36. MING I - Darkening of the light

Darkness reigns in the external world now. Disengage from negative feelings and maintain your inner light.

The thirty-sixth Hexagram represents Fading of the Light.

There is darkness surrounding you but you must not struggle. You must wait for the darkness to turn into light. Learn to move around in the dark - you'll be surprised at how you can adapt. Patience is all that's needed and the night will soon turn to day.

If you feel as if life has become dark and there is disillusionment, you must not expect comfort to come from those around you. The solution lies within you. Be positive and tell yourself that the sun never fails to rise. If the darkness is within, you must look into yourself and seek out the shadows that are obscuring your progress. Greater illumination will make the shadows within you disappear.
