The teachings are developed utilizing the guidance of the inner structure of the I Ching. This approach to practice he has named ‘I Ching Dao’From 1996 he has specialized on the emotional, mental and psychic obstacles encountered by western practitioners, giving emphasis to the need to raise the level of consciousness instead of orienting the practices to seeking short term powers.At present he resides in the Canary Islands, in Spain, from where he has formed a group of instructors on the different levels of the I Ching Dao program.
