Yijing with Bernard Kwan

The Yijing or Book of Changes, besides being a tool for divination, is one of the foundational texts of Chinese culture and thinking. Its underlying philosophy underpins numerous fields as diverse as Chinese medicine, Feng Shui, martial arts, Chinese painting and music. But it remains mysterious and impenetrable to many people due to its archaic and symbolic language.

This talk provides a brief introduction to the Yijing, its basic structure, methodology and wider cultural influence. Bernard Kwan will also demonstrate how the Yijing can be a tool for accessing your inner intuition for better decision making and as a framework for personal growth.
