Love Note from Anjie: Ease Into the Unknown

ease into the unknown

It's supposed to snow today. Even if it doesn't, it's very cold. 

We live with many uncertainties, big and small. Just in the last two weeks I've observed three friends and their partners hospitalized. All unexpected circumstances. We can become easily de-railed by careless words, well-intentioned actions, or even the weather. Basically if something doesn't go as planned, it's so easy to grasp tighter on our preconceived definition of what we decided is what we want. Meditation practice constantly reminds me to create space for chaos. To be patience with my impatience. And the ease and relaxation that naturally arises from accepting the present moment exactly as it is. 

It's cold today, but how will I be present with it?

ON THE PODCAST:

Feng shui as self-love and self-care

I loved this podcast episode we recorded with three of our recent Mindful Design graduates. Feng shui is more than just moving your furniture around, it's an act of self-love and self-care

Do you have the patience to wait till your mud settles and the water is clear?

Can you remain unmoving till the right action arises by itself?

Love Note from Anjie: Rain Water

rain water

Tomorrow is the solar term in the Asian lunar-solar calendar that is called “Rain Water”. I see this as an invitation to contemplate the preciousness of the water element, which nourishes the wood element to bring forth healing and growth as we welcome spring soon.

from Rumi:

“You are not a drop in the ocean, you are the ocean in a drop”

invitations to deepen

I am invited to deepen this year, by hosting my first meditation and feng shui retreat. I would love to meet some of your in person and practice together. This is a retreat weekend to explore and deepen your understanding of feng shui as a meditation practice while held by the ancient wisdom of the forests of the Hudson Valley region of Upstate New York.

“Set amid a forest of tall cedars and white pines on the northern crest of the Shawangunk Mountains, Sky Lake is a contemplative center for Buddhist meditation, arts, and community.”
