Free Total Yijing Upgrade

Users of both the Pro and Standard Total Yijing programs can get free upgrades here.

Thanks to all of the people who posted on the forum or emailed us with their wish lists. We have incorporated as many improvements as we could. Additionally there are some text corrections and a couple of bugs which were cleansed.

A full list of the changes will be announced in the forum. However Pro users will find they can now email reports and copy and paste readings to other applications. There are some substantial improvements in the journal functions too.

Standard users have the text corrections and all known bugs fixed.

Instructions on how to upgrade without loosing your database of readings can be found on the upgrades page, please read them carefully. Uninstalling the program will not remove your license.

There were some very good suggestions which we were unable to incorporate this time. They have not been forgotten and work to improve the program continues. So please do continue to send us your wish lists.

Finally I would like to thank folk for trying and buying the program. We had no idea that it would be so popular. We are continuing to develop it so you can look forward to some major shifts in functionality, look and feel this year.

The Eight Houses method of consulting Yi.

Harmen Mesker has generously allowed us to host this article. It can be downloaded from here.

He takes us on an investigative journey, first exploring who Jing Fang was and what happened to him before going on to explain the techniques which he developed.

He offers us a glimpse into the Han dynasty court which appears to have been treacherous for the unwary or for those who made mistakes. Equally interesting are his comments on the Chinese concepts of Po and Shen, the earth bound soul and the heaven oriented spirit which together were seen as making up our spiritual identity.

I was particularly taken by the idea of the ‘Self Line’ (Shi Yao) and the ‘Other Line’ (Ying Yao) and shall be looking at my readings to see what light these shed upon them.

Harmen carefully assembles the shards of this approach with diagrams and tables to enable the reader to explore further. This is great research and it is definitely worth a read.
