New Chinese year of the DRAGON

The year of the Dragon started yesterday and I can feel it in my bones.

The dragon holds a special significance in Chinese culture and mythology, symbolizing power, strength, and good luck. People born in the Year of the Dragon are believed to inherit some of these traits, making them charismatic, ambitious, and natural leaders. Dragons are also associated with intelligence, creativity, and success, making the Year of the Dragon an auspicious time for new beginnings, ventures, and endeavors.

My boss sold the company I work for and we got new owners. This sparked a new beginning feeling. I am staying for now at least but I am so ready to move forward into something that really awakens my skills and my natural power.

I once met a man in Portugal who tried to teach me about the energies that dragons holds. I think I got an update during the last two days. So much informations poured in over me in my meditations. I can´t share exactly what I learnt because in my life I am more eager to share then to know the knowledge. So I am going to sit on this new layer of my self and write it down in my journal. Until I can be the knowledge that I got.

Dragons hold a prominent place in mythology and folklore across cultures around the world, but perhaps nowhere are they as revered and deeply ingrained in tradition as in Chinese mythology. In Chinese culture, dragons are revered creatures symbolizing power, strength, wisdom, and good fortune. Here are some key aspects of dragon mythology in Chinese tradition:

1. Divine Beings: In Chinese mythology, dragons are considered divine beings associated with water, rainfall, and celestial forces. They are believed to have control over the weather and are often associated with rain, thunderstorms, and water bodies such as rivers, lakes, and oceans.

2. Symbol of Imperial Power: Historically, the dragon has been a symbol of imperial power and the emperor's authority in China. It was believed that the emperor was descended from dragons and possessed dragon-like qualities such as wisdom, strength, and nobility. Dragon motifs were often used in imperial regalia, palaces, and ceremonial robes to signify the emperor's divine right to rule.

3. Cosmic Guardians: Dragons are seen as cosmic guardians and protectors of the natural world. They are believed to dwell in the heavens, guarding the celestial realm and maintaining the balance of cosmic forces. Dragons are also associated with the four cardinal directions—north, south, east, and west—and are believed to protect the land, sea, sky, and underworld.

4. Symbol of Good Fortune: Dragons are widely regarded as symbols of good fortune, prosperity, and abundance in Chinese culture. It is believed that encountering a dragon or possessing dragon imagery brings blessings, wealth, and success. Dragon motifs are commonly found in Chinese art, architecture, and decorative objects to attract positive energy and ward off evil spirits.

5. Shape-shifting Abilities: Dragons are often depicted as shape-shifters capable of assuming various forms, including those of humans, animals, and other mythical creatures. They possess the ability to transform themselves at will, enabling them to interact with humans and intervene in mortal affairs.

6. Guardians of Treasure: Dragons are often associated with hidden treasure and precious gems. It is believed that dragons hoard vast amounts of wealth in their underwater palaces or deep within mountain caves. In legends and folklore, brave heroes embark on quests to seek out dragon-guarded treasures, facing challenges and trials along the way.

7. Spiritual Significance: Beyond their earthly manifestations, dragons hold profound spiritual significance in Chinese philosophy and metaphysics. They symbolize the union of yin and yang, the balance of opposing forces in the universe. Dragons embody the cosmic principle of harmony and transformation, representing the cyclical nature of existence and the eternal cycle of birth, death, and rebirth.

Overall, dragons occupy a central place in Chinese mythology, embodying a rich tapestry of symbolism, cultural significance, and spiritual meaning that continues to resonate deeply within Chinese society and beyond.

In the heart of flames, I find my spark,

A dance of fire, bright and stark.

With every flicker, every flare,

I feel the heat, I feel it flare.

In fire's embrace, I feel alive,

A primal force, I can't contrive.

Its warmth ignites my deepest soul,

As fiery passions take control.

With crackling embers, wild and free,

I find the strength to truly be.

For in the fire's radiant glow,

I learn to let my spirit flow.

In every flame, a story lies,

Of ancient truths that mesmerize.

From fiery trials, we emerge anew,

Transformed by flames, both old and true.

So let us honor fire's might, Embrace its warmth,

its guiding light. For in its blaze, we find our way,

To brighter dawns and each new day.

Beautiful and Ferocious Be magic and alive

Be unique and strong

Live in the realms of hope and mist

The last day of the year.

This year has unfolded in ways I didn't anticipate, yet such is the essence of being alive. Each of us aspires towards dreams and hopes, and life, in the end, reveals itself in unexpected ways. The beauty lies in the unpredictability of life; for those practicing non-attachment and following a spiritual path, this "daily life matrix" is just a fragment of a much broader reality.

I refer to the genuine world as the matrix because we seem to confine ourselves in this existence. Our profound belief in science often detaches us from divine consciousness, the multi-dimensional universe where "reality" is only limited by our collective imagination.

It saddens me that many choose to live in this limited matrix, subscribing to ideas fed by the media—an agenda reiterated repeatedly. Ancient texts and the mysteries of our existence tell a different story: we are cosmic beings, made of stardust, with boundless potential constrained only by our beliefs.

Believing in the limitless possibilities empowers us as strong creators. I've come to realize that I must believe in my ability to craft more incredible, life-changing moments. My voice and words should contribute to creating more peace in this world. I aim to guide others in discovering their divine spirit, breaking down walls, awakening their hearts, and embracing loving creativity.

The hurdle preventing humans from reaching higher realms is a belief system that portrays us as weak, confined to a single game on this planet—work, make money, achieve status, and seek comfort. Many find themselves in despair because, without a deeper purpose, they aren't creating love, peace, and happiness for themselves or others.

Pam Gregory suggests we face two choices in the coming years—either the spiritual path or the material one. The latter keeps us on the 3D level, where fear and chaos dominate, and suffering prevails. The spiritual path, in my opinion, involves looking inward.

It's crucial to cleanse ourselves from internal darkness, as the energy we carry within shapes the reality we see in the world today.

Get to know yourself

Start to love yourself

Start to listen to yourself

Fill your own cup up with love

Spill out your love to the people you have close to you

Be selfish-meaning choose your wellbeing before everyone else

Leave people behind that doesn´t give you love and cause you to lower your frequency.

Treat yourself not with things but experience.

Do not cary other peoples pain and suffering- instead be the light and shine the light clearly, one day they will look at you and ask for guidance.

Do not be afraid of the sun, -see the sun as your light in the darkness and spend time in the sun as much as possible.

Treat the water in your own body and the water you have around you as the ultimate teacher and most sacred spirit.Learn about meditation, find on that suits you.

And last, the trauma you cary within you, that causes you to suffer or makes you sick, take the time to work with it, or get help from some spiritual teacher that can help you move above trauma, it is most important that we clean ourselves from this energies, because the darkness we cary inside will create the reality we see in the world today.

Tantric Ritual

In the tapestry of Tantra, rituals are woven as threads of profound connection between the individual and the divine cosmic energy. These ceremonies are not mere performances; they are sacred dances, intricate and intentional, seeking to harmonize the inner and outer realms, the mundane and the divine.

1. Awakening the Senses: Tantric rituals are sensorial symphonies, designed to awaken the dormant senses and invite a heightened awareness of the present moment. Through the scent of incense, the touch of sacred objects, the taste of ritual offerings, the sight of vibrant colors, and the sound of sacred chants, participants are drawn into a sensory immersion that transcends the ordinary.

2. Union of Shiva and Shakti: At the heart of Tantric rituals lies the acknowledgment of the divine duality—Shiva, the cosmic masculine, and Shakti, the cosmic feminine. Tantric practitioners engage in rituals to merge these energies within themselves, recognizing that true enlightenment arises from the harmonious union of opposing forces. Rituals become a symbolic dance of cosmic energies within the microcosm of the individual.

3. Yantras and Mantras: Sacred geometric patterns, known as yantras, and vibrational sounds, expressed through mantras, are integral components of Tantric rituals. Yantras are visual representations of cosmic energy, while mantras are sonic keys that unlock spiritual realms. Together, they create a vibrational resonance that aligns the practitioner with higher states of consciousness.

4. Conscious Breath: Breath is the bridge between the physical and the spiritual in Tantric rituals. Conscious breathing techniques, such as Pranayama, are employed to attune the individual's life force (prana) with the universal energy. The rhythmic dance of breath becomes a transformative ritual, a journey inward to the core of existence.

5. Union with the Divine: Tantric rituals are not rituals of separation but of union. Participants seek communion with the divine, whether conceptualized as a personal deity or as the universal cosmic energy. The rituals facilitate a merging of the individual soul (Atman) with the divine essence (Brahman), transcending the limitations of the ego.

6. Alchemy of the Inner Self: In Tantric rituals, the mundane is alchemized into the sacred. Daily activities, emotions, and experiences become offerings in the sacred fire of transformation. Through ritualistic practices, individuals transmute the base elements of their existence into the gold of spiritual realization.

7. Celebration of Life: Unlike ascetic traditions that view the material world as a hindrance to spiritual progress, Tantric rituals celebrate life in all its manifestations. From the ecstasy of lovemaking to the simplicity of sharing a meal, every experience becomes a ritual when approached with mindfulness and reverence.

8. Intention and Visualization: Tantric rituals are potent tools for manifestation. Through clear intentions and focused visualization, practitioners channel their energy towards specific goals, whether spiritual, emotional, or material. The mind, in concert with ritualistic practices, becomes a powerful instrument of creation.

In the sacred landscape of Tantra, rituals are not rigid routines but dynamic expressions of the ever-evolving dance between the individual soul and the universal spirit. Each ritual is an opportunity for transcendence, a doorway to the infinite possibilities that lie within the tapestry of existence.
