I Ching Consultation
with Dennis Merritt, Jungian analyst, with twenty years
of experience using the I Ching
in the psychoanalytic setting (See article in Menu)
The I
Ching, an ancient compendium
of Chinese wisdom, can be an invaluable guide for life's most
difficult problems. One can address a question to the book
and by a process Carl Jung called "synchronicity" get
a meaningful answer. Important
questions about career, jobs, business decisions, relationships,
or personal and spiritual development get answered with the wisdom
of Chinese sages (see "Use of
the I Ching
in the Analytic Setting"
and paragraph 3 in the Introduction
to my web site www.DennisMerrittJungianAnalyst.com.
I do an intensive three-hour I Ching
consultation using the yarrow stalk method. The first hour is spent exploring the issue and examining relevant
dreams to determine if it is appropriate to put a question to
the I Ching and
how to frame the question. In the second hour I teach the individual
how to use the ancient yarrow stalk method of generating the hexagram
answers. The third
hour is spent reading and interpreting the answers in three different
translations.* I
help interpret the answers much as I interpret dreams.
The consultation can be done by phone if you can not come
to the office. Ideally you would know how to do the yarrow
stalk method, otherwise the simpler and faster coin method could
be employed for phone consultations.
Preferably you would have the three translations I work
with.* The cost is $200 for a 2-1/2 hour consultation
by phone, payable in advance by VISA or Master Card, or $220 for
the 3 hr office consultation using the yarrow stalk method. Contact me by telephone or e-mail to set
up a date and time.
