The Tao Oracle box set contains a deck of 64 hexagram cards with inspired and gorgeous visual images by Ma Deva Padma and the Zen I Ching book. Padma is a beloved Osho sannyasin artist who also painted the Osho Tarot deck.

The cards have key concepts for each hexagram and her creative use of icons to identify trigrams. This is a delightful, right-brain approach to learning the trigrams and hexagrams. Her Zen I Ching is an excellent version that benefits a student on the path of meditation.

With or without the benefit of Hua Ching Ni’s I Ching, the Tao Oracle provides an enchanting visual aid immensely useful in one’s deeper study of the Human Design chart.

Even a masterfully written I Ching like Hua-Ching Ni’s is based on the understanding of the complex interplay of solid, broken and changing lines, a daunting task for many.

 This book and CD by Annata Black, To Naturally Be, Without Interference, offers a shortcut to understanding the essence of the I Ching. The beautiful, illustrated book takes you straight to the core by provoking a visceral sense of the relationship between Yin and Yang. A clear and concise I Ching Key provides a welcome overview of all 64 hexagrams, a feature worth the book’s price by itself. To support the visual aspects, an audio CD narrated by Annata completes the package. Even if you haven’t been looking for an easy entry into the I Ching, this publication delivers unexpected insight.

Here’s what Annata says about it: “You are unchanging Truth, the still point at the center of life’s constant change. The Book of Changes and the Unchanging Truth, the I Ching as translated by Hua Ching Ni, is the source of this introductory course.

“The intent of the study is threefold: to understand fundamental elements and principles of the I Ching; to enter the Balanced Way through shifting attention from the constant oscillations of mental life to the rhythmic movement of your true nature; and to become a conscious expression of your life’s evolving potential.

“From the hexagrams of your Human Design chart, principles of the Balanced Way are unfolded ... your natural being revealed, without interference.”

"Children still remember something of the mystery. They have just come from the other world, they have not yet forgotten it completely. Sooner or later they will forget, but still the fragrance is around them. That's why all children look so beautiful, so graceful. Have you ever seen an ugly child? They start losing their grace the day they start losing their intelligence. They start losing their natural rhythm, their natural elegance and they start learning plastic behavior. They no longer laugh spontaneously, they no longer dance spontaneously. You have forced them into a cage, a straight-jacket. You have imprisoned them."  Osho
