Course overview
震 (Zhèn), one of the eight trigrams in the Yi Jing (I Ching), represents thunder, a force of sudden energy and movement. Its structure—an unbroken yang line at the bottom supporting two broken yin lines above (☳)—symbolizes dynamic strength emerging from a foundation of stillness. 

By aligning with the energy of Zhèn, we can harness its transformative power to awaken our potential, embrace change, and move boldly into new opportunities.
In addition to Dao talks, scriptural work, mystical study (玄学 xuan xue) and meditation, this year’s monthly Daoist training will focus on the Book of Changes (一经 Yi Jing).

The Yi Jing, or Book of Changes, is a revered Chinese divination text that offers wisdom bridging spiritual, philosophical, and practical realms through its eight symbolic trigrams. By exploring the teachings of the Yi Jing, seekers can harness ancient wisdom for personal growth, decision-making, and spiritual enrichment.

☳ 震 (Zhèn): The Power of Thunder

震 (Zhèn), one of the eight trigrams in the Yi Jing (I Ching), represents thunder, a force of sudden and powerful energy that shakes the world into action.

Its structure—an unbroken yang line at the bottom supporting two broken yin lines above (☳)—symbolizes dynamic strength emerging from a foundation of stillness. The unbroken yang line at the bottom signifies the solid and active foundation needed to support change, while the broken yin lines above reflect the disruption and adaptability required to navigate life’s upheavals.

Thunder, as a natural phenomenon, is both awe-inspiring and fearsome. It signals change, heralding the end of stagnation and the beginning of new growth. Zhèn teaches us to embrace the unexpected, using moments of upheaval as catalysts for progress. It is the trigram of action, energy, and the courage to move forward despite uncertainty.

In nature, thunder clears the air and heralds rain, bringing nourishment and growth. Similarly, Zhèn represents the energy of awakening, where disturbances lead to clarity and revitalization. It embodies the power to move forward, even in the face of fear or uncertainty, and encourages bold action to overcome obstacles.

By harnessing the transformative power of Zhèn, we can awaken our potential, embrace life’s challenges, and move forward with vitality and purpose. Like thunder clearing the skies, Zhèn clears the way for new beginnings.
