If you’re here, you’ve said yes to a WAKES Way Reading. Thank you for trusting me with this. I’m genuinely excited to see what emerges for you through this process.
Origins
Where It All Started
Early in our journey of sharing sound baths, we started getting surprisingly consistent feedback from people having what they described as one of the most profound experiences of their lives. It’s clear that something cracks open when we offer ourselves to that emergent space between ourselves and life – a wisdom reveals itself that is both uniquely ours and somehow not our own. Breakthrough, creative expansion, and healing become possible.
Over the years, we’ve been tirelessly honing this process and developing frameworks for understanding how to help more people sink deeper into these profound possibilities.
Meeting the Oracle
About three years ago, the I Ching found its way into our lives. For those unfamiliar, the I Ching is an ancient Chinese oracle – a wisdom system that creates dialogue between you and life’s deeper intelligence through a simple process of casting coins and interpreting the resulting patterns. The connections between what we had been discovering in our sound baths and this ancient wisdom started coming together in an almost unbelievable way.
What We’ve Created
Fast forward many thousands of hours of exploration and development later, and we’ve created something totally new: a system that combines all we’ve learned from guiding people on inner journeys through music, modern psychological frameworks, and ancient spiritual wisdom into a rich, practical, and transformational tool for self-enquiry.
The Calling
It’s hard to explain the feeling of being drawn into this work other than to say it has felt as though the I Ching offered its structure and wisdom to create something new (a muse, if you will), and we were willing to help midwife this vision into reality. We sensed many times that it wasn’t yet ready to share, but today we believe it finally is.
What We’ve Learned
The single most important thing that helping bring this system into the world has taught us is that life is intelligent. From the big things to the small, the shameful and prideful both, it all is intelligent. No matter how mundane, silly, or regrettable it might seem, nothing happens devoid of life’s intelligence. In fact, it is often the patterns in our lives that feel most limiting that turn out to be our developing gifts in disguise. The overthinking that drives you crazy might actually be wisdom trying to emerge. The way you give too much might be your heart learning how to love skillfully.
Let’s dive in!
Step 1
Instructions
Step 1: First, you’ll watch two short videos:
- One about connecting with what really matters to you right now
- One about the simple coin toss process (it’s actually pretty meditative)
Step 2: Then you’ll do the reading:
- Ask whatever question feels most alive for you
- Follow the coin process – six tosses, very simple
- Share your results with me in the form below 👇
Step 3: Then we’ll explore together:
- I’ll interpret your coin toss (they’re called hexagrams in the I Ching) and spend some time with what came through for you before we meet
- Book a time below 👇 and we’ll have a conversation about what’s emerging in the reading and how that meets you to navigate the way ahead (probably about an hour)
- After our conversation, I’ll send you something written to keep, plus some practices to support what emerged
