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 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.
I control dangerous moments inwardly
and outwardly by remaining calm and
practising right action.
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 refine my mental mind in order to give birth to the spirit within my body which is like a house. Thus the inhabitants of my house, my life body, soul and my « I » become the guardians of the truth.
I preserve the light hidden within me during moments of adversity. I act with lucidity and modesty at the right moment.
I exercise right action and right
thinking. I observe worldly phenomena
with detachment while accomplishing
great projects for the good of humanity.
I exercise power with love and
discernment.
Perseverance on the path to truth guides
me to order in the universe.
I still my mental mind. My soul
becomes as chaste as a virgin to feel and
perceive the spirit.
