Greetings! I don't think many would argue when I propose that the year of the dragon was.....challenging. Very challenging. And I really hoped this year's energies would be like dancing unicorns and partying mermaids. However, I'm afraid it's good...but...not quite that good.
On February 10 we entered the year of the water snake. And every year my good friend Beth Schermer flies to San Francisco to hear the breakdown of the year right from Liu Mings mouth (he is a Daoist priest and this lecture every year draws thousands of people.)
So when she returns we have many discussions and I bring you what I know so you can sit and think how you want to grow and change this year with the energy that is available to you.
I believe even more changed last year then you may be aware of. The explosive change was from that gale like force of the dragon energy we have been talking about. And while the dragon was explosive and moving the snake brings that movement that was external, internal.
First note:
Come within. Sit. Ask questions. And then go deeper and ask more questions.
Have you ever wanted to meditate and it keeps hitting the back burner? This is the year to make a practice and stick with it. Want to know how...I have a few you tube videos off my homepage...or if enough people ask I'll put on my introduction to meditation class...so please ask.
The important part is that the energy of the year supports you being still and coming inside, so this is the perfect year for the habit to take hold!
Second note:
Learn to manifest from the inside.
You think you have been doing that? Great! This is the year to refine your practice. You have no idea what I'm talking about? This is the year to learn to hone all your energy in one direction and then with precision call forth what you want.
Third note:
This is the year you can really tap into your divine spirituality.
The snake in folklore has always represented mysticism...and it's role this year cannot be denied. Perhaps in your lifetime (the next 60 years), this is the most powerful year to have a spiritual awakening. How do you do this...take note #1 very seriously...learn to come inside and hear what's not spoken. Come out of your head and into your heart. Develop your inner intuition.
Again, if I'm speaking mumbo-jumbo but it rings some kind of bell in you...I can help you move forward with all of this.
Fourth Note:
This one is hard for me. Let go. Yeah...this blows for me as well. Lots of stuff shifted and was created last year...that is what last year was for. But this year is about coming inside and letting go, and seeing what happens. Go with the flow. Follow what unfolds. Have I used enough vague sentiments to get the point across?
I don't know about you...but I feel like I have so many opportunities swarming around me and I don't have any idea how any of it is going to shake out. So what do I have to do? I have to slow down, and come inside and breathe and meditate. I have to follow what's offered but not try to create anything new. I have to laugh, a lot...because let's face it...there wasn't a lot of laughing last year.
Fifth Note:
Personal one and one relationships should be much simpler this year. I don't think that needs much explanation, but yeah! Last year was all about group dynamics, but since this year is about coming in...that group size shakes down dramatically!
Sixth note:
And perhaps most important of all...we have to act with kindness. Simple kindness. Holding the door for someone. Picking up trash if I come across it. Help an old lady across the street. Let someone merge in front of you on the freeway. The small stuff this year will go really really far.
The huge shifts that were created last year will continue to unfold this whole year. They may not come fully into being until horse year next year....but that should not be our concern...we just roll with it this year...remember?
Happy letting go, coming inside, being kind in simple ways and just rolling with it!

What's your Chinese Astrology Animal?
| |
 You have an exciting energy waiting for you this year!
It would take far too long for me to write each and every animal....but if you are interested in knowing some specifics about yourself email me with your animal and I'll copy my notes about what Liu Ming said and email them to you.
Please make sure if you are born between January 1-February 10 to check when Chinese New year started the year you were born. You guys are on the cusp so it's important to check that out.
I will say...unlike last year which was rough for more then half of the signs...every sign this year has a reprieve...some having more luck then others of course...but after summer....even those who have some chaos calm down a lot!
Let me know if you are interested. It's my birthday present to you!
Best to you and happy happy happy new year!

This is the year for Qi Gong or Tai Chi!
| |
 Exercise almost designed for a snake year.
Have you ever tried either of these beautiful forms? They are slow, and focused on breath and your inner qi and and heaven and earth and wind and fire...and no...not the band...
I must admit I've fallen off the wagon. I used to have such a beautifully devout practice...and I can feel the pull to get back into that sweet rhythm again.
Beautiful Example of a Tai Chi Form

What do I do?
| |
You know I have been nervous calling myself an Acupuncturist because I have had acupuncture, and that's not what I do.
Well, I got a call from a young woman that went something like this:
"I feel like there is all this energy around me just waiting for me to take it, but my chakras feel blocked. Is that something you can help me with?"
That might be the clearest I have ever heard what I do put into words!
So that's it...in a nutshell....I help you bring into the present everything you are waiting for, everything you desire...by clearing space for you to have it.
Now that it's written it seems so natural.
So...if you have always wanted to come in, but didn't know exactly what I could do...this little segment is for you!

Package Prices rising April 1...
| |
 If you want in at the current rate, make sure you come in before April 1.
I have had my introductory package price for about six months now and it's time to shift it just a smidge. Currently you are getting for the very fair price of $350 4 treatments...which is $150 off.
While I love being so generous, I'm going to shift my generosity and switch the packages to 4 for $400...which is still a savings of $100 off buying them singly.
I thank you for understanding and also thank you so much for choosing me as part of your healing team...when I know there are so many to choose from.
