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.

“I spent the week in a yoga and meditation retreat. What a beautiful place! High in the Catskills mountains, where you can see the stars at night, and the trees are as high as the sky. The accommodations aren’t luxury, but they were perfect. Everybody is so kind and nice. We got to practice different kinds of yoga, and went to a couple of hikes. I felt happy and relaxed. They also have an amazing spa. How have I never heard of this place before? Now I can not wait to go again!”

“The food was divine! I’m not a vegetarian and will say the meat was not missed while here. I thoroughly enjoyed my stay…. The staff was warm and courteous. Space very conducive for retreat. Great common spaces for community and plenty of space for solitude. Will return again.”
George Charlton
“Menla is so breathtakingly gorgeous, situated on an indigenous sacred land where its magnetic field is very strong… I have so many beautiful photos of the campus from my hikes at dawn on the property, mostly photos capturing the sunrise and the light rays shimmering iridescently on various aspects of nature. I took almost a thousand photos in my short stay there! Truly breathtaking! Even capturing the miracle of having a doe and her fawns surrounding me just several feet away from me!”
