The Art of Inquiry: Asking Your Question

The question you bring to the I Ching is the seed from which wisdom will grow.

Clarity and Specificity

Formulate your question to be as specific and clear as possible. If your question involves a timeframe, define it.

Write It Down

Crucially, write your question down beforehand. This anchors your inquiry and prevents your mind from subtly shifting the focus after the reading is cast.

One Focused Question

It is always best to ask a single, unambiguous, and carefully crafted question. The true wisdom derived from the I Ching often lies not just in the answers, but in your evolving ability to question with depth and sincerity. You may even find it helpful to reread your question and re-evaluate your motivations before proceeding.
