Reviews

The study of the human mind became a science 200 years ago in the Occident and most of the theories contradict each other. Psychology is looking for unifying models, but it is still in progress and rarely fits with clinical reality. 4000 years ago, the Daxuan system developed a clear view of the mind and its functions, with a clinical and practical reality. This book is about this incredible system. -- Cyril Joannes, clinical psychologist, psychotherapist and teacher at Paris University, Paris XIII

It is a real skill to be able to present ancient teachings in a modern way without losing their essence; Serge Augier more than accomplishes this and gifts the world with a great introduction to a complete and authentic tradition. -- Damo Mitchell, author of The Four Dragons: Clearing the Meridians and Awakening the Spine in Nei Gong, Daoist Nei Gong: The Philosophical Art of Change and Heavenly Streams: Meridian Theory in Nei Gong
