ValleyStream Posted September 24, 2014 With the new moon in sight we can appreciate this one... Hexagram #2 Earth- "Field", "the receptive", "acquiescence", and "the flow" What is your interpretation of this hexagram?

joeblast Posted September 24, 2014 (edited) deepest of stillness; longevity breathing. the 3 dantiens do not wax along with the breath, no mental stuff, the receptive being the best application for cultivating yin energy and overall depth of potential. cultivating this is like taking your swimming pool and making it deeper.

ValleyStream Posted September 24, 2014 I had to chuckle at the "new moon in sight" I am new to relating Yijing to anything really (let alone lunar cycles). Is it applicable? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Harmonious Emptiness Posted January 5, 2015 Earth is the visible manifestation of the "effortless order" (see comment on hexagram one) of the heavens. At least, that's the basic foundation, imo. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
