The Tao of Lifestyle: The Familial Way

Posted by on Apr 9, 2015 in Inspiration, The Tao of Lifestyle, Three Sisters | Comments Off on 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.

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.

Feng Shui Folly: Ram On

Posted by on Mar 13, 2015 in Feng Shui Folly, Inspiration, Q & A | Comments Off on Feng Shui Folly: Ram On

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.

If you do not wish to keep the figurines/images of past years’ animals, you can also consider giving them as birthday gifts to family and friends whose birth year they represent.  Print out a description of the animal’s characteristics on some lovely paper, and include this with the animal totem for a complete gift.  Theodora Lau’s The Handbook of Chinese Horoscopes has very detailed chapters on each animal, and which years they represent, if you wish to research further.  Asian import stores also have nice cards of each animal, with their descriptions, to give as birthday cards.
