I Ching with Clarity podcast – I Ching with Clarity

The I Ching with Clarity podcast dives into real I Ching readings, relishing the way the oracle dissolves barriers between spiritual connection and ordinary life. Once a month, I’ll explore a new reading, aiming both to make interpretation accessible to beginners and to share some rich imagination food for more experienced diviners.

Yi’s companionship

September 11, 2025 • 37 mins
Brian asked, "Why am I compelled to leave my job and join Greenpeace?" and Yi responded with Hexagram 18, 'Work on what has been spoiled' in the Wilhelm/Baynes translation he was consulting.

A marriage dispersing

May 8, 2025 • 31 mins
How does the Yi help in an impossibly painful situation? It's hard to describe - deep recognition, being recognised, a sense of reconnection. Dominique's reading for this episode: "What is the lesson that I must learn through the pain of losing my marriage and our future?" And Yi's answer: Dispersing - Hexagram 59, with no changing lines. It's a beautiful response - I hope you enjoy listening Transcript, for Change C...

Sprouting

April 10, 2025 • 39 mins

Those explorations touched o...

Hiding Light

September 12, 2024 • 28 mins
An annual reading, this time: the first thing Maria does on her birthday is to sit down and ask to be shown a reading for the coming year. Here's hers for 2023-24: Hexagram 36, Brightness Hiding, with no changing lines.

A new source of income

This episode of the podcast could also be entitled 'light dawns in the end,' as it took a while for me to join all the dots between the querent's situation and the reading.

    Cardiac Cowboys

    Cardiac Cowboys

    The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
