The use of a forked twig, or so-called divining rod, in locating minerals, finding hidden treasure, or detecting criminals is a curious superstition that has been a subject of discussion since the middle of the sixteenth century and still has a strong hold on the popular mind, even in this country, as is shown by the large number of inquiries received each year by the United States Geological Survey as to its efficacy, especially for locating underground water, and the persistent demands that it be made a subject of investigation by the Survey. The bibliography shows that a truly astonishing number of books and pamphlets have been written on the subject. The purpose of the present brief paper is not to add another contribution to this enormous volume of uncanny literature but merely to furnish a reply to the numerous inquiries that are continually being received from all parts of the country. The outline of the history of the subject presented in the following pages will probably enable most honest inquirers to appreciate the practical uselessness of "water witching" and other applications of the divining rod, but those who wish to delve further into the mysteries of the subject are referred to the literature cited in the bibliography, in which they will find reports in painful detail of exhaustive investigations and pseudo-investigations of every phase of the subject and every imaginable explanation of the supposed phenomena.

Deborah Leigh has intuitively read ordinary playing cards professionally for the last 20 years. She learned about Personal Prophesy and how to apply its principles to achieve a happier, more satisfying life from her grandmother who handed the fundamentals down to her two years before her death.

Aside from her grandmother's revolutionary teachings, Deborah hasn't been able to find information on this particular method of perceiving the future to attain genuine love, success and happiness through ordinary playing cards--anywhere.

While others might consider themselves "gifted"; Deborah insists she is not. She merely possesses an exceptionally well-developed intuitive sense focused through playing cards. A skill, she believes, anyone is capable of developing for themselves to bring true empowerment to their lives.

Over the years, Deborah has taught others around the world to read playing cards as expertly as she does. They are faithful, devoted followers of Personal Prophesy to this day.

- Reveals the close relationship between the eight basic postures of T'ai Chi and the hexagrams of the I Ching.
- As handed down in the teachings of the Yellow Emperor and Chang San-Feng.
- Explains the physical and spiritual benefits that result from the practice of the Before Heaven T'ai Chi form.
- An essential reference book for any serious student of T'ai Chi and the I Ching.
T'ai Chi is a physical expression of Taoist thought--a philosophy in motion. The relationship between the I Ching, Taoist philosophy, and T'ai Chi is well established in many of the classical texts and teachings handed down by the Yellow Emperor and Chang San-Feng, yet it has essentially remained a mystery in the West. Stuart Alve Olson, a longtime student of renowned T'ai Chi Ch'uan Master T. T. Liang, shows how the hexagrams of the I Ching relate to the eight basic postures of T'ai Chi, and how together they comprise the orderly sequence of the postures in the Before Heaven T'ai Chi form. The practice of this form initiates a process of internal alchemy that allows for the stimulation and accumulation of chi through the major energy systems of the body. Physically, this process restores youthful flexibility. Spiritually, it frees the mind to roam the sublime Tao.
Because the Before Heaven sequence of postures is the foundation of all T'ai Chi forms, this book provides valuable advice for all practitioners, regardless of the style they practice or the depth of their experience. An essential reference book for any serious student of Taoism, "T'ai Chi According to the I Ching" is an invaluable guide to how even the most esoteric aspects of Chinese philosophy are firmly rooted in a physical practice.
