    Hello,

     

    Yes got it!

     

    The book is actually a manual which gives precise information on meditation and breathing. It is very clear and you'll find loads of exercises throughout the different sections of the book.

     

    It is actually quite a rare book as it clearly describes techniques from Clanic Taoism. Invaluable knowledge if you train!

    Dear All,

     

    I am pleased to let you know that Singing Dragon is going to publish Serge Augier's first book in English!

     

    Shen Gong and Nei Dan in Da Xuan

    A Manual for Working with Mind, Emotion, and Internal Energy

     

    Serge Augier. With translations by Isis Augier.

     

    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.

     

    You can have a look at the table of content and pre-order the book here:

    As one of Serge's student I strongly recommend this book. Serge's teachings are very clear and offers a lot. It is by far the most precise information you can find in the West on Shen Gong and Nei Dan!

    Great documentary on Daoism with my teacher Serge Augier!

     

    I am impatient to see the second film!

    Film Two - Serge Augier - the Urban Daoist. These two 90 minute films go deep into the practices of the ancient Daxuan Daoist tradition - meditation, Qigong, Feng Shui, Daoist magic, internal alchemy, Daoist immortals and symbology, Ziranmen natural boxing, Bagua, xingyi, Taijiquan, self defence, old Daoist medicine and much more.

    Hi,

     

    Yes I studied with Serge in France. Serge is an amazing teacher!

     

    I am now based in Chicago downtown and am teaching in Lincoln Park area. However, it could be flexible so do not hesitate to contact me and I'm sure we can find a way to meet.

     

    As soon as I have regular students, Serge will visit us in Chicago which will be great!
