Lunar New Year

I love the Lunar New Year! I save my resolutions, word of the year, and yearly mantra for the Lunar New Year (yes part of the reasoning is due to the fact that I’m just not ready yet January first).
Lunar New year or more commonly called the Chinese New Year is upon us. This day is marked in many areas as a day of large celebration and transition into a new year. Red is commonly worn and it is a day of celebration and food. Yes the date is forever changing because this holiday, like Easter is marked by the moon. The Lunar New Year is the day after the second new moon after the winter solstice.
The Lunar Calendar involves the 12 zodiac signs alternating every year, an element and an energy of yin or yang or male or female. This new year is the year of the metal rat. In Chinese culture, rats were seen as a sign of wealth and surplus. Rats are clever, quick thinkers; successful, but content with living a quiet and peaceful life. The element being metal brings an year of energy to be able to break through any money blockages and tap into abundance. The rat coming in a metal year can help you turn brass into gold. So hard work and focus on career and money making opportunities will pay off this year more than ever. The yang energy helping us tap into that “go mode” and make things happen fast.
Never a greater time to start a daily physical practice than this new year. If you want a daily way to tap into yoga don’t forget to join my yoga subscription service (click on the login tab above) for pennies on the dollar to studio costs as well as yoga that meets you in the comfort of your home or mobile device.
Oils I’m diffusing this new year include passion and green mandarin or peppermint and motivate. Anything to give me that pep in my step and that drive to keep pushing.
