Price: £19.99
The teaching and practices of the ancient Daoist tradition of Da Xuan have been kept secret for generations. In this ground-breaking book, Serge Augier, the current inheritor of the Da Xuan system, presents this unique approach to Daoism and reveals the basic principles and theory behind the practice of Da Xuan.
Weaving a masterful presentation of both astonishing depth and refreshing simplicity, Serge Augier covers the Daoist practices for developing mind, emotions and internal energy and provides specific exercises for cultivating and transforming the Jing (body energy), Qi (life force) and Shen (mind or spirit) on the path to enlightenment. He explains theory and practice in clear, easy-to-understand terms and explores the deeper reaches of Daoist internal alchemy in a way that gives access to practitioners of all levels to the necessary knowledge.

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.
With my grasp of the French language being rather poor I was very happy to see that Singing Dragon had published Serge Augier's first book on the Da Xuan tradition in English. 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.
