Xi Kăn: repeated Kăn. Kănkăn is the sound of beating a drum, chopping wood or lamenting. KănKăn is the booming sound of danger, caused by and causing fear, but Kăn is also the teacher who tells you how to overcome it and how to protect yourself and others. Danger and difficulties build a strong and wise character. KănKăn is also the skill and routine of Olympic champions or great musicians. It is the rhythm of your heart when it is excited. Its rhythm asks of you to dance along, to live life to the fullest, aware of every emotion. Kan repeated is water streaming on and on, both renewing itself and continuing its path.

About the 3 lines of the trigrams and the helpers:
Each line, active or at rest, summons one of the 8 trigrams as a Helper. For an activated line: telling you what you need - or about a problem area or something to avoid.
For a stationary line: this is what you already have or do or what you don't need. Often we just need a reminder of our abilities. Or it could be what you wish or fear - but will not happen.
Active lines are the helpers to change things, they listen to intentions, which can come from you, surroundings, or fate. Stationary helpers are part of the core meaning, they are your soul talking, but they also see the impossibilities or what is lacking at the moment. They reinforce the overall power of a reading.
