The Year of the Sheep arrives February 19, 2015 and lasts until February 6, 2016.

The year of the Wood Horse has been a joyful, eventful year for many of us, but also unsettling and full of sudden changes to the rest of us. Here’s some good news: the year of the Wood Sheep, which starts on February 4, 2015 in the Chinese Solar Calendar (but is celebrated around the world on February 19 in the Lunar Calendar) will be a much gentler, less dramatic year. With lovely Yin Wood as the year’s ruling element, expect the mood to be more tolerant and open-minded. Read the full article on DoYouYoga.com

For most people in the Western universe, in fact most people in the world, almost all of the energy is located either in the first, second, or third chakras. http://www.ramdass.org/chakras-in-the-body-2/

We write for the same reason that we walk, talk, climb mountains or swim the oceans — because we can. We have some impulse within us that makes us want to explain ourselves to other human beings. That’s why we paint, that’s why we dare to love someone- because we have the impulse to explain who we are. Not just how tall we are, or thin… but who we are internally… perhaps even spiritually. There’s something, which impels us to show our inner-souls. The more courageous we are, the more we succeed in explaining what we know.

Maya Angelou on why we write. Also see Joan Didion and George Orwell on the same. (via explore-blog)

How’s the year of the Horse going for you? 

Hope the year’s been full of ROMANCE, as the Horse is one of the four “Peach Blossoms” in Chinese Astrology! Take advantage of these romantic stars, especially if you were born in the years of the Snake, Ox, and Rooster.

It’s also a year where changes happen swiftly. Stay grounded so you can grab onto opportunities that come. Focus your energy on your intention and watch your dreams manifest!

The Beauty Way, a Navajo Chant

Places are just like people. Certain places touch our spirit and soul more than other places.  We travel to these places to heal.

Whatever you throw up above you comes down. Every intention you’re throwing into the universe, it will find you. It’s the “golden rule” in the west and “karma” in the east. Give to the world what you want to receive from the world, because you will receive that.

"Nature has a way of guiding us into a more natural way of healing. We constantly try to heal ourselves with outside sources. Nature can give us all we need. When we need some peace of mind, detach from the Internet. Get away from the concrete. Put our feet into the soil. Swim into a natural body of water. There’s a natural healing element that happens through nature that’s clearly related to the chakras." ~ yoga teacher David Lurey

The world will not end on 12-21-12. Instead, it will just be the beginning of a great shift. 

A profound experience in the Yucatan led me to believe that this Great Shift of 2012 is about respecting nature, as nature teaches us reverence for life, humanity, and our existence.
