     "Everyone knows that we live in uncertain times. With all the memes on the internet via social media, and email, we are constantly reminded that we should live in the moment, because tomorrow ain't promised.

    So How Does A Psychic Reading Help Us To Navigate Through The Moment?



    Interesting How Much Of This New Age Shindig Seldom Mentions Getting A Psychic Reading, Or Encouraging Folks To Learn About Astrology, Tarot, Dream Interpretation, I Ching, Numerology, And A Host Of Other Ways To Check Out What Is Happening Around Us.Where's the disconnect? Hmmm…. Wonder if it's a stream of money thing. If they direct folks to use their own Psychic abilities, things that will have them stand on their own, they may lose a lucrative stream of income.

    The New Age movement has simply put a new face on the old paradigm. You need somebody to "show" you the way. You need someone to "channel" for you. If they revealed that you could uncover the truth on your own, and even expose their motives in the process, that would Counter-productive for them.

    No Wonder You Never Hear About Psychic Readings In The New Age Circles.

Nana Baakan Discusses Understanding the I Ching Playlist

Just added a new video.. Jeeeees, it took so much time to get it done. Working with really cool video software, but it was a trial and error venture.. I think I got it now.. at least I hope I do.
New video is called "Introduction to the I Ching, Good Hexagrams vs Bad Hexagrams, Lesson 7b". But check out the entire series if you are interested in getting more clarity about the I Ching, how it works and how to use it. Please leave your comments and questions as well. Thank you.





LINK TO PLAY LIST = http://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLC4D19CAA84861524 

The I Ching (Yi Jing) is an amazing oracular system developed in Ancient China more than 5,000 years ago. It continues to have relevance up until this day. It was first developed by an intensely Spiritual Man by the name of Fu Shi who's ethnicity harkens back to according to some Africa in some reports... In fact, there is a strong correlation between the I Ching and the Ifa system of Nigeria, West Africa. For the complete list of these videos see: http://spiritualjourneyings.blogspot.com/2011/10/understanding-i-ching-for-everyday.html


The first Chinese emperor, the legendary Fu-Hsi (2953-2838 B.C.) was a woolly haired Black man. He is said to have originated the I Ching, or The Book of Change, which is the oldest most revered system of prophecy. It is known to have influenced the most distinguished philosophers of Chinese medicine and thought.
http://askville.amazon.com/African-origins-Traditional-Chinese-Medicine/AnswerViewer.do?requestId=2758424
http://www.africaresource.com/rasta/sesostris-the-great-the-egyptian-hercules/the-black-african-foundation-of-china-the-first-chinese/

Fu Shi, having spent some time studying the markings on a tortoise shell was inspired to develop a system that would help humanity understand the every day changes as well as the celestial changes in the Universe. He started with just two lines, then three, called trigrams and develop these trigrams in reflections of the elements around him. wood, Earth, metal, water, fire. From there came the repeating cycles productive, destructive, controlling and dissolving. Of course as with all Ancient Texts, changes, editions and subtractions have been made, especially in translating it from the Ancient Mandarin.
All in all it comes to us, and from much experience it has given me, it shows to be one of the best systems around.
I have been using this system without fail for over 30 years. It has guided me through some trying and joyful times. It has given me a stronger ability to intuit and helped me to relinquish my dependence upon it. Over time, one becomes so in tune, that they can "forecast" the hexagrams that may come up in a reading, providing confirmation for each life situation that it is consulted on.
This a series of videos. And since I am about to throw my old cassette tapes out from the many classes I have held in the past, this will go for posterity's sake.

Please check the link below.
Read as many books as you can find on Amazon.com on the I Ching and use this oracle as your pocket guide to a more fruitful, spiritual and effective life.

Namaste

THE WINTER SOLSTICE TIME IS THE BEST TIME TO MAKE YOUR RESOLUTIONS, VISUALIZATION, LISTS OF WHAT YOU WANT TO SEE HAPPEN IN THE COMING YEAR. 
When we do things in the alignment with natural cycles we tend to be more successful. The resolutions made on New Year's Eve, Dec. 31, are going to be more difficult to keep due to the fact they are being made during a mis-alignment. Not to mention, they are made with the big distractions of a just past Christmas and a coming New Year's Eve Party!!! Resolutions will shortly be barely remembered if at all with all that going on. 
When a farmer is aware of the best times for planting seeds, that is when the seeds are planted. Because of the general wintry climate and the shortness of day light, it portents a time for introspection, quietude, meditation, fasting and contemplation. Take a look at what the past year has brought and make changes in these quiet moments, moments that will hold your resolutions in longevity.  It may also help to get assistance, i.e., through a psychic reading, focused meditation, visualizations, soul searching, etc.; to help determine what resolutions are most apt to move to successful achievement considering the energies of the coming cycle. Everything is energy.




Below is a booklist of some of the books I've studied and found quite helpful. I use a variety of references so that I can get the best understanding out of the reading. Over time, I became less and less dependent on the books, and more on my intuition but initially, the books are great references. What I like about them is that they each have their own perspective on the Hexagrams... You can use them for various reasons in various circumstances.
