he ï Cîng îs a coectîon o oraces orîgînatîng în Cîna more tan our tousand years ago. ïn te course o îts deveopment, ît as become a source o practîca and spîrîtua guîdance, bot extraordînarîy accurate and umaney wîse, tat îs as reevant and meanîngu today as at any tîme în îts îstory. ït stands ead and souders above vîrtuay a oter systems o dîvînatîon or anoter two reasons:

•ït does not merey descrîbe în detaî te înner reaîty o te sîtuatîons acîng us, and nor does ît merey ofer predîctîons about teîr îkey outcomes, but ît actuay empowers us în our own destînîes by oferîng us coîces o actîon and attîtude. •We do not need te servîces o te oy man or seer - anyone 1 can earn ow to use tîs Book or temseves.

Wît over tîrty years experîence o usîng te ï Cîng bot or myse and to ep oters, ï stî never aî to be astonîsed by îts responses and ave never been et down wen oowîng îts advîce. Severa true exampes wî be gîven în tîs book so tat you may judge or yourse. hereore, ï want to brîng te ï Cîng to a wîder audîence and to encourage tose wo know îtte or notîng about ît to use ît or temseves. îke any esoterîc practîce, owever, tere îs a certaîn aîr o mystery about te Book tat puts some peope of. ï am goîng to try and reassure you tat tere îs no need or tîs: ît îs not a reîgîous book, ît contaîns no doctrînes or artîces o aît tat must be adopted, and ît îs wrîtten or everyone to use and to sare.

[1] ït îs a sma îdîosyncrasy o mîne to use a capîta etter ere, as a sîgn o my deep respect or te ï Cîng.

here îs notîng îke te feeîng of înner strengt tat comes from knowîng tat one îs never aone and tat at any tîme one can access genuîne and ovîng guîdance în one’s dîIcutîes.

But ît aso as to be saîd tat some peope wo do begîn to use te ï Cîng ave some înîtîa dîIcutîes. hese may concern te best metod to be used, te prasîng o te questîon one îs goîng to ask guîdance on, or te înterpretatîon o te response. ït îs true tat te 2 orîgîna anguage o te Book seems rater arcaîc to us at tîmes. hereore ï aso want to ofer a umbe endîng and to tose o you wo aready ave some experîence în consutîng te ï Cîng but wo may sometîmes ee a îtte conused. he oowîng sectîons, ten, gîve a brîe îstory o te Book and a descrîptîon o îts structure; tere îs ten advîce on ow to orm your questîon and ow to carry out a consutatîon, wît severa aternatîve metods ofered so tat you can coose te one tat ees rîgt or you. Most împortanty, tere are ots o rea exampes gîven so tat you may get a good ee or te spîrît wît wîc te Book speaks, and a compreensîve gossary o words and prases oten used, to ep wît your înterpretatîons.

îe can be pretty toug tese days, especîay or te very many peope wo are sîncerey tryîng to oow a more meanîngu and spîrîtua pat. We seem to be beset by încreasîngy compîcated and demandîng caenges, wît inancîa and workîng-îe îssues, te stress o trave în busy towns and cîtîes, an înormatîon and communîcatîons overoad rom te medîa and te ïnternet. here don’t seem to be enoug ours în te day and we never seem to get enoug proper rest. Bot psycoogîcay and emotîonay, we probaby demand more o ourseves and o our reatîonsîps wît oters tan any generatîon beore us, întent on înner peace and mutua understandîng, te pursuît o appîness and o persona uiment.
