Okay, so today I decided to mess around with Hexagram 59, which is all about dispersion or dissolving – you know, breaking things down. I wasn’t really sure where to start, so I just dove in.
Getting Started
First, I spent some time just thinking about what “dispersion” means to me. I mean, it’s not something I usually ponder, right? I jotted down some ideas in my notebook: like, clouds dispersing after a storm, a crowd breaking up after a concert, even just dissolving sugar in my coffee. Just trying to get a feel for the concept.
Visualizing It
Next, I wanted to see it visually. I grabbed some watercolors – don’t judge, they were just there! – and started playing around. I wet the paper and dropped in some dark blue, then watched it spread out. It was kinda mesmerizing, actually. I added some lighter colors, letting them blend and bleed into each other. It felt like a good representation of that whole “dissolving” idea.
Applying it to Life
Then I thought, “Okay, how does this apply to my actual life?” I realized that sometimes I hold onto things – grudges, anxieties, whatever – and maybe I need to practice a little “dispersion” myself. Like, letting go of that argument I had with my friend last week, or releasing some of the stress I’ve been carrying around about work.
- Identify: I tried to pinpoint one specific thing I was holding onto.
- Acknowledge: I admitted to myself that it was bothering me.
- Release: I took some deep breaths and consciously tried to let it * a bit, you know, “woo-woo,” but it felt good.
The Takeaway
So, yeah, that was my day with Hexagram 59. It wasn’t some huge, life-altering experience, but it got me thinking. And sometimes, that’s all you need – just a little nudge to look at things * might be helpful.
