How do you start a hexagram in the I Ching? What is needed?

Hexagram prediction is the evolution of the ancient Zhou Yi gossip, also known as gossip prediction.

Hexagram prediction can be used in a number of ways to start the trigram (trigram is to record a number of random actions, according to the results of the action to predict), such as hand-cranked coins to start the trigram, birthday to start the trigram, the number of trigrams, the direction of the trigram, and so on. In order to better sense the human field energy, we generally take the hand shaking coin divination.

The method of divination:

The person who seeks to test the hands of three copper coins (if not, you can use 1 yuan coin instead), flat in the palm of the hand, in a quiet environment, and the person who seeks to test to be in a situation where there is no alcohol, too full or too hungry, there is no panic, the mood is calm, the idea of focusing on the things that are seeking to test, meditate for about 1-2 minutes, the hands are together, the space in the middle of the closure to try to The space between your hands should be as large as possible, so that the coin can be shaken in your hands. After shaking several times, let the coins in your hands naturally scatter on the table or a clean and flat floor. Note down the results of 3 coins (several heads and several tails) and repeat this action for a total of 6 times***. From the second time onwards you don't need to meditate, just pick it up and shake it a few times and then throw it out. The result of this six times is a hexagram, through which the teacher can predict what will happen to what the seeker wants. According to the prediction, and then put forward some changes and methods of dissolution, to achieve the purpose of avoiding harm, good luck and bad luck.
