Love Note from Anjie: Rain Water

rain water

Tomorrow is the solar term in the Asian lunar-solar calendar that is called “Rain Water”. I see this as an invitation to contemplate the preciousness of the water element, which nourishes the wood element to bring forth healing and growth as we welcome spring soon.

from Rumi:

“You are not a drop in the ocean, you are the ocean in a drop”

invitations to deepen

I am invited to deepen this year, by hosting my first meditation and feng shui retreat. I would love to meet some of your in person and practice together. This is a retreat weekend to explore and deepen your understanding of feng shui as a meditation practice while held by the ancient wisdom of the forests of the Hudson Valley region of Upstate New York.

“Set amid a forest of tall cedars and white pines on the northern crest of the Shawangunk Mountains, Sky Lake is a contemplative center for Buddhist meditation, arts, and community.”

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:

Mindful Homes

My new book Mindful Homes: create healing living spaces with mindfulness and feng shui is available for pre-order. It will be available wherever books are sold on April 11, 2023.


Still available:

Welcoming the Wealth Gods

The Lunar New Year Ceremonies are still available through mid Februrary. It's not too late! 

The Golden Cicada is especially helpful for those born in the year of Rabbit, Rooster, and Dragon


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.
