Happy Chinese New Year (Gong Hay Fat Choy!). Today marks the first day of a two week celebration to invite the energy of the Water Dragon. This year we are welcoming the magical, mystical, uber-powerful Dragon. Many are grateful for the new beginnings associated with the charming Dragon. The Water Dragon is associated with the Wood element and his essence element (Wood) will be nourished and fed by the Water of this year. The Dragon loves to be near water (even inside of your tabletop fountain, if you've purchased a statue for the year's symbol). It is best to keep the dragon at eye level or below...you don't want to be symbolically staring into the fiery eyes of an angry Dragon! We want the Dragon energy to be supportive of each of us...we want him doing battle on our behalf, edging our goals closer to realization.
(my newly purchased Dragon for 2012)
I know many people have felt an energy of lack or struggle, of trudging uphill and feeling worn out. Fortunately, the Water Dragon brings great gifts to 2012: positive transformation, innovative ideas, increased wealth and opportunities, the ability to connect socially (social media will be even bigger this year), the will to manifest our long held desires. Be especially careful with your thoughts this year. The Dragon amplifies the power of connection, coincidences and synchronicities.
Some simple tips to harness the energy of the Dragon:
-buy a new welcome mat to symbolically "roll out the red carpet" & welcome a fresh start
-buy 3 or 9 new healthy, green plants (Wood element) to add health and vitality to your home
-look at your front door/entry with objective eyes- remove anything broken, cracked, dirty, unused or unloved. Clean like the Queen is coming. Wash the door and handles. Make sure the doorbell works.
-replace any burnt out light bulbs (inside or out). Burnt light bulbs relate to adrenal fatigue, overwhelm, poor decisions and an inability to see the brighter side of life.
-perform a good deed or unexpected kindness.
-buy a new purse or wallet-- red is especially powerful for women
-pay down or pay off a debt to intentionally move towards financial freedom
-connect with an old friend or anyone who you may have lost touch with, but think fondly of
-wear green (Wood element) if you are a woman; blue dress shirts are great for men (Water).
-the Dragon loves children (think Puff the Magic Dragon). Today I handed out 27 red envelopes and some sweet treats to my son's kindergarten class:
The five and six year old kids were brimming with smiles and curiosity as they came to me and tried to say, "Gong Hay Fat Choy" before I gave them their little gifts. If you can remember to be playful, be inquisitive and take baby steps in the direction of your dreams, the Water Dragon is ready to help you SOAR to new heights!!!
