Changing one’s relationship to digital devices can help bring clarity, increase happiness and reduce feelings of stress in one’s daily life. In this series we highlight digital resources used by Menla’s extended community that help them mindfully navigate the internet. This week we look at “Weekly I Ching,” a free audio and video podcast by Bobby Klein.
What is the I Ching?
The I Ching dates back to 3000 BC, to the reign of the emperor Fu Hsi. It is an oracle that charts the flow of yin and yang energies and a book of Taoist philosophy offering guidance as to proper conduct.
Rupert Sheldrake uses the term morphic resonance to describe this kind of phenomenon, whereby there is a feedback mechanism in which the field—our collective consciousness—and our individual consciousness resonate. The greater the vibration, the more we condition the field of unity consciousness and bring our shared values into form.
Weekly I Ching : Podcast and Videos
These weekly readings are a particularly powerful way to use the I Ching for our own and others’ benefit because by focusing our awareness on any one hexagram’s energy, we create a field of resonance that allows the meaning to emerge with even greater clarity for all of us.
The sixty-four hexagrams are all possibilities, archetypes, all circulating within our individual and collective being at any given time. The timing of the I Ching hexagram holds the key to our liberation from the belief in an inauthentic self and opens our path once again to experiencing our truth: union with the divine, Oneness.

“It’s such an amazing and spiritual location–I came back feeling rejuvenated and recharged… It was so very special knowing the place belongs to the Dalai Lama! I loved our room. My favorite things were that there was no TV in the room, the beds were so comfortable, and it was so quiet and relaxing there with the windows opened. The grounds were amazing…”

“Menla is indeed magical, a place out of time that is rich in presence. The vibrational quality of this sanctuary is palpable as well as the magnificent natural beauty. Healing, peaceful and luminous with Light, a pilgrimage to Menla evokes the proverbial Medicine Mountain, and yet it is so close to NYC. Our Ayurvedic massage and experience at Dewa Spa was transporting, regenerative and deeply nourishing. Looking forward to our next retreat here and sharing this treasure with friends.”

“Going to Menla is like dropping out of time. The physical beauty and stillness of the place is unique. The accommodations are just right – comfortable but not ostentatious. The food is amazing and clearly made with attention and love. Thank you!”
