How to use the I Ching

Take any three similar coins. You throw the coins to decide your reading; this is a random access method that somehow seems to provide the reading that you need.
By throwing 3 coins 6 times you can choose randomly between 64 options.

You will need a pen and paper to record your result.
You can ask it a question before you start.

Shake the coins between your hands, randomly, as you feel, and drop them on to the floor.
Note how many heads and tails you got.
There are only four possible results. HHH or TTT or HHT or HTT
Score 3 for a Head, and 2 for a Tail, so each throw can be 9 or 6 or 8 or 7.

You have to do 6 throws - this is why you will need a pen and paper.

A throw that adds up to 7 or a 9 is a Yang line, and an 8 or a 6 is a Yin line.
You draw a horizontal line for a Yang ------- or a broken line for a Yin --- ---

Important: The first throw is drawn at the bottom and then you pile them up until the 6th throw is on the top.

There is a chart to convert this pattern into a chapter number. Find your chapter

Where you have got a 9 or a 6, either three heads or three tails, you get an extra reading in the Lines section at the end of each chapter.
