Has anyone been rocked by this year change? The lunar Chinese New Year began last week on January 3rd, and the start of spring and solar Chinese New Year is today, February 3rd. A lot of strong energy coming in that has really brought us all to our knees. An amazing scholar and teacher, Master Wu, just sent this update for the spring and change into this Ding You Year. It's gonna be a bumpy ride! "DingYou - Challenges Ahead From a cosmological perspective, the DingYou year will be an uneasy and challenging year on many levels, with much of the world experiencing unseasonal climate conditions. Given the stormy global political landscape lately, I am sure that this news comes as no big surprise. The current state of affairs has helped me broaden my understanding of the Daoist concept of TianRenHeYi天人合一 , the union of human beings and Nature. Perhaps the ways of humans and nature are mirrors of each other more than we care to believe? Conflicts between Fire and Metal There are inherent conflicts between Ding Fire and You Metal that will lead many of us experience heart-break and grief this year. In your clinical practice, expect to see more people suffering from liver, heart, lung, and/or GI problems. Early Spring - Cold Damp In the early spring this year, we will not experience many warm days. Instead, Cold and Damp energies will dominate until approximately March 20th, 2017. These energies will prove difficult for those who have a weak digestive tract, weak lung function and/or edema. Late Spring - Fire Energy Takes Over After March 20th, Fire energy will suddenly take charge. Temperatures will jump high very quickly. This sudden change in temperature may cause big climate disasters affecting humans, other animals, and many forms of plant life. In addition, a beastly strain of influenza may appear during the time period of March 20 - May 20. Protecting Yourself To protect yourself this spring season, please be sure to cultivate your Yang Qi and eat healthy!" #thelightclinic #dingyou #yearofthefirerooster #seasonalchanges (at Frankfort, Kentucky)
