I Ching in a changing world: 3,000 years of wisdom

Can a 3,000-year-old book still make sense in today’s world? In this episode of Wellness Curated, host Anshu Bahanda explores the fascinating world of the I Ching, also called the Book of Changes. Joining her are Erik Schön, author of The Art of Change, and Sandra Constantine, a Chinese metaphysics expert, who shares how this ancient text offers guidance for life’s ups and downs.

Erik explains how the I Ching’s wisdom helps us rethink the idea of change—not as something to fear but as a natural part of life. Sandra connects the dots between the I Ching and other Chinese traditions, showing how it provides both insights and direction for making decisions.

The conversation brings the I Ching to life with a story about a 19th-century Chinese artist, offering a glimpse into how its teachings can be used to make sense of life’s turning points. From starting new chapters to understanding the deeper “why” behind our choices, this episode is all about how old ideas can still feel fresh.
