POSTED UNDER Earth, Sun, Water

Chinese New Year (Horse)

Color of the day:  Rose
Incense of the day:  Vanilla
 
The wood horse is enthusiastic about new ways of doing things, and is exceptionally assiduous and lively. To align with this new wave of energy, create a simple altar with a wooden representation of a horse and some living bamboo in water. (Be sure to keep it out of direct sunlight and to keep the water fresh.) Light a stick of woodsy incense, or diffuse some woodsy essential oil (perhaps cedar, eucalyptus, or juniper).
Sit or stand comfortably near the altar with your spine straight, and feel rooted into the earth like a tree.
Say:

"Out with the old and in with the new,
I flow with the changes and stand for what's true.
Rooted deep and reaching wide,
I welcome this new cycle's tide."

Today and throughout the year, be alert to ways that you can streamline your routine and move toward your goals in efficient, focused, and satisfying ways.
