Chinese New Year is one of the big celebrations in China, however, many parts of East Asian countries also celebrate this big day and is often known as Lunar New Year. Traditionally, it is a 15-day celebration festival that lasts until the following new full moon with lots of loud noises, bright lights, fireworks, red clothes, and decorations to scare away the monsters for a better year. It is also the time of the year that families gather up to honor their ancestors with all kinds of food.

Seasons Greetings From Dr. Colton Oswald, Co-President
"As mid-September draws near, Earth makes its transition to Fall. The weather is cool, the air is crisp, and colorful leaves cover the ground. Every Fall, Nature gives us a big show of color, followed by a period of dryness and then release, as the trees let go of their leaves."
https://www.tcmworld.org/falls-gifts-and-natures-lessons/
Every Fall, Nature undergoes many changes to prepare for Winter dormancy. These changes are reflected in each of us. What can Nature teach us?
"When we allow our minds to be quiet and we give ourselves permission to do the same, we begin to see life in a whole new light. The Universe reveals itself to us as a beautifully wrapped gift."
https://www.tcmworld.org/words-of-wisdom-to-the-mind-that-is-still/
When we slow down and live in the moment, we see the message behind Taoist wisdom. "To the mind that is still, the whole Universe surrenders." -Lao Tzu
"It is easy to beat ourselves up about being indecisive, or to complain about others who won’t stick to a decision. Yet, as with anything compassion, for ourselves and others, is so important. "
https://upliftconnect.com/let-the-mind-decide-and-the-heart-guide/
When indecision comes knocking, this simple practice is my saviour.
"Over time we learn that our sense of self is not dependent on being right, on winning an argument. Allowing the other their space does not mean we are less. And you can get quick at it too, choosing to just let go rather than have to be right."
https://upliftconnect.com/the-art-of-honourable-disagreements/
Deepening our relationships through healthy argument.
"Let yourself be one of the God-mad,
faithful only to the Beauty you are."
https://upliftconnect.com/the-call/
I have heard it all my life...a voice calling a name.
"Whatever I create is connected to who I am spiritually. And who I am spiritually is the one who acts for justice and peace. This is my living faith. It has little to do with religion and does not require a church. It is a spiritual force that is active wherever I am."
https://upliftconnect.com/creating-living-faith/
What is the difference between religion and spirituality? Find out why having your own beliefs is vital for a happy existence.
"Drop your worries and your expectations. Let yourself be free so that you can become all that you are intended to be."
https://www.tcmworld.org/seeing-the-unseen/
We use our senses to experience many aspects of life. But how do we go beyond? How do we see the unseen?
