Good Morning!
This is the beginning of the new lunar calendar. In celebration of
the Chinese New Year, I will be discussing the many wonderful
contributions the Asian cultures have given the world in relation to
alternative medicine.
Celebrating Chinese New Year: The Year of the Rabbit
Chinese New Year starts with the New Moon on the first day of the new
year and ends on the full moon 15 days later. The 15th day of the new
year is called the Lantern Festival, which is celebrated at night
with lantern displays and children carrying lanterns in a parade.
Prior to New Year's Day, Chinese families decorate their living rooms
with vases of pretty blossoms, platters of oranges and tangerines and
a candy tray with eight varieties of dried sweet fruit. On walls and
doors are poetic couplets, happy wishes written on red paper. These
messages sound better than the typical fortune cookie messages.
The Year of the Rabbit - begins on February 3, 2011
The lunar calendar has a sixty year cycle. In Chinese Astrology, the
five basic elements of Metal, Water, Wood, Fire and Earth, which make
up all matter, are combined with the twelve animal signs of Rat, Ox,
Tiger, Rabbit, Dragon, Snake, Horse, Lamb, Monkey, Rooster, Dog and
Pig to form the sixty year cycle. One's Chinese horoscope is based on
which lunar year in this sixty year cycle one was born.
The Rabbit
Rabbits are affectionate, co-operative and pleasant, with lots of friends. But they can get too sentimental and seem superficial. Ideal careers areas include law, diplomacy or the stage. They are very ambitious. They are the kind of that people like to be around. Affectionate, obliging, always pleasant. They have a tendency, though, to get too sentimental and seem superficial. They would make good gamblers because They have the uncanny gift of choosing the right numbers. Being cautious and conservative, they are successful in business. Lucky Numbers: 1, 3, 5, 9, 15, 19 and 35

Crystals In Feng Shui
Crystals symbolize the notion of looking beyond the material world.
They can work in ANY area of the Bagua based on their colors and
energetic properties. Put the natural energy of earth's treasures to
work for you. Make changes in your life with these precious stones.
Crystals work especially well in areas, which require the metal
element such as the West and Northwest sections of your bagua map.
Here are just a few of my favorites:
Quartz is most often utilized in Feng Shui. Probably the most
versatile multipurpose healing stone. Easy to cleanse, store
info/energy in, program or amplify energy and healing with. Can both
draw and send energy. Powerful clear ones open Brow, Crown, and
Transpersonal Chakra for meditation, sending/receiving guidance.
Stimulates natural crystals in body tissues and fluids to resonate at
new healing frequency. See also many other stone forms of quartz.
(Amethyst, Tiger's Eye...) Yin or Androgynous. Works with all
meridian points and master gland for balancing, cleansing and
healing. Used to amplify both body energy and thought. Natural
tendency for Quartz is for harmony and is considered the "stone of
power". Quartz can be used to facilitate both speaking and receiving
information from the spiritual world, masters, teachers and healers.
Stimulates positive thought and healing.
Clear Quartz is thought to amplify both body energy and thoughts. It
can assist in the creation of power, clarity of thinking, meditation,
cleansing, clearing the aura, spiritual development and healing.
Quartz Points are considered the "stone of power"
Swarovski Crystal is magnificent faceted crystal which will fill your
any room with rainbows! Austrian crystals are one of the principal
objects used to clear energy blockages in the ancient Chinese art of
placement. Place in window or an area where light will hit and
refract into beautiful rainbows!
