Path Layout

Path Layout #1

 

 

Difficulty: Easy

For the Path reading, one asks for suggestions how to behave properly to achieve a desired result. The Current column represents how the reader has been acting, and the Suggestedcolumn suggests how they should act to achieve a certain goal. The chart-like layout uses the standard three levels: Rational, Emotional, and External Stance (how one projects oneself outwardly). When comparing the Current and Suggested dominoes, the most important thing is to notice the differences between the two dominoes. It is these differences which hint at the behaviours that should be altered.

Domino #1 is the significator, the domino which should reflect the nature of the query and/or the desired outcome.

Domino #2 shows the way the reader is and has been thinking. Domino #7 suggests how to change the way one thinks to serve themselves better.

Domino #3 suggests the reader's emotional attitude. Though it may seem difficult to manipulate one's own emotions, it can be done if one puts their mind to it. For example, acting a certain way such as smiling intently for a few minutes will lead the emotions to follow. When a person tries this, as silly as the exercise seems, they find this to evoke the emotion of happiness. For this reading, one should try to make themselves feel the way that Domino #6 suggests.

External Stance means how one acts outwardly, how they hope others see them. Domino #4 is about how the reader has been acting, while #5 indicates how they should act outwardly, for other people's sake. It is the differences between these dominoes that hint at what behaviour patterns should be altered.

The Significator

One/Blank (DHI/OM)

You stand at the threshold of a new phase in life, with a blank canvas awaiting your decisions. You are being offered the opportunity to shape your future. New energies and potential are available if you remain open and receptive. This is a time when your choices matter more than ever. Your actions now will have a lasting impact, so choose wisely and be mindful of the direction you set. The future is yours to create.

 

 

 

 

Current Thoughts

Five/Three (TSA/PA): The Empty Mind

Scattering the Mind to Pieces

This domino suggests a time of scattered energies and wasted efforts. You may find yourself chasing fleeting thoughts and ideas that dissipate like paper in the wind. The lack of focus and clarity is hindering your ability to achieve success. During this period, it would be wise to resist external distractions and centre yourself through ritual. Perform a grounding or stabilising ritual to regain control of your thoughts and energy. Only by focusing your mental resources will you begin to find the path forward.

 

 

 

 

Suggested Thoughts

One/Six (DHI/AH): Manjushri Appears

The Increasing of Wisdom and Accomplishment of Excellence

The presence of this domino signifies a divine intervention or guidance. Manjushri, the revered deity of wisdom and clarity, is making his presence known to you. This powerful sign calls for introspection and a commitment to finishing unresolved tasks or projects. By addressing and closing the chapters you've left open, you will unlock new opportunities for growth and success. Meditating on or visualizing Manjushri's wisdom will help guide you towards the right path, bringing clarity and progress. Complete what you started, and the rewards will follow.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Current Emotions

Six/Five (AH/TSA): The White Umbrella of Good Fortune

Increasing the Power of Air

Steady and careful work will pay off in the long run. Focus your efforts on consistent, thoughtful actions, and you will see positive results. Avoid distraction and impulsiveness, as these will only scatter your mental energy. Travel and giving are favourable, especially when you make offerings to natural spirits such as ancestors or trees. Performing your spiritual practices in new or different locations will also amplify their effect, helping you to establish a deeper connection to the energies around you.

 

 

 

 

Suggested Emotions

Blank/Three (OM/PA)

This is a time for strengthening your spirit. Spiritual growth is favoured, and now is an ideal moment to deepen your inner understanding. The opportunities for spiritual advancement are rare and fleeting, so don't let this moment pass by unnoticed. Take the time to engage in practices that nourish your soul, whether it's meditation, prayer, or simply seeking peace and quiet for reflection. This is an important step in your spiritual journey.

 

 

 

 

Current External Stance

Four/Two (NA/RA): The Demon of the Heavenly Son

The Believers of the Deceiver Suffer

A bad omen of instability surrounds you, and obstacles are blocking your progress. There may be unseen forces or adversaries causing disruption, particularly through items you've acquired—such as a red or triangular object that might be holding negative energy. A person in the western direction may be contributing to these challenges. Be cautious of your environment and the people around you, as their intentions may not be aligned with your goals. Focus on clearing obstacles and protecting yourself spiritually.

 

 

 

 

Suggested External Stance

Blank/Five (OM/TSA)

This is a time to focus on strengthening your family relationships. Whether it's spending more time with loved ones or considering expanding your family, your family life will take precedence. This is a time for nurturing your connections and reinforcing the bonds that hold you together. Additionally, spiritual practices related to ancestors and family rituals will bring great benefits. Now is the time to build a solid foundation for your future, one rooted in love and family.
