Preparation Before Divination
占卜前的准备
诚心正意，方能感应天机
With sincerity and focus, one may sense the ways of Heaven
1Calm Your Mind
Find a quiet environment. Take a few deep breaths and settle your thoughts. Divination requires focus - a restless state makes it difficult to receive clear guidance.
2Clarify Your Question
Silently focus on your question - the more specific, the better. Avoid repeatedly asking the same question.
3Approach with Sincerity
Treat divination with respect, not as a game. While modern practice need not follow ancient rituals, sincerity remains essential.
4Remain Open
The I Ching shows possibilities and trends, not absolute fate. Keep an open mind and use the reading as guidance, not constraint.
「初筮告，再三渎，渎则不告。」
The first consultation informs; repeated consultations defile, and if defiled, there is no answer.
