I perfect myself by uniting my vitality, energy, and spirit.
The reunion with the heavenly principle demands rectitude and sacrifice.
I studied the I-Ching for a year, from January 2006 to December 2006. Almost every day, I immersed myself in the great wisdom, inherited from three thousand years of Chinese cultural history, contained in the I-Ching.
I then painted for seven months, from January 2007 to July 2007. Painting became a tool to better grasp the essence of each hexagram. The I-Ching is so deep that as I continued reading and meditating, I felt as if I could understand less and less. Yet there were moments of grace during which I could feel my heart resonating with the mystery of his teaching. The I Ching is like a living being. I walked for a few months with this being. I share here the fruit of our relationship. The affirmations were written by me.

I perfect myself by uniting my vitality, energy, and spirit.
The reunion with the heavenly principle demands rectitude and sacrifice.
I practice firmness of spirit and
flexibility in action in order to develop
harmony in my soul.
Yin and yang energies are out of balance. I exercise vigilance in order not to use the light in an arbitrary and abusive way.
I receive abundance by practicing balance between clear thinking and right action.
I nourish myself with cosmic force. I
liberate myself from negative
conditioning in order to integrate the
essential in life on earth.
I purify my heart in order to develop
sincerity and thus remain faithful to the
path of the good, beautiful and true.
I preserve the light hidden within me during moments of adversity. I act with lucidity and modesty at the right moment.
I cultivate virtue while continuing to
help others to progress. But I do not
teach others until I have attained the
Tao myself. I prepare myself to become a
"guardian of the well".
I travel from the depths of the earth towards the light. Each step is a blessing for I perfect myself in helping others.
I wait for the appropriate moment to
exercise right action in space-time
reality.
I advance towards the light of the spirit. Sincerity and spirit clarity guide me to supreme goodness.
I am the guardian of my inner fire which
leads me to illumination.
I participated for three years in the Chemins d'Art association.
The Chemins d'Art association defines itself as a promotional tool at the service of artists. The association takes care of the communication of events, organizes quality exhibitions and shows, offers personalized workshop visits and private home sales.
I work to overcome the ignorance of the
ego in order to develop generosity.
I master earthly energy. If the path
becomes dangerous in the darkness, I
stop in order to practice discernment.
I remain attentive to my thoughts and
feelings. I distinguish between the essential
and the insignificant in order to act
appropriately for the needs of the present. I
study all things deeply to understand the
principle of life.
I remain humble and simple. It is the
path of docile progress in accordance with
the eternal laws.
I nourish myself with positive energy at
the right moment with vivacity to free
myself from negative energy. Thus I am
able to act freely according to my will and
not according to negative conditioning.
The beauty of the soul : I cultivate my
secret garden.
I search for the right measure in all
things.
I avoid disorder and haste in my life. I
neither hurry nor am I lazy. I act
accordingly no matter what trials I may
go through. Thus I progress harmoniously.
I separate myself from my discriminating consciousness in order to sublimate the spirit. I am serene and await the right moment to free myself from false yin such as coveting riches.
When yin and yang energies are out of balance, I empty myself in order to transcend my desires and emotions and unite heaven and earth.
I progress without haste upon the path of
truth. I renounce rapid success if the
order of progress is not appropriate.
I must remain vigilant concerning my own
desires. The yin and yang energies are out
of balance. I free myself from this
blockage in order to advance.

I receive abundance by practising
balance between clear thinking and right

illusion so that I can incarnate cosmic
wisdom on earth.
I control my inner life in order to act
