Happy New Year!!
Sound familiar? Well this month we welcome the Year of the Tiger!! In many places, January 1 is starts the new year based on a calendar that follows the Earth’s movement around the sun. But the Chinese New Year is based on the moon cycles - the lunar calendar. Chinese New Year begins on a different day each year. 2022 is the Year of the Tiger and starts on February 1. Tigers tend to be independent and try doing things on their own. If they don't succeed, they try again!
This is a good practice for each of us when trying something new like meditation or being present in the moment (or for perfecting our practice). It takes some time to watch our thoughts and bring them back to the meditation or to what is happening in the moment. There is no failure here, just reprogramming what we focus our minds on. Practice resetting to the moment time after time. Let's all be tigers and keep trying to maintain that peaceful place within.
Another great practice is that of cultivating LOVE energy. We all radiate energy and that energy is both felt by others and attracts like energy. The word "love" has different meanings for each of us. But in the context of cultivating the Love Energy we mean developing that feeling of love that comes from the body. Think of the love felt inside the body when we see a baby or a small, cute animal or when overwhelmed with the beauty of nature. That's what the Energy of Love is. It is a very high, positive emotional energy (500 Hz) that others feel and that attracts more Love Energy.
Find the love within. Love yourself. Share the Love Energy with others.
Happy Valentine's Day!
Sending you Love & Light!
