What are the precautions for divination?
People usually choose to engage in divination when they are confronted with unsolvable mysteries or something that needs to be resolved. Since they have problems, naturally they hope that the divination results can be of help. Therefore, an accurate and effective result is of utmost importance. Obtaining a divination result requires a process. At the beginning of this process, we need to understand the principles of divination first. Only by firmly remembering these principles can we avoid making mistakes and obtain more accurate results to assist those who seek divination. In fact, regardless of the divination method used, the following points should be observed or taken into account:

First, during divination, one should focus solely on the person or matter related to the divination and avoid any distracting thoughts. Even setting aside the reason of incurring bad luck for revealing the secrets of heaven, getting an accurate result can build a good reputation for future livelihood.

Second, do not perform divination after 11 p.m. Also, avoid conducting divination in an overly noisy environment, as it can affect your state of mind. Moreover, there are certain things that cannot be divined. For example, things about which you already have a definite idea in your mind, and also some improper or unethical matters.

Third, you should be energetic when divining. So, make sure you have a good sleep the night before. Avoid doing anything chaotic or inappropriate, and remember to wash your hands after using the toilet to prevent bad luck.

Finally, divination should only be carried out when you have doubts or confusions. And each divination should only be about one specific matter; do not ask for multiple things.
