The Tao of Lifestyle: The Familial Way
The Way is familial not feudal. You realize how interdependent you are with all of Creation, offer your help whenever you can, and humbly ask for help when you need it. This is how the circle of loving kindness is sustained.
You must cultivate your relationship with (your unseen helpers). Sit quietly and ask them to join you in your inner sanctuary. Invite them in for tea. Ask for their assistance and support as you would your dear friends. Listen to them, let them inspire and delight you, and most of all… feel how much they love you.

Reclaim the wings of your imagination and ride the currents of feeling into your inner world. The sanctuary of your heart isn’t so much thought as felt into being.
Fill it with love, love, and more love!

Kiss the past and let it go. You are breathing new life into your heart and it is warming and brightening. You have opened the door and strewn petals across the threshold. You’ve lit candles in all the windows.
You are restoring your inner abode to its original splendor, and it is beginning to take shape.

Our friend C.G. asks:
“If I Am displaying a figurine of the Ram this year what should I do with the figurine of the horse?”
Why not save your horse figurine for the next time around? The wonderful Horse year comes around every 12 years. The next time it will be the Fire Horse, the most dramatic horse of all, in 2026. As the years go by, and you acquire an image or figurine for each zodiac animal, they may make a lovely little audience in the back of the shelf that displays each current year’s animal in the front. Or you could store them, respectfully, out of sight, to wait their turn again. It might become a family tradition to pull out each successive year’s animal token and enjoy seeing them again in their turn.

Each year there is a different animal energy in charge, there are two years of the same element (Wood, Water, Fire, Metal or Earth) the first of the two years of elements beings the Yang, which is more forceful and the second year is the more introspective Yin.
