The I CHING: As Seen Through Collages

The I CHING: As Seen Through Collages
by Krystyna Laycraft

In the book “The I Ching as Seen Through Collages,” I present the series of collages, which depict the eight trigrams and the sixty-four hexagrams of the I Ching.

The I Ching is the oldest and most significant Chinese classic. It is based on observations of nature and human life.  The central theme is the continuous change and transformation underlying all existence, and the fundamental building blocks are the ancient concepts of Yang and Yin.

Despite being created in ancient times, the I Ching is fully applicable to the present times. It is like a wise mentor who offers directions and answers to many questions regarding our issues.

Through a richness of symbols, the I Ching helps us find how to live a harmonious and meaningful life, how to develop and maintain our inner strength, how vital the moments of silence and concentration are, and many more.

Uncovering: The Theory of Positive Disintegration

Uncovering: The Theory of Positive Disintegration
by Krystyna Laycraft

This book was created to celebrate the 10th anniversary of Laycraft’s work on Dabrowski’s theory. Laycraft was exploring Dabrowski’s idea through the prism of her knowledge as a physicist, specializing in complexity science. Dabrowski stresses the importance of “emotional turbulence” in the process of transition from the lower level to the higher levels of mental life, which complies with the core ideas of chaos theory where sensitivity, instability and unpredictability are an inherent part of development. Through the perspective of complexity science, Laycraft tried to uncover some deep secrets of Dabrowski’s theory and bring further understanding of human development.

Acceptance: The Key to a Meaningful Life

Acceptance: The Key to a Meaningful Life
by Krystyna Laycraft and Bogusia Gierus

The book, “Acceptance: The Key to a Meaningful Life” is a mother- daughter cooperation, which gave Krystyna Laycraft and Bogusia Gierus a lot of joy and satisfaction. In this book, they show that acceptance is not only an attitude to a specific situation in which we find ourselves, but also, an outlook toward our lives. Acceptance, when merged with other emotions, creates emotional patterns, such as resourcefulness, curiosity, friendliness, love, and mindfulness, which make our lives rich and meaningful.
