Sitting quietly with our eyes closed for even as little as ten of fifteen minutes a day begins to "clear the waste" out of our hearts and minds, making room for the nourishment of peace and wisdom to enter in. The second counsel is that we begin and continue in a regular practice of meditation.
There fore it is wise to hold yourself free from desire. A self-reinforcing cycle of negativity is thus created. When we forego our equanimity and begin to desire something or someone, a host of other inferior influences come into play: we become ambitious about obtaining the object of our desire we become fearful that we will not if we do achieve it our ego is gratified and strengthened and it soon issues another demand for us to meet. The first counsel is that we should not feed our minds on desire. This hexagram gives us three-part advice on that subject. What you put into your mind is even more significant, and regulating it is a more subtle art.
Because it determines your fundamental physical well-being, it is wise to be moderate and thoughtful about the food you eat. What you put into your body is obviously important. This is a test that we should apply to ourselves as well as to others. Those who cultivate inferior behaviors and relationships are inferior people those who cultivate superior qualities in themselves and others are superior people. The I Ching teaches us that if we wish to gauge someone's character, we should notice what he nourishes in himself and in others. It comes to remind us that the nourishment of our bodies and spirits is important and merits our conscientious attention. The image of this is hexagram is that of an open mouth.

READ I CHING SOFTWARE
This software comes with an electronic version of James Legge's translation of the main sections of the I Ching - that is, the Hexagram Text, the Line Text, and the Great Image. It will, however, calculate the Relating Hexagram, the Hexagrams of Context, the Patterns of Change, and the Steps of Change, once you have entered the Primary Hexagram with any changing lines. The I Ching Readings Journal does NOT cast the hexagram - this is left for you to choose your preferred method.
