Nourishment 頤 Yí

Watch what you feed your body, mind and words; choose with care.

Trigrams: Mountain over Thunder

The judgement

Nourishment calls for steady attention. Notice how you care for others and what you choose to feed yourself.

The image

Thunder at the foot of the mountain, like a jaw at work. The noble one is careful with words and moderate in eating and drinking.

Light side

Choosing what truly nourishes you strengthens body, mind and relationships.

Shadow side

Feeding on what only fills you, or speaking carelessly, weakens you over time.

Drawing Nourishment in a game of Leela

In Leela Atlas you can draw a card from the I Ching when you land on a square. A bridging question links the card to the square, so the card speaks to your own question:

• What are you feeding in yourself through this question?
• What does "Nourishment" show you about your square?
• If "Nourishment" were advice for your question, what would it say?
• Where do you meet "Nourishment" in your life right now?
