I Ching | The Book of Changes

Understand the I Ching, and the Tao will remain with you.
Its application knows no end. It makes True Connection possible.

Ruan Ji, 3rd century poet

 

The I Ching, or Book of Changes,
is one of the oldest known books in the world.

It represents an ancient wisdom tradition that posits change as life’s essential constant.

Using the I Ching helps us understand and navigate the eternal laws underlying all change and transformation, and align our choices and behavior with the Tao, the Natural Way of cosmic harmony.

While things are in their beginning stages, they can be best influenced by our choices and behavior.  By learning to recognize situations in their germinal phases, and by aligning our will and actions with what the times demand of us, we act to shape our fate.

The I Ching represents a rigorous method through which we can study the dynamics inherent in our present circumstances. Through careful scrutiny of time conditions, as well as our own character, attitudes and motives, we work to bring into fruition the results we desire to experience. 

Working with the I Ching provides practical insight when facing difficult circumstances or an uncertain future. It’s especially helpful in: 

  • Evolving our leadership capacities
  • Making critical decisions
  • Breaking through stuck places in relationships or during a project or creative process, and 
  • Gaining an objective, enlightening perspective on our life and challenges

My father turned me on to the I Ching when I was 16, and for the next five years in my first spiritual community we all used it intensively. I’ve steeped in this practice my entire adult life–I literally cannot imagine my life without it! It’s a truly priceless gift, and profoundly worth exploring and studying.

Since it takes quite a few moons to become fluent in the practice, it is my honor and delight to be your guide through this profound realm…

What People Say

As to the thousands of questions, doubts and criticisms that this singular book stirs up–I cannot answer these. The I Ching does not offer itself with proofs and results; it does not vaunt itself, nor is it easy to approach. Like a part of nature, it waits until it is discovered. It offers neither facts nor power, but for lovers of self-knowledge, of wisdom- if there be such-it seems to be the right book. To one person its spirit is clear as day; to another, shadowy as twilight; to a third, dark as night. He who is not pleased by it does not have to use it, and he who is against it is not obliged to find it true. Let it go forth into the world for the benefit of those who can discern its meaning.
~Carl Jung From his 1949 foreword to the Wilhelm/Baynes translation of the I Ching
I had the pleasure to consult Adam Bauer in a moment of key changes in my life. His work was very professional, caring and reflective. It gave me the opportunity to look at different issues from a renewed perspective, which ended up being greatly helpful.

Julio Olalla, Founder of Newfield Network   
Adam's warm, caring and professional personality made me feel immediately at ease. His knowledge and wisdom of the I Ching reading gave me some valuable and interesting insights into some personal dilemmas. This offered me a new way to reflect on my life and helped me to move forwards.
