談起《易經》，也許不少人會想起占卜算命，但其實《易經》乃中國經典，包含哲學、醫學、自然科學、社會、藝術等思想、甚至人生哲理。六十四個卦象，沒有絕對的吉凶，說的是變易的根本，人與人之間，環境是不斷變化。或許做人處事不用過於執着，須懂得換個角度，在不同時間及地點會有不同的個人心態及情況，正是變幻才是永恆。
當中最後的第六十四卦是「未濟卦」，據說是指水火不濟，冷熱不調，故未濟也。此卦警世意味濃，提示做人做事皆要小心謹慎。做事在此階段雖未成，但我們也應享受當中的過程，明白尚有改變的可能，所謂希望在明天。我們日常生活當中，未成或不如意之事，十常八九，只要盡力而為，抱著希望，便可坦然面對。
《易經》集古人智慧，博大精深。而這本《易圖思》靜觀著色畫冊正好以另一種簡易靜觀方法讓大家在填色塗鴉之餘，嘗試領悟箇中道理，同時舒緩日常情緒及壓力。

Mind Changing – The philosophy of I Ching in modern life
Mr. Bernard Chan, GBS,JP
Chairman of the Hong Kong Council of Social Service (HKCSS)
When talking about the I Ching (Book of Changes), many people may relate it to fortune telling, but in fact, I Ching is a Chinese classic, a literature with fundamental principles covering many disciplines such as medicine, cosmology, natural science, social science, art and even life philosophy. Sixty-four hexagrams have no absolute good or bad, and they explain the fundamentals of change, in both environmental and social contexts. Maybe you need not be too fixed in your ideas, one is recommended to be open and change your perspective whenever is necessary. There are different personal attitudes and situations in respective to different times and place. It is time to change.
The last hexagram 64 “Before Completion”. It is said that the water and fire are not good being put together, as heat and cold cannot be adjusted. This is a stern warning, suggesting that people should be careful when acting. Although things have not been done at this stage, we should enjoy the process and understand the possibility of change. The so-called Hope is under that silver lining. Things in life do not always turn out the way we wish, we can overcome negativities as long as we try our best, with hope.
The Book of Changes covers wisdom of the ancient sages; a profound yet valuable classics. This “易圖思 mInd CHangING” mindfulness coloring book introduced a simple coloring as a mindful practice and learn those wisdoms at the same time. We are to understand philosophical advice about how to face different changes we encounter in our daily life.
