Love Note from Anjie: The First Day of Spring

FEBRUARY 4, 2023 // love note from anjie

the first day of spring

It's 9°F right now in NYC. It's really cold. According to the lunisolar calendar that we used in Chinese astrology, today is the first day of spring! It may seem counterintuitive, but this highlights how qi is slow and not always “seen”. 

Today is also the 49th day ceremony for my friend's passing. This marks the end of her bardo as she is reincarnated. Springtime is a re-birth and new beginning.

What is being re-born for you today?


Coming soon:

At the Holistic Spaces Store:

Challenging Relationships

This time of year, I notice that many people get very fearful and binary about “is this a good year or a bad year for my zodiac animal”. I would encourage you to see beyond the conditioning of “good or bad”.

One thing I love about the Lunar New Year charms I make every year, is that we are reminded that our paths have more ease when we hold our best friends close to our hearts.

Love Note from Anjie: The Rabbit and the Moon

JANUARY 28, 2023 // love note from anjie

the rabbit and the moon

It's said that there is a rabbit that lives on the moon, pounding mochi, also known as tteok in Korean. These sticky rice cakes are one of my most favorite foods. In Asian folklore, there is a story of the Buddha who had manifested on earth as a starving beggar and asked Fox, Monkey, and Rabbit for food. Fox and Monkey procured some fruit and vegetables to share. However, the Rabbit could not find any food. So instead, the Rabbit built a fire and then threw themself on it so that the beggar could eat. The Buddha was so heartened by the selflessness, and with honor the Rabbit was reborn on the moon.

what are your cultural connections to the rabbit, 

and the lunar new year?


HONORING YOUR ANCESTORS:

Oranges

This week I was honored to attended a Hatsugama New Year's Tea Ceremony. If you didn't know, I'm a tea ceremony student. I learned that the offering of oranges is called “daidai” which offers the wish for friendship, joy , and abundance over many generation.

To this day, my family's most cherished gifts are boxes of fresh fruit meticulously wrapped and prepared for our enjoyment and sharing.
