Tibetan New Year

The Dragon is a symbol of
power, assertiveness, expansion,
and intensity.

The Dragon thunders in the sky with the sound of compassion that awakens us from delusion and increases what we can know through
hearing.

Dragons have the power of
complete communication.

Today marks the beginning of the
Year of the Water Dragon...


Put on your crown
and pick up your sword.
Get on your horse.
Raise tremendous windhorse
and realize that
in your heart center
are the three jewels
of the great Eastern Sun.
This is the way we ride
into this particular year.
Just like this,
ride into your life.
Everyday
like
this.
The Sakyong Mipham Rinpoche

Needs

Of all the nutrients we need,
Vitamin L 
is by far the
most essential.


Suggested dosages:
Minimum of 4 hugs daily to prevent deficiency,
6 a day for maintenance,
10 or more for optimal growth.


Hugging makes us feel good,
which naturally releases Oxytocin hormone.
This often leads to a higher prevalence of
thoughts and acts of kindness
toward ourselves and others,
which increases serotonin levels
not only in the direct recipient of the kindness,
but also in the initiator
(this is the really a.maz.ing part)
AS WELL AS in anyone witnessing the kindness. 

Deficiency of Vitamin L is known to cause
many more problems than overdoses.
