Short Summary
FreeMountain over mountain — stillness doubled. The discipline of full, present non-motion.
You are being asked to stop. Not rest — stop. The hexagram is about the specific discipline of presence without motion, the kind of stillness that allows what is real to become visible. Most of what exhausts modern life is unnecessary movement.
Mountain upon mountain
the body becomes quiet;
the mind finds the ground.
