Happy Lunar New Year of the Water Tiger!


Lunar New Year is the second New Moon after Winter Solstice, and the biggest festival in my Taiwanese-Chinese culture. Families and friends prepare and gather for weeks, and flock to temples to burn incense and offer food, prayers, and love to our ancestors. Here in the USA, I typically spend Lunar New Year on a mountaintop, offering my own prayers and love up, down, and all around.


๐ŸŒฟ How are you honoring the second new moon of 2022?

๐ŸŒฟ What cultural traditions do you observe at the start of the year?

๐ŸŒฟ How have your cultural traditions shifted & blossomed over time?

Reflect & Manifest


 As we welcome the contemplative yin season of Winter, we assess where we came from and where we are now, to consciously direct where we are going.

To support your year-end reflection & manifestation process, I integrated my favorite retrospective practices within a Chinese medicine Five Elements conceptual framework. 

To facilitate seasonal reflections throughout the year, I created a similar template for your quarterly reflection & manifestation process. Get both here:
REFLECT on the past year, reconnect with your Purpose, clarify your Visions, then MANIFEST your new year and each season with a clear Plan and aligned Actions. 

Enjoy! Happy holidays ❤️

Five Elements │ Wander & Wonder

 image

Happy November!


As the winter oceanic swell grows, we are baking more, sleeping earlier, and starting to wrap up the year. How are you celebrating and experiencing the changing seasons?


ESALEN 2022 We just returned from our Five Elements of Yoga & Chinese Medicine weeklong retreat at the gorgeous Esalen Institute along the Big Sur coastline. The cliffside hot springs, delicious foods, beautiful community, smiling Milky Way, and deep wisdom from the land, waters, and her people nourished me deeply. I hope you can join us at Esalen, next year!


WANDER & WONDER In one of my favorite Five Elements of Chinese Medicine classes, I shared Wandering & Wondering, a process that roots & nourishes my life, and I hope will inspire you, as well.


Download my Five Elements Wonderings class handout here:


WONDERINGS


I invite you to:

  • Open. Choose a question (or a couple). Focus on ONE element through the duration of your walk, or explore ALL elements in different sections of your walk.
  • Wander. Bring these questions, your journal, and writing/ drawing tools. Allow yourself to meander without direction through a landscape.
  • Wonder. Hold your question(s) lightly. Dialogue with the landscape of both your external and internal terrains.
  • Sit. Notice a place that calls to you. Silently sit and observe both your external and internal environments. Free-write observations & insights.
  • Thank this place before you continue wandering & wondering through other question(s), or close your journey.


May the gifts and changes of this season nourish you. May you open to wonder in moments both small and large. May you enjoy the loving embrace of your family, community, and our planet. Thank you for your presence on our Earth!
