There are 64 hexagrams within the I Ching, and it is through the tossing of the coins that we come up with the correct guidance for our particular situation. When we finish tossing the coins, we add up the lines and numbers, and we get “our” personal hexagram - the hexagram that holds the information we need and the answers we are looking for. It may sound complicated, but it’s quite easy to catch on to once you’re involved. Heads have a numerical value, as do tails, and after we toss the coins six times, we build what is called a hexagram based on the numerical outcome of the coin toss. The coins have two sides and depending on how they fall, they display either heads or tails. I use pennies, but Chinese coins can be used as well.

Trust that who you are right now, inside, is enough. However, the person who shines with wisdom is the person of modesty." In other words, be yourself. There is a passage here that says, “A human being has it in their power to shape their fate, whether they use benevolent or destructive forces. This is also a way of telling us that we, too, are responsible for being "real," and that we need to trust in our own selves so we can have the confidence to be ourselves without fear of the other person rejecting us.
