The sun has climbed to its highest point for all of us that live north of the equator and will cast its rays most broadly. According to Chinese Medicine, heavenly energy will descend and earthly energy will arise, creating abundance in all forms of life. In order for us to harmonize with the Summer, we must alter our lifestyle, which includes but is not limited to, diet, activity, relationship with the environment, and engaging our senses.

Today the Lunar New Year begins as we welcome the Yang Earth Dog, the eleventh sign in the Chinese zodiac. As we emerge from the Year of the Yin Fire Rooster, where much volatility, chaos, and unsteadiness were pervasive, many significant changes are expected this year.
The energy of the Dog encourages us to remain focused on our goals and not give up. However, it is important to know that this devotion to remain fixed on who we aspire to be can only be achieved through kindness and ethical means.
Wishing you health and abundance! Happy New Year!
