Bibliography

Unfortunately, most of Karl Axel Linds writings and drawings were only distributed to his students as teaching material. These materials do not stand as independent work, but were tightly tied to his oral presentation of it. The only written sources for his teaching are the writings of people who were authorized by him to teach his system. These include Anna-Kaarina Lind,[3] Siv E Harestad[4] and Arve Fahlvik.[5]

Other known writings are in the Finnish language:
