Source & style
Still the mind and feel your own heart; sense the turning of the four seasons between heaven and earth; watch flowers, birds, fish and insects rise and fall; notice how intention, qi, spirit and body answer one another. Look afar and take from things; look near and take from your own body. The answer is here. — An Introduction to Classical Chinese Medicine
