hexagram a chinese painting that reflects the meaning of the hexagram. You know the left-brain, right-brain thing. Its amazing how just looking at the image can bring everything into crystal clear focus. I recommend trying out R.L.Wings book.
