Today: “Your integrity projects great influence on everything around you.  Just being there, being yourself will inspire kindness, compassion and joy.” from the I Ching

Your integrity projects great influence on everything around you.  Just being there, being yourself will inspire kindness, compassion and joy.

See:   Today: “What is prayer? You create a vibratory effect which goes into the Infinite Creative around the psyche of you.” Yogi Bhajan

and then this: Tao Te Ching – Verse 16 – Empty your mind of all thoughts. Let your heart be at peace. Watch the turmoil of beings, but contemplate their return.

See the previous reading: Today: “Do not join the sycophants who blindly accept blind leadership.  Keeping your integrity will serve you in the end.” from the I Ching

See the previous previous reading:  Today: “Follow what is true.  You will find that it becomes irresistible.  Once you awaken to truth you cannot unknow it.” from the I Ching

Give this a try:  Try any kriya that you see here.  The first one below reflects my recommendation for a practice that will facilitate the advice given by the I Ching today.

The following entries were selected as recommendations from past readings.  If you choose to practice one,  do it for 30 days.  That is the expected time it takes to modify any particular habits or tendencies that the kriya addresses.

If you practice one for 90 days, it will penetrate your subconscious and help you form new habits.

If you practice it for 120 days it will penetrate your unconscious.

If you practice it for 1000 days, you will master it.  It will become a part of your psyche.

See Richard Wilhelm's translation for this reading
34 – Thirty-Four.  Ta Chuang / Awesome Power

Thunder fills the Heavens with its awful roar, not out of pride, but with integrity; if it did less, it would not be Thunder:
Because of his Great Power, the Superior Person takes pains not to overstep his position, so that he will not seem intimidating or threatening to the Established Order.

Opportunity will arise along this course.

SITUATION ANALYSIS:

The Awesome Power available in this hexagram stems from what the Taoists call your Te, a term not perfectly translated into English.
Roughly, it is your Integrity — not in the Western sense of honor — but more in the psychological definition of a full integration of Who You Are.
This Awesome Power is achieved only by fully embracing both the good and the bad, the strong and the weak, the masculine and the feminine — all polarities within you.
Such self-knowledge spawns a Mastery tempered with the humility necessary to rein in and harness this Awesome Power.

The great lines, that is, the light, strong lines, are powerful. Four light lines have entered the hexagram from below and are about to ascend higher. The upper trigram is Chên, the Arousing; the lower is Ch’ien, the Creative. Ch’ien is strong, Chên produces movement. The union of movement and strength gives the meaning of THE POWER OF THE GREAT. The hexagram is linked with the second month (March-April).

THE JUDGEMENT

THE POWER OF THE GREAT. Perseverance furthers.

The hexagram points to a time when inner worth mounts with great force and comes to power. But its strength has already passed beyond the median line, hence there is danger that one may rely entirely on one’s own power and forget to ask what is right. There is danger too that, being intent on movement, we may not wait for the right time. Therefore the added statement that perseverance furthers. For that is truly great power which does not degenerate into mere force but remains inwardly united with the fundamental principles of right and of justice. When we understand this point – namely, that greatness and justice must be indissolubly united – we understand the true meaning of all that happens in heaven and on earth.

THE IMAGE

Thunder in heaven above:
The image of THE POWER OF THE GREAT.
Thus the superior man does not tread on paths
That do not accord with established order.

Thunder – electrical energy – mounts upward in the spring. The direction of this movement is in harmony with that of the movement of heaven. It is therefore a movement in accord with heaven, producing great power. However, true greatness depends on being in harmony with what is right. Therefore in times of great power the superior man avoids doing anything that is not in harmony with the established order.
