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 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 practice firmness of spirit and
flexibility in action in order to develop
harmony in my soul.
I practice moments of silence in order to
establish enduring calm in order to
advance with present mindedness in
everything I undertake.
I nourish myself with my inner strength
to become firm while staying humble in my
daily actions.
In union with another person I practice
active listening and right speech.
I wait for the appropriate moment to
exercise right action in space-time
reality.

I wait for the appropriate moment to

I master earthly energy. If the path
becomes dangerous in the darkness, I
stop in order to practice discernment.
