Hexagram 5 often shows up when we feel ready, motivated, and willing to move and yet... life doesn’t quite follow our timing. That can bring a little restlessness or worry, especially when we’ve already done so much inner or outer preparation. This hexagram reminds me of a boat - that is ready, clean, the crew is on board, everything is in place, but truth is it cannot really go anywhere until the wind blows. So the feelings that envelop me with this one are around the invitation to relax into the pause, to nourish ourselves, and to trust that movement will come when conditions align. How does that resonate for you this week? ⛵

Waiting looks different for each of us, especially when things feel ready inside but the outer movement hasn’t caught up yet. Curious about what helps you stay steady, nourished, or grounded while life takes its time :) Please share your wise tips and tricks to deal with a "waiting" kind of state.

#Hexagram 4 - 蒙 Youthful Folly speaks so clearly about learning, guidance, and the humility of being on a path rather than already knowing. It made me curious about where each of us stands right now, so I invite you to vote in the poll below. And if you feel like sharing, let us know in the comments what you’re learning, who might be guiding you, or what you’re passing on these days.

Hexagram 4 is now available in the Classroom, and working on it brought back a moment that made me smile. 😊 Recently, a friend I admire a lot - who has just started learning how to teach yoga - consulted the I Ching for the first time with me. He was a little hesitant, doubtful, and very curious. When Hexagram 4 came up to describe where he stands, we both laughed, because it fit his situation so well. He’s at the beginning of a new path, learning to be a teacher, guided by someone very wise, calm, and slow, while he himself feels more impatient, eager to understand faster, and wondering what direction this teaching will eventually take him. Sounds just like the spring, at the bottom of the mountain doesn't it? For me, this hexagram is a beautiful reminder of modesty and humility, and of the fact that we are always, in one way or another, beginners. No matter how much we know, learning never really ends.. it just deepens. You’ll find the full Hexagram 4 lesson now in the Classroom → Hexagram of the Week. I’m curious to hear where this hexagram meets you right now 🌱
