I Ching Chapter 3 Greeting the Beginning with “Tun” - The Wisdom and Spiritual Guardianship of

bw

In the I Ching, Hexagram 3 is called “Tun” (屯), meaning “Difficulty at the Beginning.” It reflects those moments in life where we feel uncertain, lost, or burdened by chaos at the start of a new path—whether it’s a career, relationship, spiritual journey, or inner transformation.

“Heaven and Earth begin to take shape; all things begin to sprout.”
This phrase from the hexagram reveals the hidden power in struggle—it is not a failure, but a sacred beginning.

At [vesselofqi], we resonate with this message deeply. Our handcrafted Daoist talismans, bone-carved spiritual jewelry, and ritual amulets are created to support your journey through new beginnings.

Spiritual Meaning of “Tun” and How Our Products Align:

1. Protection Amid Uncertainty
When life feels unstable, spiritual protection becomes essential. Our Five Thunder Talisman and General Fei Guardian Amulet channel traditional Daoist energies to dispel chaos and anchor your spirit.

2. Cultivating Patience and Strength
Just like a seed underground, unseen growth happens in silence. Our Harmony Talisman supports mental clarity, patience, and emotional equilibrium during times of confusion.

3. Unlocking Destiny
You’re not meant to walk alone. Our Zi Wei Emperor Talisman aligns you with your celestial destiny, offering divine wisdom when you need direction.

Final Reflection:

Just as “Tun” teaches us to remain grounded through difficulty, so too does the ancient art of Daoist talismanic protection offer a spiritual armor for uncertain beginnings. Whether you are starting a new business, healing from emotional wounds, or embarking on a spiritual path, these symbols are more than tradition—they are transformation.

"Bone Instruments"

It started with a "bone tool"

An old bone knife inspired our first inspiration.
It came from a traveler who had followed the Taoist through the mountains and into the temple, offering sacrifices to the heavens and praying for blessings, and exorcising evil spirits. We did not regard it as a display in a museum, but as a real "spiritual" tool.
From then on, we began to explore the boundary between Taoist tools and modern wear: it can be an ornament or a belief; it can be a decoration or a "spirit" for protection.

We believe

The objects have spirits, wearing them is like practicing

In traditional Taoist culture, every instrument carries the connection between heaven, earth and man. From the Heavenly Gangs and Earthly Evils, the Five Elements and Eight Diagrams, to the Dragon Patterns of the Talismans and the Cinnabar Seals, each of our jewelry is designed according to the ancient spiritual meaning.
What you wear is not a piece of metal or wood, but a "resonance channel" between you and the aura of heaven and earth.

Incense burning

Every piece of jewelry is blessed

We cooperate with folk Taoist priests to hold blessing ceremonies during important solar terms. Incense burning, talismans sealing, and purification of utensils make each piece not just an "object" but an "instrument".
Some protect wealth, some calm the mind, some ward off evil spirits, and some help fortune. Each piece has a different "mission".

Who are we here for?

We are here for those who do not want to be swallowed by the trend and long for a sense of spiritual belonging.
You may be a white-collar worker walking in the jungle of steel and concrete, or you may be a practitioner studying Yi Li and numerology; you may not necessarily "believe in Taoism", but you care about "Qi" - this is the power we want to protect together.

Vessel of Qi is more than just a jewelry brand

We are a bridge - connecting ancient spiritual wisdom with contemporary self-identity.
We are a belief - not a religious framework, but the soul's desire for order, protection and clarity.
If you are also looking for your "vessel", then we are waiting for you here.
